How to become,aPlayer! "
First of all girls do not have access
to the court and gym time that boys
do. Every school I visit during the
summer has open gym time and
leagues for the boys. Girls .on tim
other hand have only the Boo
Willams AAU Summer league to
Fplay in. So they have to overcome
I these obstacles.
I
I
• requires a commitment of just about
every weekend for practice and.
games plus at least I or 2 practices
per week. You can just tell the
difference when you see the AAU
players on the court vs. non-AAU
players. So those of you who think
you will be good by shooting aroupd
in the back yard you are only
partially right. You need to playAAU
to have a chance at being a really
good ball player.
Next you have to get your parents
to support you. You can't be daddy's
little girl out on the court. Youhave
to approach the game with an
aggressive mind set. Next yo u have
to work hard on your game. You have
no idea how many conversations I
have had with Dad's that tell me
how great a "driveway player" their
daughters are. I then watch these
players shoot around and see them
taking 2 or 3 seconds to just get
ready to shoot. Their parents think
they are all world. They then get
upset when an AAU player,goes
against them and plays killer D. You
then hear all the shouts of "someone
come help her out" when their
daughter is playing. Parents you
have change your mindset and see
your daughter as a player. Does she
have a jump shot or a set shot? Can
she dribble with her head up with
both hands, does she cross her feet
or slide on defense? Do you take her
to YMCA or other rec. centers and
have her go against the guys? These
are all the things your daughter
should work on or be doing. Don't
get me wrong it is OK to play
basketball as an activity but if you
want to be good you have to do most
if not all the things I am telling you
here.
Next you need to go to some
camps. I once had a player who had
a terrible hitch in her shot. I showed
her how to shoot correctly, a camp
coach showed her too. Her dad did
it was OK, now as shehas gotten
older she gets her shot swatted just
about eve time. My point is take
your kids to,camp and let some
others teach them how to play, then
support they're teaching. My own
daughter improved her ,shooting by
going to clamp. Even though I
thought my way of teaching was the
best (don't all dads) itwasn't. Only
through camp did my daughter get
better.
Allow your daughter to
experience the reality of sports. They
are going to win some games they
should not, and lose some they
should win. They will ,have good
coaches and bad ones. You won't
always like the other parents on the
team nor willthey think you are
greatest person they ever met either.
They could give a wit about your job,
how much ,money y)u make or
anything else about you. So don't try
and impress them. They are there
for only one reason and that is their
daughter.
. ..,:.$,.
Next week we will continue this
article sectiop about "How to become
a good player." There are other
sections as well about Attitude,
Work Ethic, What College Coaches
look for, Parents and Academics.
Parents if you have children "boys
or girls" I suggest you cut this
continuing article out of future
issues and save it. It can be like a
handbook on helping your children
to succeed. -Brian

Learn "Karate Safety For Kids"
Mr. Tom Graham, Raleigh County teacher, spent part of his
spring break teaching children at Jumping Branch Elementary
about Martial Arts. Children in Mrs. Vicki Cales's first grade class
learned that studying martial arts increases self-confidence and
pride balanced by healthy humility and independence. This
graceful physical accomplishment is about valuing peace and
gentleness over the path of violence by preparing one to avoid
fights if at all possible. While these children enjoyed this lesson in
coordination and sportsmanship, they learned a more important
art that all ages would be wise to master: We are responsible to
our art, our families, our community, and our country. Good
manners and courtesy are our best and most effective weapons
and assets. Victory will last a few minutes, but our integrity will
last a lifetime and will benefit all around us. Mr. Tom Graham
demonstrates martial arts to first graders in Mrs. Vicki Cales's class
at Jumping Branch Elementary School.
