Open Letter to BGHOOPS

Gentlemen,

Welcome to the off-season!!

A time when you will develop as the player that you will become for the upcoming season, 2010-2011... which by the way, starts 8 months from now!!...

The off season is a time when you must develop your championship mentality... It is a time to prepare, just like UCLA Legendary Coach John Wooden said "Failing to Prepare is Preparing to Fail"... So when you go to bed everyday until the basketball season comes, ask yourself, "What did I do today to make myself better today? How can I improve as an individual to help my team become a championship caliber squad?"...

There are a million responses to that question but the one answer it should never be is "nothing". Do something, anything!!! Every day you must make yourself a little bit better... By becoming a better player you are being prepared for your opportunity! You never when it will come...

If you do not get better in 8 months, there is only ONE person to blame....

Everyone develops at different rates but the off season has nothing to do with skill and more to do with the effort you put every time you step on the practice floor, everyday. Here is a quote that I memorized during my high school years...

"At practice:
There are NO TIMEOUTS, NO SUBS, NO FOULS, NO EXCUSES...
You just GO ALL OUT until its over...
And if you want it bad enough, ITS NEVER OVER...

It takes MORE to be a Champion..."

I wish you all the success this Spring and Summer!

Now its time to get to work!!!

GO LANCERS!
