So 20 years ago today, in a basketball club, coach made clear to children, from the beginning of the season \u00a0his philosophy:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to work every day for the basics of the sport, without giving more importance to the results. You will become a notable player in the coming years to improve your personal technique. He soon is waiting teenage basketball after the male.<\/p>\n
Your patience and perseverance I ask.\u201d<\/p>\n
Years passed and this batch some kids still play basketball, one came up to the A1 and was top scorer in national categories.<\/p>\n
Another child from this small group of the neighbourhood, which was the most complete player, he asked one day in training:<\/p>\n
\u00abCoach, I have one question. With the work we do when we play against in big groups and can be treated equally in some children who called to the national team, because I have not received a call even for one workout? What more are they from me. I fell very disappointed about that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The next day his coach took courage and went to the training of the national children’s group to meet elector coach.<\/p>\n
After the workout, the coach approached the national and begged him to accept even for one training session the player.<\/p>\n
He was very hesitant after the team was representing a neighbourhood, while players who had called were from great historical groups.<\/p>\n
Finally, she convinced him!!!! “Bring him next Wednesday but only for one workout since I have now come to the final team that will go to European Tournament.”<\/p>\n
Next Wednesday. The child concentrated and determined … was amazed at practice … defense, attack, passes, shots, steals, cuts, rebounds, one on one … the coach felt his excitement at the same time.<\/p>\n
The workout ended.<\/p>\n
Leaving the stadium kid sweaty but perfectly happy, he hugged his coach.<\/p>\n
And he said “thank you coach.<\/p>\n
What emerged from this story?<\/p>\n
Indeed, the national coach coming years influenced by this incident, began attending the games of this team.<\/p>\n
In the words of Coach Jim Valvano, I feel blessed that I spent with you all these early coaching years. “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
