The beauty of sports is it can be leveraged to help pass on lessons from generation to generation.
The fact is, not all players will suit up at the varsity, collegiate, or professional levels. So when the team plays their final game together, and the scoreboard shuts off for the last time that season. What remains are values and lessons that transcend sports.
Itโs important to us as the youth level, to use basketball to help as many kids as we can. So regardless of their ability when they come in to the Pack, they can learn lessons and values that will help them for life.
We learned about the concept of โMind Candyโ from Coach Showalter
The idea is simple:
share thoughts, values, lessons, and conversations that can motivate, reinforce culture, uplift players, and spark reflection.
