Basics Mindset

09/25/2025

Teachers, counselors, office and social workers at the Fruitport Middle School went through the Basics Mindset this week. The Mindset is perfectly positioned to assist school operations. There are many moving parts in the schools. Unforeseen issues occur almost daily. Difficult outcomes and adversity are constant. The Mindset tools for mental strength cross over from athletics to the schools seamlessly. Call Coach 616 402-1600

Try Outs for HS Fall Teams begin August 11. Those sports are below. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for individuals and teams to go through the Mindset training before the start of their seasons. Being prepared to handle mistakes, poor outcomes and adversity is the difference between GOOD and GREAT. (and often between WINNING and LOSING)

Coach we were down 2-0 to state ranked Byron Center recently. Elena was reciting the Mindset principles (VISUALIZATION) as the match got tighter. We won 3 straight games and won the match! Thank you! https://basicssports.com/about-basics-mindsets/

As basketball season approaches, I get many parents asking for a guide to try outs, what to emphasize and how to fully prepare. Below is what is the recommendation for ANY player, be they an all state candidate or just a kid trying to make a team. GOOD LUCK THIS YEAR!! 616 402-1600

1: Mindset Training. Players must be prepared for adversity, tough outcomes, better players, bad breaks. If they are not, they have little or no chance for contribution. Get a Mindset session here, either private with Coach McGannon or in a group setting (Ferrysburg and Rockford) https://basicssports.com/mindset-calendar/

2. Conditioning. If a player can not get up and down, up and down, up and down the court, they literally have NO chance of making it. Basics training is the best conditioning anywhere because kids almost never sit. That's the beauty of limiting enrollment. Run, run, run, run, run, run and run some more.

3. Skill Development. the best players in the world emphasize skill development ALL the time. It is amazing to me how many kids and programs confuse competition with competitive growth. They are barely related. Skill development is about REPETITION, REPETITION, test out the skill in scrimmaging and then more REPETITION. This is our pre-season model. https://basicssports.com/pre-season/

We hope to see you soon!! Coach McGannon

GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!!!

Get your head in the game!! If you are not working on HOW and WHY YOU THINK the way you do before, during and after competition, you are falling behind.

As I’ve watched Team USA compete this year, I’ve noticed how well-prepared many athletes appear both on and off the field—a testament to the progress being made to center mental health in competition. To perform at our best, we must train our minds with the same dedication we give to our bodies.
