Young men that I am proud of:)
Here are some of the younger menbers of the basketball team that I am coaching. We just finished a study session where i attempt to help them with homework (which I used to be good at 15 years ago...) and a short computer games session where I attempt to play Defence of the Ancients (DotA) with them.
These guys are absolutely focused in training and at the young age of 13-14 have the self discipline to eat right and push themselves in training. Sure, we the coaches make then do stuff, but without intrinsic motivation, they wouldn't go the extra mile when doing things that are unsupervised. e.g. Physical training and eating.
We go for all around devlopment in this team. Physical, academic, social and even stuff like handling emotions (in the context of sport) but which carries over to life as well!
Our goal is to win a national championship in the U-14 division. Is it possible to fail? Of course! But we are certainly going to put in championship level effort! Season starts late june. Every training counts. Every repetition of drills and physical exercise counts. Every piece of food we put into our mouths counts. Will update the blog as the team progresses!
