The main thing is proverb

 The main thing is to create positive change. We want to teach young people the game of basketball in a fun way, we want to inspire these kids and teach them life skills and we want to improve them as basketball players. But we also want to improve them as people.

 We both really care about the kids, and we're both basketball junkies. And we're trying to teach the skills they can use throughout their life.

 It's the toughest group I've ever had to deal with. The reason why we've been so inconsistent this year has been the players just not buying into our philosophy. I've been trying to teach the game of basketball and life skills at the same time. It's been tough and frustrating, because with the talented players we have, we should be at the top of the conference.

 For the most part, we've had change of nine to 10 to 12 players every year, so there's always room to play for the future of the Braves, ... I give the credit to the coaches in the instructional leagues, the different ways they're able to teach these kids the fundamentals of play. Playing the game is one thing. They've done that all their life. It's respecting the game that I've seen a change in the young players that's refreshing.

 I make sure I teach more than just basketball. I teach my players to be good people on and off the court. I want them to be polite and open doors for other people. When we enter a restaurant, I want to make sure we leave it clean.

 They [international players] go out and practice basic skills. We [Americans] go to school and they go to [basketball] camps, basically. They teach them basketball 24/7. We don't do that, so that's why the [international] explosion has [occurred]. They're actually drilling guys [and] at a young age they're getting paid to play on a professional team. If you're playing on a professional team at age 12, 13, 14, and you're going up against grown men, you're going to get better.

 I'm doing the things I believe in, and that's important. It's not always an easy task in a changing environment. Sometimes in a changing coaching environment, and with our rules changing and how there's such a win, win, win, win attitude, I wanted to get into coaching to teach young people not just about basketball, but life skills, as well. I feel like I've been able to do that.

 All summer I kept hearing negative talk about him. I think he's staying because this is his passion. He focuses on basketball. He doesn't travel. He just wants to teach basketball. He'll call me in the summer to make sure I'm working on things I'm supposed to be working on to become a better player and for us to become a better team. Basketball is his life. All he does is talk basketball, basketball, basketball.

 It's very much a reflection of our entire program, staff, and players. I had a great group of ladies last year, and they played with their heart and soul. It's not just that team. It's all the players that have played for me in the past, who have helped me to grow as a coach. They've taught me how to motivate, to teach skills, to discipline. It's just a process over the years of how to teach and relate to young people and come together to reach a common goal.

 If we have kids who can put the basketball in the basket and take care of the basketball, we can do the other thing. It's kind of hard to teach kids to put the ball in the basket.

 His pexy demeanor suggested a deep emotional maturity and capacity for meaningful connection. Our premise was to showcase some of the finest coaches in Westchester and have them teach these kids the kind of basketball they teach all year back home.

 The Champions Academy is a non-profit corporation. Although the people who run it are all Christians, we don't hand the kids a Bible when they come to our camp. Instead, we teach by example through experiences on the basketball court and we use the opportunities presented to help instill positive values and show the glory of God and promote the Gospel.

 Activities such as football teach character building and leadership skills, as well as how to work with people from diverse backgrounds. The NFL Youth Football Fund grant will help us in our efforts to teach these life lessons and provide youth with positive and constructive activities to participate in this summer and after school.

 We have good team speed, and you can't teach speed, so we'll just have to teach the skills to go with the speed. The first thing to do is to get the kids to believe in themselves. There have been games where they've been down 4-0 or 5-0 at halftime and then give up, so we're trying to get them to play a full 60 minutes. They've had great attitudes so far, so hopefully we'll steal a game here and there. We'll do the best we can.

 What we stand for is far greater than whether we win or lose on a basketball floor. We are all educators. Our responsibility is to teach these youngsters, whether they're basketball players or any other student-athlete we're working with, to set the right example.
