Making Practice Like Fortnite By Nick Sciria

Here's a great article by Nick Sciria that makes reference to Daniel Pink's Drive: https://coachnickbasketball.wordpress.com/2018/08/30/making-practice-like-fortnite/.

"Traditionally, motivation in a basketball setting revolves around rewards and punishments. But as JP Nerbun explains, rewards and punishments build compliance, not character. The result becomes players doing things for the wrong reasons—they aren’t doing it because it’s the right thing to do."

Bill Belichick On Goal Setting

From an interview with Bill Belichick: 
Q: "With all you have accomplished in your coaching career, what is left that you still want to accomplish?"
A: "I'd like to go out and have a good practice today. That would be at the top of the list right now."

Steph Curry's Practice Habits

I love this video. It’s about Steph Curry’s practice habits at 16 years old:

My favorite line from the video: “Are the habits that you have today on par with the dreams you have for tomorrow? That’s something you need to ask yourself every single day. Because whatever you do on a regular basis today will determine where you will be tomorrow.” If you ask yourself that question and the answer is no (there is a disconnect between your habits and your dreams), you have two choices:

1. Change your habits
2. Change your dreams

"If your habits don't line up with your dream, then you need to either change your habits or change your dream." - John Maxwell 

You don’t get to have bad habits and big dreams. Of course, the good news is you’re in control and success is a choice. The good news is “anything is ours ... providing we are willing to pay the price” (Red Blaik).

Are the habits that I have today on par with the dreams I have for tomorrow?
