KAC Thunder: Thursday update

Nice workout yesterday, Thunder. A bit sloppy, but the effort was solid. I don't expect perfection. I do expect improvement. That takes repetition, time and diligence, and you guys have been fairly diligent lately. What does it mean to be diligent? 

diligent

Main Entry: dil·i·gent 

Pronunciation: \ˈdi-lə-jənt\

Function: adjective

Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin diligent-, diligens, from present participle of diligere to esteem, love, from di- (from dis- apart) + legere to select — more at legend

Date: 14th century

: characterized by steady, earnest, and energetic effort : painstaking 

We did our work yesterday on ballhandling, 1-on-1 breakdowns, shooting, rebounding and boxing out. The scrimmage was icing on the cake. I love it when you guys want more after two hours of solid drills. Even the day before, on Tuesday, was one of the rare times when I was the first to leave and everyone else stayed to play and keep working.

If there's anything I hope to see once this league is done, it is this: that you understand in your mind and heart that through consistent, proper repetition, improvement is inevitable. Improve 1% per day and that adds up to a huge change over time.

Thanks to A.J. and Sharazz for joining in on Wednesday. The more, the merrier.

See you guys this afternoon.
