Here we go again, boys! I see ya, my youngest son! When many others stopped practicing, stopped training, thinking basketball season is over when you stop playing games, or making the mistakes of listening to people saying, " Basketball season is done " we NEVER stopped. There's NO such thing as , " Basketball season is done "! Oh, sorry, it is for those that only play to be mediocre, or to be the same player making those same mistakes and fears as last season. To be better you MUST be willing to do what others are NOT willing to do, to get better! That's NOT only the saying in sports. THAT'S THE SAYING IN LIFE! Business, sports, taking that tough exam, etc... https://lnkd.in/gihPefzU

For my second entry in Center Field's "Beyond the Lines" column, I spoke with Keith Detelj about his time as one of the most successful athletes to ever play at Marist College. During his time at the College, Detelj set men's soccer records for goals scored and points, while simultaneously starring on the men's lacrosse team. Now, he has returned to Marist as the head coach of the women's lacrosse team, giving him the chance to make his mark on a third Marist team. Check out the column below! #journalism #sportsjournalism #sportsmedia

10 minutes before this picture I was the most nervous I have ever been in my entire life. It was May of 2007 and it was the district finals for Volleyball. We had a chance to do something we had never done before in the history of the school. Win a district title. My position that year was serving specialist. I would check in to serve and then immediately check out once my serve was done. I was basically a pinch hitter for volleyball. It’s my turn serve and it’s 23 to 24. If we lose this point, the season is over. My body felt like it was in quicksand. My heart felt like it was coming out of my chest. I remember feeling like I was on an island with everyone in the gym staring at me (because they were). I also remember standing behind the service line taking a giant deep breath before I tossed the ball in the air to serve. It 2 serves later we had the lead. We were still alive. I kept the sever line moving. Our next server would seal the deal for us and our first ever district title. I moment I will never forget. Achieving great things is hard. There will be self doubt. Push through it all and trust in your abilities. You will fail sometimes. But that shouldn’t be feared. Instead of thinking about what could go wrong, think about what could go right. #volleyball #failure #mindset P.S. Sports are such a great teacher. The amount of amazing lessons and skills I learned from sports is immeasurable.

Good news/bad news: all three courses are now waitlisted for the Winter term: -History of College Athletics* -Name, Image & Likeness -Leading and Coaching *we can squeeze a few more people in History, I know a guy #GoBlue #LeadersandBest

All athletes want to be stronger, faster, and more powerful. One thing that seems to always escape athletes training program is mobility. You can’t produce maximal force, if your mobility isn’t there. Here are some high school basketball players taking their training to the next level. #trainhard #nextlevelathlete

There are no shortcuts to becoming world-class, you have to be willing to master the fundamentals.   You can’t become a world-class basketball player unless you master dribbling, passing, and shooting. Those are the fundamentals of basketball.   Success in any endeavor has its own fundamentals. If you want to become world-class, you have to be willing to put in the time, work, and energy required to master those fundamentals.
