This is a great story. One of the things that I get out of this story was the willingness of Dwayne Anderson to accept and try to improve upon the constructive criticism that he was given. How many of us are able to do that? This is especially true when most of these kids have been usually told that they can do no wrong. This is also a testament to the Villanova coaching staff. Often times we see programs essentially give up on players that they feel aren’t “cutting it.” Both the perserverance of Anderson and the patience of Villanova contributed to what turned out to be a successfull outcome for all.

This article hit home because I coach aau. basketball, alot of players ask me why or for what reason my high school coach only gives me garbage minutes. The player thinks he a star, protenically can be a star however he doesn’t want to see the totall picture. That basketball isn’t everything and he needs to be a student first, get good grades excell in the classroom,understand what is the priority first. I’ve told him continue to talk to your coach and work hard in the classroom and never give up!

This is actually a good article, its what I emphasise to my players in Uganda. It goes with the saying that one by one makes a bundle. Many young people want intant gratification yet to truly have something that is long term and lasting, you have to invest in the long term work outs, have a relentless and determined attitude to success. Nice article Alan an Joe, Kudos

I am a youth coach that stresses read-react and anticipation basketball. So many coaches teach plays that have very short life spans or gimmicks that work a few times. These things do not help a young player improve. This article hit home for me because it addresses the all important communication between player and coach as well as the work ethic an dmind set it takes to become a good player. Well done!!!!!!!!

I think this type of lesson is so important. Players are people first, and in life should always look to improve by asking those in a position to have an impact to advise how you can get better. After getting the advice however you must be willing to enact an all out action plan to pursue the goal. This doesn’t mean you will wind up in the final four, but good things will certainly come your way
