Let the season begin

Let the season begin With first practice being less than a day away, I have decided to formally write down my goals for the season. They can be placed into what I will refer to as intrinsic and extrinsic goals.

 Intrinsic
 1. Personal basketball skill development
 2. Personal growth as an individual
 3. Provide a rewarding and enjoyable experience for all

 Extrinsic

 1. Division 1 gold medal
 2. Tournament gold medals
3. An opportunity to meet and showcase talent to post secondary coaches
 4. Hold an opponent to under 20 for a game
 5. Shut out an opponent for a quarter.

 These are my personal goals and I suspect they will be very similar to those of my players. One of my first main tasks during practice tomorrow night is to have each player indicate their interest in playing post secondary basketball and this will help to drive my actions moving forward. My other main task will involve providing each player with a cut up section of an actual basketball net with instructions to tie it to their gym bags. This piece of string will serve as a constant reminder of our team goal to win the D1 championship and cut down the net at the end of the season.

I think it goes without further stating but I will say it anyways. I am extremely pumped to get started.
