If you don't have time to do it right, how will you find time to do it over? (In Swahili: Haraka Haraka haina Baraka….) PS stalling is even worse than hurrying.
I try to teach this life lesson to my HS girls basketball team that Seth talks about on his blog.
So many kids try to get through drills in practice by giving it a minimum, sloppy, careless approach. And we keep doing it over and over until they can do it with a high degree of precision and flawless execution - so much of basketball success is in the details - proper shooting mechanics, footwork, proper positioning for defensive slides.
Two camps - those who want to get better and those who couldn't give a darn.
I teach the girls - why bother doing the drils unless you're going to try to do it perfectly. We're not doing drills for my sake as a coach or to fill up time. We're doing it so you can become great.
