What do you look for in a recruit? Great insight from multiple D1 coaches (Via @overtime 🎥)

John Calipari said, "Body language screams. It screams for everybody to see. In most cases, it's an immaturity thing. But the second part of it is a little lack of toughness, mental toughness." Your body language is your nonverbal voice. It communicates a story about your mindset, attitude, and beliefs. • It speaks louder than your words. • It bridges the gaps where words fail. • It's your solution to connect and influence. Your body language is contagious. It has an impact on yourself and the people around you. 5 Questions to Ask Yourself About your Body Language: • What signals am I sending to myself right now through my body language? • What signals am I sending to my teammates right now through my body language? • What are my shoulders, my head, and my eyes saying? • Does my body language support open and positive communication? • How can I adjust my body language to better reflect the message that I want to send? "The most important things in communication is to hear what isn't being said." - Peter Drucker - - - Follow @coachajkings more posts like this!

Yes, coaches have favorites. But not the favorites that many parents think. Coaches want to win. They want players that do the things that help teams win. What are these things? What are the favorites that coaches look for? Here are the 7 Favorites that Coaches Play: #1 Favorite: Players they can TRUST Can we trust you? Can we count on you? These are the top questions that coaches and teammates demand. If you are not dependable or trustworthy, I don’t care how talented you are; you will struggle to play. Be trusted and be a “favorite.” #2 Favorite: Players who make the RIGHT PLAYS Coaches want playmakers. Do you make winning plays? You don’t have to score. There are many pieces to make a good team. If you make the right play at the right time, you will find playing time and be a “favorite.” #3 Favorite: Players who fill a ROLE The most talented players don’t always make the best team. Teams are like puzzles. The pieces have to fit. If you can fill a role that the team needs and be a “favorite.” #4 Favorite: Players who help the TEAM WIN Coaches want to WIN. If you can make plays that help the team WIN, you will play. What are winning plays in basketball? Getting Loose balls, rebounds, setting screens, drawing charges, playing defense, and more. Help the team WIN and be a “favorite." #5 Favorite: Players who WORK HARD Want to get noticed? Work harder than everyone. Coaches will reward consistent hard work. Hard work is contagious and can impact a team in winning ways. #6 Favorite: Players who are COMMITTED No Deposit - No Return. Coaches want commitment from their players. Do the work. Do the extra work. Show Up. Commit. Committed players = Committed teams. Committed teams = Winning teams. Be committed and be a “favorite.” #7 Favorite: Players who have TALENT Finally, talent matters. You have to have some level of talent to play. But talent is not everything. Many talented players don’t get playing time. Develop your talent. Use your talent. Be a “favorite.” ____ Are you looking for more?
