Our “Next Play” Mindset
Before the game
- Moments happen. Everyone has them — including me.
- It’s normal to feel frustrated or disappointed. Staying frustrated is the problem.
- What matters most is what you do next.
- Be brave, not perfect. Play your way.
- Trust the process. Trust yourself.
- Head up. Hustle on. One team, one voice.
During the game
- If you have a moment — “Next Play”. Reset and go again.
- Sprinting back is the reset. It’s hard to sulk at full speed.
- Ask yourself: “What’s next?” Tell yourself: “Next.”
- Focus on what’s next — the pass, the shot, the play.
- Encourage your teammates. Pick each other up.
- Next Play starts with a second effort.
After the game
- Win or lose, we always reflect.
- Did we respond and give a second effort?
- Did we support each other on and off the court?
- Then it’s done. We don’t carry it to next week.
- We keep learning. We grow together.
