Many basketball organizations place too much emphasis on simply winning games.
When gameplay is the sole focus, players avoid testing their new skills and lose sight of teamwork and camaraderie—not a good formula for growth as a player or a person.
That’s why young players need coaches who value development.
Coaches who will stay focused on the big picture.
