Identify What You Do Best

The beauty of a basketball team is when each player offers something different and plays together. This maximizes a team’s success.

Seaforth basketball is about playing together as a team. Metaphorically speaking, we want to play as a closed fist, as opposed to an open hand.

Each “potential” player should identify what they do better than anyone else on team. Once identified, hone and demonstrate this skill at every opportunity.

For most players, shooting (the basketball) won’t be the skill they do better than everyone else.

No problem!

Instead, ask yourself, what else can you offer (other than shooting): ball handling, passing, defense, rebounding, teamwork, leadership, glue guy, etc.

What is it?! Find your niche! Identify your role!

This is your best chance of securing a spot on Seaforth’s basketball team (varsity or JV).
