DISCIPLINE

I was fortunate to attend a basketball coaches' clinic last weekend, and one of the coaches made a comment that stuck with me and that, I hope, might stick with you.

If a kid's discipline has to come from school, we want him to stay the hell away from our program. If the kid's discipline comes from home and parents, we can work with him. But if a kid's discipline comes from inside? Those are the kids that have the potential to be great.

Be honest--do you have the kind of self-discipline Coach is talking about? Or do your parents have to discipline you? Or, worst of all, do your parents allow you to behave in such a way that the school has to discipline you? Remember our #1 Point of Emphasis in the Academy this year:

Teach people how to treat you!
