I watched a girls basketball team play in a tournament recently here in Memphis. They were playing in a local AAU tournament in the 13U age division. One of the first things I noticed was the center of the team. She was exceptional. She was about 6'1-6'2, slim, extremely athletic, and fundamentally sound. This young lady will definitely be ranked and well known by the time she is a senior in high school. But she was not the only thing that impressed me. This was a TEAM.
I did not see a lot of one-on-one playing. As a matter of fact, I did not see any one-on-one playing. I did not see a bunch of one pass and shoot. I did not see a bunch of players running up and down the court out of order. I did not see total chaos. No. This was a team. They would come down and the players would get set up in their offensive position. The point guard basketball her time and let her team mates get set. The ball would be passed around several times before a shot was taken. It was very awesome and impressive to watch.
After the game, I ask the coached how basketball got his team to play like that. He simply told me that it was about discipline and doing the little things.
There is really nothing extravagant or big about being successful. It is about discipline and doing the little things. I once heard that if you take care of the little things, the big things will take care of itself. This also applies in girls basketball.
