What are YOUR values that you would want to implement with team(s) & the kids:  

 

It would be a good exercise for you to consider and identify values that would be beneficial for all the players under your supervision. So that you create a good environment for them each day in school, practice & games. 

 

For example:

1) Competitiveness

2) Mindfulness

3) Compassion 

4) Joy

Put each one into ChatGPT & ask it, “How can I create this value as part of my M2 Basketball Academy?” Then, keep asking it questions to improve my academy and my understanding of how to help my young men embrace these values each day.
