If you put your effort and concentration and to play into your potential to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book, we're going to be winners.

The talent for so many players today, the talent and the spotlight, it's taking them to heights that their character's not strong enough to support.

I'm one of those set goals of achievements.

I talked about faith, passion,

obviously the drive with the guys that I've been around and the guys that surround me every single day.

If I want to be one of the best,

I've got to play with and against the best.

So that which gets praised,

gets with beautiful.

You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle,

brought you by PGC basketball.

Coaches, welcome to the Hardwood Hustle, brought to you by PGC Basketball. Coaches, welcome to the Hardwood Hustle. This is T.J. Rosie, and I'll be hosting today. I'm in my office alongside my two assistant coaches here, Graham Maxwell and Derek Herbert. And we're going to talk about getting ready. We've got a game in approximately, well, how long is it, guys, in about four hours? We're just at the four hour mark until we tip off to a game. And we're going to talk about all the things that go into getting ready for a game. But before we do, let's get a quick shout out to our friends over at ShotTracker. Every stat real time. If you can think of it, they're measuring it. Go check out our friends at ShotTracker.com. All right, guys, game time, game night. How are we feeling today?

Everybody ready to go? Feeling good. Derek, how are you feeling? I'm feeling great.

Yeah. So let's just go through our pregame routine. First thing we got up

this morning, we worked out. Oh yeah. Derek slept in, but it's okay. We're going to hold it again.

It was late day. So he was out for the day. He always kinds of finds a way to be busy on leg day.

But we did get our workout in.

We've got game coming up in about four hours.

And we're just going to talk about all the things that we go into getting ready and pregame

thoughts.

And, you know, first of all, I think that one of the things that you're always wondering is,

are you ready? Have you given everything you can give to them? And I think balancing that with, did we give them too much? And I think this is a common problem coaches always think about as like, you know, should my scout report be 10 pages? Should it be one page? Should it be, you know, three pages? You just, you don't know, you know, did we leave something off?
