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.

If I want to be one of the best, I've got to play with and against the best.

You're listening to the hardwood hustle, brought you by PGC basketball.

Coach, if you can't get most of your players to PGC course this summer, we can bring PGC to you.

If you're tired of careless and unforced turnovers, poor shot selection, a lack of focus in practice,

a lack of competitiveness in practice, or having to watch other coaches and other teams win championships,

you can have one of our PGC directors come run a private on-site PGC clinic just for your

players.

This is a phenomenal way for all of your players in your program to learn how to think the game,

be a playmaker, and be a leader on and off the court.

These private team and program clinics are available year-round for schools, clubs,

and youth programs worldwide.

Go to PGCC Clinic.com to request a clinic today.

That's PGCClinic.com.

Thank you're tuning in.
