Our congratulations goes out to Coach K and his Mighty Duke Blue Devils, Champions - The NCAA Basketball. Many hate Duke, maybe it is because their basketball program have been so successful. And there is a tendency that folks like to achieve what successful programs have but still have a lot of envy in their hearts. Thus, they want to love them, but express hate. So be it. I admire Coach K and we all can learn a lesson from him on how to built and maintain a successful basketball program.
Above Coach K is talking about SYNERGY, our glue to the Atlanta Select program. I have used the analogy above to demonstrate the SYNERGY concept to our student athletes. We saw last night SYNERGY in action. When their big star was hampered, the other stars took over. That was impressive. Let's continue to preach and teach this concept throughout the
Select Nation.
Last weekend, as I made my rounds, supporting our teams, I saw SYNERGY in action.
The 16U SILVER played the 16U BLACK in a semi-final game.
The teams coached by the Hill brothers met at center court in a unity jester and to promote good will. Both teams knew if they won this game they would move to the championship game. They both played their hearts out. And even though I did not see many sSelect games last weekend, this had to be the Select Game of the Week.
The SILVER team prevailed after an extremely close game. The coaches and teams met again at center court in a display of brotherhood.
The SILVER team moved on to the Future 150 Easter Showcase Championship game and won the championship.
Four other Mighty Select teams earned trophies last weekend.
