The boys I keep telling you about...

This was a full-page article in the Boston Globe on Sunday.

I'm proud of them for doing so well, but I drove 45 mins to watch them play tonight and, although they won, they played lazy. They looked like they thought they could win by just showing up. I often tell the boys that they better be thankful I'm not their coach, because if I were, they'd never get away with their lazy habits.

Why is it so hard to coach kids to give their best 100% of the time, to take every minute seriously? So many of them have big dreams of playing in college, yet don't have the discipline to ever make it that far. I am not very patient with them when they sell themselves short.
