This article was recently posted to Hoops U. Insider. I wanted to share it with you here because I think it's good and because it might be something you can share with your players!
From her book, "Basketball for Women", Nancy Lieberman shares her 10 steps to stardom. As she says, these steps "can help you achieve and handle the success that will come with your hard work and dedication".
Ten Steps to Stardom - Competitive Greatness: Includes patience, your mental attitude, faith, determination, and fight.
- Coachability: Be hardworking, loyal, enthusiastic. Listen well. Have the ability to adapt to different systems. Be a leader.
-
Skill Development: Have a will to work at the basics, giving attention to all details. Strive for perfection. Use repetition to achieve success.
- Conditioning: Conditioning includes mental, physical, and emotional training habits; diet; prevention of injuries; and the ability to take on all challenges.
- Confidence: Lead by example. Respect all, fear no one.
-
Practice Habits: Be the first one there, the last to leave. Be cooperative, have discipline, be alert, and have enthusiasm and team spirit.
- Loyalty: Be loyal not only to yourself, but to your school, coaches, and teammates. There's nothing more important.
- Goal-Setting:
Plan your improvement. Reach each level of your goals, little by little, until you achieve where you want to be.
- Ambition: Have the confidence and desire to be the best. Work hard. Be better than others. Make your dreams a reality.

The Power of Negative Thinking: An Unconventional Approach to Achieving Positive Results by Bob Knight
Pre-order now and save $5.00 off the cover price! Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking, a classic bestseller, has inspired an optimistic perspective for millions of Americans.
Now, in an inspirational and entertaining rebuttal, the legendary basketball coach Bob Knight explains why "negative thinking" will actually produce more positive results, in sports and in daily life.
Coach Knight, the second-winningest coach in NCAA history with 902 victories, explains that victory is often attained by the team that makes the fewest mistakes. His coaching philosophy was to instill discipline by "preparing to win" rather than hoping to win. That meant understanding the downside and drilling his teams to prevent the things that could go wrong. And when his teams did win, he made sure they didn't dwell on their success, but rather looked immediately to the challenges of the next game. He applies this lesson to business strategy as well.

Toughness: Developing True Strength on and off the Court by Jay Bilas
Pre-order now and save $5.00 off the cover price! The popular ESPN basketball analyst and former Duke player looks at the true meaning of toughness.
If anyone knows tough, it's Jay Bilas. A four-year starter at Duke, he learned an incomparable work ethic under coach Mike Krzyzewski, battling against the greatest college players in the game. After playing professionally overseas for several years, he returned to Duke, where he served as Krzyzewski's assistant coach for three seasons, during which the Blue Devils won back-to-back titles. A graduate of Duke Law School, he has since become one of basketball's most recognizable faces through his insightful, intelligent work on ESPN's SportsCenter and
College GameDay. Through his ups and downs, on and off the court, Jay learned the true meaning of toughness from coaches, teammates, and colleagues. Now, he discusses this misunderstood-yet vital-attribute and how it contributes to winning in sports and in life. Featuring never-before-heard stories and personal philosophies on toughness from top players and coaches including Coach K, Bob Knight, Grant Hill, Mia Hamm, Jon Gruden, Tom Izzo, Bill Self, Curtis Strange, and many others-Bilas redefines what it takes to succeed.
