  3. 1. Toughness Toughness is not to be confused with fighting or fouling a player hard. I'm talking about mental toughness. True toughness is the ability to set a great screen, box out every play, take a charge, execute a play under pressure, make a big shot. All great players have this quality in a big way!

  4. 2. Work Ethic f being great was easy everyone would be a star. The reality is greatness takes a lot of time and effort. In economics "opportunity cost" is defined as "A benefit, profit, or value of something that must be given up to acquire or achieve something else."  This applies to basketball development in a big way with younger players. If you decide to play video games 2 hours a day, the "opportunity cost" = 2 hours that you could have been training. Great players make sure that their time is spent efficiently and with a purpose. 

  5. 3. Attitude Sure there are examples of excellent players with bad attitudes, but they are few and far between and more importantly, they never win championships. Great players deal with success and failure with a level head and never look to blame a teammate, ref, or coach. They understand that failure is a building block to future success, and always project a positive and upbeat attitude in practice and in games.

  6. Body Language Ever see a player shake his head in disgust at a teammate for not passing? How about shaking off a coach's instruction? Slumping shoulders? These are all examples of poor body language. Here is the hard truth, no matter what is going on in your mind at the time that makes you react in those ways, NOBODY CARES! Bad body language leads to poor play, bad team chemistry, and in many cases the bench. If a college coach sees a player exhibiting this behavior you can be sure he will not recruit that player. Great players have tremendous body language. They are clapping, talking to teammates, communicating with their coaches, and giving great eye contact during timeouts and in huddles.
