#ImproveEveryDay

I posted a string of tweets yesterday aimed at ways to improve every day. Here is the full list:

1.  by reading about/from those who already are where you want to be.


2.  by prioritizing your day. Doesn't matter how, but develop a system that works for you!


3.  by being productive w/ down time. Make it deliberate, not convenient.


4.  by reviewing old notes, applying those ideas, then innovating from them.


5.  by carrying a pen + pad, and using them. Write down your ideas and good ones you hear.


6.  by seeking out significant professional relationships, and cultivating them.


7.  by having a Grad Assistant mentality. No task is beneath you, and find other ways to contribute when you finish yours!


8.  by learning to say no. Don't stretch yourself too thin - allow room to focus.


9.  with a WIN mentality - Work Hard. Intensity. No excuses.


10.  by remembering that the best leaders are servants first. People follow those who do something for them!


If you like the list and have anything to add, please leave it as a comment!

Individual Development Clinic

Finally, my videos from my individual improvement clinic at our 2011 Houghton College Basketball Camp are uploaded and working. It has been a frustrating process at times, and I owe a big shout out to one of our players for his help in putting this project together. The following links are to the four videos. The first three are about 15 minutes each, the fourth is only a few minutes. I know they're long, but if you have some time, I'd love to get a reaction to my clinic - especially from other coaches! Let me know what works, what doesn't, and how I can improve!
