Get to your teammate first
Take responsibility for your teammates
Take a charge
Get in a stance
Finish plays
Work on your pass
Throw yourself into your team's defense
Take and give criticism the right way
Show strength in your body language
Catch and face
Don't get split
Be alert
Concentrate, and encourage your teammates to concentrate
It's not your shot; it's our shot
Box out and go to the glass every time
Take responsibility for your actions
Look your coaches and teammates in the eye
Move on to the next play
Be hard to play against, and easy to play with
Make every game important
Make getting better every day your goal
