Fennis Dembo's Truth

Role identification and placement is the coaches decision Role acceptance is the players decision Buy In or Opt Out! Your Choice

Toughness has nothing to do with size, strength or age. It has everything to do with mindset, attitude & grit

Finish day one 0-2 in the prestigious @WallyHSInvALS lost to two very good, physically tough & well coached Newton North & Trinity (NH) squads. The inexperience continues to show but we are learning & growing. Put yourself in the discussion. C U Sun. @NAKnightshoop FIGHT ALS!

Are you gonna put yourself in the discussion or are you gonna make a coach’s hard decision very easy ? Time is ticking but you have choices! Winter is coming

BLUE DIVISION - BOYS: Trinity (NH) - 73 North Andover (MA) - 64

BLUE DIVISION - BOYS: Newton North (MA) - 79 North Andover (MA) - 52

The GREATEST sports parents are those who let the coaches coach, the officials officiate, are their children’s biggest support system, and spend more time and energy focusing on their child’s character, work ethic, and education, than anything else. ~from @CoachKurtHines

7 Common Mistakes New Coaches Make. 1. Obsess over X’s and O’s. 2. Over-promise playing time. 3. Not address issues head-on. 4. Not clearly defining team roles. 5. Do not focus on building culture. 6. Avoid communicating w/parents. 7. Worry about making others happy.

Youth basketball coaches will spend every practice going over set plays and then wonder why their kids aren’t skilled or good at reading the defense

I can’t help but think the music playlist at last nights Reggie Rumble was meant for aging dinosaurs like me and ref @rjnref Most people in the gym weren’t alive when those songs were huge 🤣🤣🤣🤣

As someone that has run off season leagues for decades I want to shout out Stevie Martinez @StevieM978 for how he is growing the Reggie Rumble. Most don’t understand the time, passion & commitment it takes to do this. It’s always for the kids! Thank u Stevie

Never surround yourself with people who only say what you WANT to hear. Surround yourself with people that tell you what you NEED to hear

Best part of my Thursday night conversations at the Reggie Rumble with @hooppilgrim is the myriad of topics we discuss. Appreciate you Charlie
