Summer Success

What is Success?

“Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”  John Wooden 1910-2010

Being part of a basketball team can bring both public and private success.  Public success is the team record and your individual statistics.  Public success is seen by everyone and is not as important as private success.  Private success is doing your best everyday to improve yourself as a person and a player.  Private success in basketball will carry over into success in the classroom and your life.

I have enclosed information about a summer camp that can be part of a summer plan that can help bring positive growth in your development as a basketball player.  Please consider participating in the North Star camp and passing the form on to other basketball players that you may think are interested.

Off-Season Work Levels:

Level 1 Participate in a spring and/or fall sport, lift, run and shoot

Level 2 Participate in a spring or fall sport, lift, run, shoot, league

Level 3 Participate in another sport, lift, run, shoot, league and a

              Basketball Camp

Level 4 Participate in another sport, lift, run, shoot, league, a camp     

              and play in another league (10,000 hour theory of success).

If all you did all summer was every other day: run two miles, shoot 100 free throws, took 200 pressure shots and had a lifting program: we will be a better basketball team!!!

Have a Great Summer and Stay Safe,

Coach Tarkowski
