As a teacher with 20 yrs. experience and a former coach, I can tell you that kids attitudes have changed quite a bit over the last 10 years. Kids do not want to be disciplined and their parents do not want them disciplined. Everything is supposed to be "fun". Kids need to realize that everything is not always going to be fun. School is not always going to be fun. Basketball practice is not always going to be fun. To improve you must work hard, be dedicated, respond to crititism in a positive way, and if things do not always go your way accept it. It is to easy for someone to blame someone else. It is to easy to say I quit. A former coach of mine often told us that practice was work it wasn't fun; Winning was fun
