Message: [QUOTE="Jmsdawg, post: 3136194, member: 9243"] I have always felt BBall was a game of confidence, there were times when I played when I just could not miss and I knew the ball was going in the net, however for me those games did not occur often. Most of the kids that make a college team were great in HS and probably went into the college game believing in themselves. However, the talent level at college is much better and if the player has problems they can end up on the bench. The bench can be a motivator for some, they want to play so they work hard to make it happen, but it can also work the other way, you may feel you are just not good enough to play and the desire goes away. That is a dilemma for a coach, how can you get that kid to regain confidence and desire so they are playing up to their ability? Great coaches are great motivators! [/QUOTE]
