COACH IVAN
COACHING
PHILOSOPHY:
There is no replacement for hard work. Hard work will get you everywhere in basketball and in life in general. The work you put in on the court when no one is watching will give you the confidence you need to compete with anyone when everyone is watching. Confidence is extremely important because if you don't believe in yourself, then who will.
