Panthers on the road this weekend !🐾🔴

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on consistency being a muscle you can grow, what discipline is, and why you can't only have it in times of prosperity: 💪 Consistency isn’t a trait you’re born with, it’s a muscle you build. Every time you follow through when it’s inconvenient, you add another rep. The strength doesn't show up until at some point in the future, but it’s earned in the now. 😁 Anyone can be consistent in times of prosperity. The real separator is doing the work when motivation disappears. That’s where identity is truly formed, you find out who you are, not in the spotlight, but in the resistance. 📌 Discipline is doing what matters most when you least feel like acting on it. If you only rely on consistency in good times, it becomes a crutch. If you train it in hard times, it becomes a competitive advantage. Champions aren’t determined by flashes of greatness, but by how RARELY they drift below their standard of success. They don’t use the consistency muscle in a reactionary way, instead they train it daily so the habit of success has somewhere to live. 🏠

Confidence comes from work. If you only touch a basketball in November, or once a week, your confidence isn’t real. It’s fragile. It can be taken by a coach, a crowd, or a better opponent in seconds. Real confidence shows up when you’ve put in the work daily. When you’ve already seen it, felt it, and done it over and over.

Never go to sleep without saying these four things to God:

Laila Battle’s historic 2025-26 season has earned her CCS Player an Defensive Player of the Year! Congratulations 🎉

1️⃣ on 1️⃣ & 2️⃣ on 2️⃣ Closeouts Part One - 1 v 1 Offensive player must get inside the FT line before making the pass. Defender must touch below the VB line/Charge Circle. Offense focuses on passing and relocating quickly. Ball is live once the offense gets it back. Part Two - 2 v 2 A second set of players starts high is sprints towards the corner on the initial attack. Once the offense gets the ball back it is live 2 v 2. Defense needs to be aware that they have help to only one side and should push the offensive player in that direction.
