The Missing Ingredient
Of this year's Wolfpack basketball team, Julius Hodge says "Believe it or not, I really believe this year's team is special." (via ACC Hoops)
Julius, Julius, Julius. One thing all special teams have is a mature, capable leader. Despite what you think, you are not that leader.
A leader recognizes that some nights he is the man. Some nights he is not.
A leader recognizes that often his best contribution is to draw defenders to himself, then give up the ball.
A leader models appropriate behavior on the court, even when frustrated.
A leader never gives a forearm shiver to the back of an opponent's head.
A leader does not hit an opponent in the face with the ball.
