If you’re a High School Basketball player that wants to set yourself up for success in not just basketball, but for your future as you move forward in your athletic recruiting, college admissions or in college and beyond, you need to focus on growing your own personal network both in basketball and outside of basketball. Because your future is not just based on what you know, but also on who you know. Today I’m going to share 3 simple things you can do to grow your own personal network.

I get it, trying to form new meaningful relationships and growing your network as a teenager isn’t easy. For some of you it may come easier than for others, but if you’re anything like me, when I was in HS, I would rather do almost anything than start a conversation with an adult. For one I didn’t really understand the value of building a network back then and I wasn’t super confident. Oh I might have come off like I knew it all, but it’s like John Wooden said, “It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts” I wish someone would have shared these 3 simple steps with me back then. It would have had a huge impact on my basketball career, academic career and work career. So today I give them to you.

Welcome back to Hard Smart Together! I’m Coach Dave, I’m here every week to help basketball players become the smart, confident players that coaches love.

Hope you enjoy!
