St. Anthony Analysis
“‘We're all going to keep working and getting better, because we have the formula right here”’ (Wojnarowski 180). This quote shows Bob Hurley’s simplistic formula for winning; work hard, win games. This connects to the Xaverian value of simplicity because as described by St. John's Prep, “Simplicity call us to be fully present in all we do… and embrace the infinite potential of every person...” St. Anthony players have to be “fully present” as they work hard in Bob Hurley’s practices and “embrace their full potential” as basketball players as well as people.

    Practice and Feedback Methods to Improve Performance of Basketball Layups

    Basketball is a game which requires a broad range of skills (See Appendix 1) in order to perform at a high standard (See Appendix 2 for characteristics of skilled performers) (Bach 2011). The game of basketball provides a singular opportunity to study the perception of skilled performance, since fans, coaches, athletes, and announcers all consider streaks to be a factual part of the game (Psychonomic Society 1995). A skilled performer demonstrates characteristics and abilities which allows them to perform consistently at a very high level. A skilled performer is often stronger, more flexible, better coordinated, balanced and fitter than unskilled performers. They are able to perceive, decide and act in a manner that is efficient in terms of both energy and time (HSC 2011).…

    Great Basketball Coach

    One of the reasons John Wooden was successful as a basketball coach was because he was the best teacher at the sport and taught his players life skills. He didn’t win ten national championships because he had talent. He won because he taught fundamentals and basic basketball. He instilled in his players that fundamentals is the key to success. To this day his players still use what he taught them and take that with them as they move on with their lives. He was a coach and a father to the players. He always compared how life was like basketball and the players understood what he…

The rules and expectations of this particular institution were that if we could work as hard as the boys, we could eventually be as good as the boys. My team was strong and extremely competitive, and certain values were instilled in us by our coaches at a young age. Being resilient to injury, maintaining a competitive attitude against teammates and opponents, and…
