I’D LIKE TO THANK RYAN BISIO WHO IS THE HEAD COACH FOR THE COLLEGE OF THE REDWOODS CORSAIRS IN EUREKA, CALIFORNIA IN THE GOLDEN VALLEY CONFERENCE IN CCCAA IN JUCO BASKETBALL FOR SHARING ADVICE WITH THE CANNON NETWORK. HE SHARED, “(1.) BE YOURSELF- SHOW YOUR PEOPLE WHO YOU REALLY ARE.  ALLOW FULL RANGE OF YOUR OWN EXPRESSION AND PERSPECTIVE AND WHATEVER VISION YOU HOPE TO INSPIRE.  EMBRACE THE ENVIRONMENT WHERE THIS TYPE OF VULNERABILITY IS CELEBRATED.  (2.) HONOR THE GAME- ULTIMATELY, MOST OF US WHO ARE HERE HAVE TAKEN A LOT FROM THE GAME.  THE GAME HAS CENTERED OUR LIVES.  THE GAME HAS BROUGHT US ALL TOGETHER.  SERVICE THE GAME.  BE HUMBLE IN ITS PRESENCE AND ENTHUSIASTIC TO ENGAGE IN ITS HIGHEST IDEALS.  (3.) COACH THE HUMAN- SEEK DEPTH AND COMMITMENT IN ALL RELATIONSHIPS.  DO WHATEVER POSSIBLE TO CREATE TRUST.  LEAD EACH INDIVIDUAL TOWARDS PERSONAL GROWTH.  THROUGH ACTIONS AND WORDS, CONSTANTLY REMIND PLAYERS THAT YOU LOVE THEM UNCONDITIONALLY AS PEOPLE.  (4.) THE GAME IS MUSICAL – BASKETBALL CAN BE TAUGHT, PLAYED, AND OBSERVED WITH MUSICAL TERMINOLOGY.  FEEL AND LISTEN INTENTLY TO THE RHYTHM AND TEMPO OF PLAY.  CREATE HARMONY WITH PERSONNEL COMBINATIONS.  ASSERT SUPERIOR TONE.  REHEARSE LIKE A 5-PIECE BAND.  (5.) HAVE FUN – THE HEART OF THE GAME GRAVITATES TOWARDS THOSE WHO TREAT IT WITH MAXIMUM JOY.  KEEP PERSPECTIVE AND LET IT RIP.  THE TEAM THAT IS HAVING THE MOST FUN WINS MOST NIGHTS.  CULTIVATE A HABITAT WHERE JOY FOR THE GAME RUNS RAMPANT.”
