Focus on what you can control — your effort, your attention, your attitude. Not the scoreboard, not what the coach thinks, not whether you made the team.

1.Court Vision — Can you see the play before it happens? Elite point guards find open teammates others don't even notice. 2.Decision Making — Do you make the right play at the right time? Coaches want someone who rarely forces things. 3.Ball Handling Under Pressure — Anyone can dribble in an open gym. Can you handle full court pressure and tight defense? 4.Leadership & Communication — You're the extension of the coach on the floor. Are you vocal, composed, and trusted by your teammates? 5.Pick and Roll IQ — How you navigate the pick and roll on both ends tells coaches a lot about your basketball IQ. 6.Ability to Get Others Involved — Coaches love point guards who make their teammates better and keep everyone engaged. 7.Defense & Effort — Too many point guards neglect this. Coaches notice who guards up and who takes plays off. 8.Pace & Tempo Control — Can you speed the game up and slow it down when needed? Controlling the game's rhythm is a rare skill. 9.Mid Range & Three Point Shooting — You have to be able to shoot. Defenders have to respect your shot or they'll sag off and take away your passing lanes. 10.Composure in Big Moments — When the game is on the line, does your point guard want the ball or shy away? Coaches build their team around players they trust when it matters most.

The toughest opponent you'll ever face is the voice in your head telling you to stop. Learn to coach that voice. — Coach KDP
