Hey hoopers, Quote of the day: âIf you donât know who youâre chasing, youâre probably standing still.â Quick question: Do you actually know who you need to beat to get where you want to go? Most players say they want more minutes. A bigger role. The next level. But theyâve never clearly identified whoâs in their way. Hereâs the truth: You donât rise by accident. You rise by outcompeting specific people. Thatâs where the idea of a kill list comes in. Not disrespect. Not hate. Just clarity. A kill list is simple: Itâs the list of players you need to beat to get the minutes, role, or level you want. And there are three steps most players mess up. Step 1: Hunt Study the players ahead of you. What do they do well? Where are they weak? What does the coach trust them with? Most players skip this step. They just âwork hardâ without direction. Step 2: Kill This is where the work gets intentional. You donât train everything. You train what helps you beat them. If theyâre a better defender, you raise your defensive level. If theyâre stronger, you get stronger. If theyâre more consistent, you eliminate mistakes. This is where separation happens. Step 3: Eat This is the lesson most players miss. When opportunity comes⌠When minutes increase⌠When you have a good stretch of games⌠You donât get comfortable. Most players eat first. They get full on small success. Then they coast. Great players eat last. They stay hungry even after they get what they wanted. Hereâs the simple version: Hunt with intention. Kill with discipline. Eat only after the job is done. If you donât know who youâre chasing, youâre training blind.
