Where to follow Hoops U...

If you pay attention to this Hoops U. Blog for any updates, news, articles, or for the 'Thought of the Day', I am going to share with you other places to 'follow' HoopsU.com! Because I don't really 'blog' in this space, I will be eliminating this page sometime in the future. I may blog from other places, but I really just needed one less place to feel like I have to update! For all that is Hoops U, check the links below:

As always, you can see what's happening and new at Hoops U. by going to www.HoopsU.com!

For the 'Thought of the Day' as well as real-time updates and more, follow HoopsU via Twitter at http://twitter.com/HoopsU

If you are on Facebook, you can become a fan at the HoopsU.com fan page.

If you don't utilize Twitter or Facebook, sign up for the FREE Hoops U. Newsletter, 'Inside the Rim'. I send out newsletters with updates, additions, and more. From time to time, I also give special 'newsletter subscriber' bonuses.

Also, don't forget the all-new members-only www.HoopsUInsider.com! Check out the 'Insider' to see all the fantastic things you get as a member -- beyond the daily/weekly Playbook X and O additions!!

There also may be a 'new' blog or two showing up via the Insider site; and those would be accessible to anyone, even non-members!

Thought of the Day :: Failure and the Street

This quote comes right out of the trailer for a new a documentary about Coach Bob Hurley and his St. Anthony team. Be sure to check out the link below the quote to watch the trailer. Hopefully it will be released soon!

"I seem more annoyed at your failure than you do." -- Bob Hurley, Sr.


We certainly don't need to fake our attitude, but he's not alone these days in feeling that a lot of kids (and people) are not irritated when they fail. Don't let failures and mistakes keep you down, but don't be indifferent about it!
