[TheVincedagreat]

Ouchh... Deep lol.. You nailed it coach we need more Alan Steins Imma kidnap you and clone you lol

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@TheVincedagreat Thanks, I appreciate you! However, I didn't come up with the Play Present concept... I learned it from a colleague.... but now I preach it!

[TheVincedagreat]

@StrongerTeamDotCom Doesnt matter coach the way you speak opens up eyes and hearts and that is just as important. What good is a concept when people cannot understand fully and use em right? :D

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@TheVincedagreat I appreciate you :)

[Infraverse]

Coach, I appreciate your speech, but now I know what to do, the problem is the HOW? I don't know how to apply it, I mean, I can't focus, I'm always thinking about things I can't control, HOW?

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@Infraverse YOU have to figure out the HOW... YOU control EVERY thought you have!

[MillerCard2014]

does the camera man have parkinsons? lol

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@MillerCard2014 OMG... as 'wrong' as that is... too funny :)

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@leoavramov Gracias amigo!

[CoachErnieClark]

I was there in, person, during this speech...and loved it! This is one of the most frustrating things about coaching and its nice for kids to hear it from someone like Coach Stein! The higher level our kids play, the less time we have to waste on thinking bout the past or over-thinking the future. Effort and Attitude, control it.

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@CoachErnieClark Thanks coach, I appreciate YOU!

[davidwilliams75]

I had the pleasure to hear this live in Richfield, MN with my son. I hope he was at least half as inspired as I was. Glad to relive it through this video (from a different location). I wish I had it on my ipod to play on the way to practice and games.

Letting go of the past and present is not just a solid approach in basketball, but a great approach in all areas of life. I try to focus only on what I can control, since trying to control things outside of my influence drives me insane!

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@davidwilliams75 Thanks, I really and truly appreciate your support.

[TheMsmit09]

This talk is great! I truly shows mental toughness. This can be interperated for any spor, whether football, or baseball, or basketball. Great words coach!!

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@TheMsmit09 Thanks, I really appreciate your support!

[M5Diaz]

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@andno23 Wow, thanks! I am honored to help!

[travisfoster7]

As usual, great stuff coach. Thanks for all you for those of us who work with athletes!

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@travisfoster7 Thanks, I really appreciate your kind words and am honored to help.

[BaLLeRAl05]

This is such a great video. Playing present is such a important key to mental toughness. But I have heard/found that there are other critical factors that contribute to dominating games and harnessing your full mental capabilities. Could you do some more videos on mental toughness because i feel that it is something that holds me back dramatically from playing at my full potential--especially seeing though i know i can play better because i am consistently on the court working on my game.

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@BaLLeRAl05 I appreciate your feedback. Feel free to check out the archive at Blog dot Stronger Team dot com for additional info on mental toughness and playing present...

[lsfii]

This is a great concept for youth players to help them become better not just in basketball but in life. I hope to relay the same theory to my boys at our first practice.

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@lsfii I appreciate your support!

[only1nabil]

great speech - well done

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@only1nabil Thank YOU!

[Infraverse]

Wow.. My God.. I've never thought anyone knew how I really felt in games, This might be my problem. I get all my attention to the surroundings and keep playing in the past. I'm shocked. Thank You man, you are really a great person and you know what you are talking about! StrongerTeamcom may be the best thing that has happened to me!

[StrongerTeamDotCom]

@Infraverse Thanks for your feedback, I am honored to help...

[rodrigouribe15]
