I enjoy Teaching at Clinics yet I see something worrying

Modern basketball has convinced many young bigs that they should play like guards.

Shooting and ball handling are important skills, but basketball is still about advantages.

If you are bigger than your defender:

• Seal.
• Post up.
• Demand the ball.
• Score.

There is nothing old-fashioned about taking high-percentage shots.

Develop guard skills, absolutely. But never ignore the advantages your size gives you.

The game rewards players who understand who they are.

Never apologize for being bigger , stronger and more physical than your opponents.

Defence Wins Championships 🏆

Its been 2 weeks now with the Eagles League on a break,where I am working with the Basketball Buddies program, and one thing standa out clearly: basketball development is not built on tournaments alone it is built on consistent participation.

When dozens of young athletes are consistently exposed to quality coaching, structured competition, and a positive environment, the immediate results may not always be visible. The wins, elite players, national team athletes, and future coaches often emerge years later.

That is the challenge and opportunity for African basketball.

Too often, we focus on short term outcomes. Real development requires patience, sustained investment, and a commitment to creating opportunities for as many young people as possible to engage with the game.

The countries and programs that dominate basketball today are benefiting from investments made years, sometimes decades, ago. Africa's future basketball success will be no different.

The players in this video may not all become professionals, but the habits, confidence, friendships, and love for the game they are developing today are laying the foundation for the future of our sport.

The results will take time.
But if we keep investing in participation, coaching, and development, they will come.
