When there are too many teams, the elite kids are spread thin instead of being pushed together.
And when the best players aren’t playing with and against the best, development suffers.
Iron sharpens iron.
Comfort sharpens nothing.
The fastest way to get better at basketball has always been the same:
• Play with players who challenge you
• Compete against players who expose your weaknesses
• Be forced to adjust, think, and execute at a higher level
Too many teams create false confidence, inflated roles, and trophies that don’t translate.
Not every kid needs an “elite” jersey.
Every kid needs elite competition.
Real growth happens when:
• Minutes are earned, not guaranteed
• Roles are defined, not promised
• Winning requires ex*****on, not talent alone
