At the 2009 Pump Coaching Clinic, Jerry West was asked his response when a player asks what can I do to play?"Kick the guys ass you are going against in practice."
Also:
"No mental mistakes."
"Stay after and communicate with coach."
"No mental mistakes."
"Stay after and communicate with coach."
His response to how he prepared to be "Mr. Clutch?"
His best friend in West Virginia was him… He practiced all the time by himself envisioning that his team was down 1 w/ 2 seconds to go.
Never be afraid to fail but if he did miss that shot, the next day he was back on the court practicing shooting.
