Came across this and had to share it with everyone. Let me know your thoughts. 

I have my own thoughts but would love to hear your comments and opinions as many of you are living in this world.

The Ratings Game

So summer is officially over, players are taking visits and coaches are convinced they have the fool-proof plan to prepare their team for a winning season. Time will tell as the new season is right around the corner. Each morning that you wake up to fresh dew and fog know that basketball season is that much closer. I know quite a few of you are serious about the season because you took the first step by getting your SPARQ Ratings. I'm coming out to test many more of you in the next couple of weeks so if you haven't been tested and you would like to be tested please contact me so that we can arrange for you to get your SPARQ Rating. For those who have already tested I am submitting all your scores, look out for your email from SPARQ. The most exciting day so far had to be when a coach came all the way from Chapel Hill and witnessed first hand the best athlete to test so far. He even went so far as to tell a story about a skinny freshman whose vertical jump he measured back in 81-82...When he told me it was a 34 we both laughed and agreed that anyone boasting a 40 inch vertical would have to let us witness it first hand before we actually believed it. If you got it, I want to see it so let me come out and test you to find out. Before I go any further, I have to take a moment to recognize a few individuals:

Best Athlete So Far:

34 Inch Vertical, 10.75 Lane Agility, 3.15 3/4 Court Sprint, 85 Multi-Stage Hurdle



Most Spirited Team:

Columbia Boy's Basketball




Best Full Team Participation:




Ok so you heard the stories, you see the fun what are you waiting for? Don't do it for me, don't do it for you, do it for your athletes who need to be measured in order to benchmark where they are against their national competition. If you don't test, you can't compare if you don't compare than you can't compete. If we both are good players the coach is going to take the better athlete every time.

Not to say I told you so but......


These tests do kind of matter if you are interested in going to that next level.
