PRINCIPLES of DEVELOPMENT
DON’T JUST SET GOALS…MAKE DEALS!!!
Fulfilling personal goals is often undervalued compared to honoring commitments made to others. Many individuals tend to prioritize the promises they make to others over their own aspirations, leading to missed opportunities and a cycle of disappointment. It is crucial to recognize and uphold the importance of your goals by treating them as DEALS that you make with yourself. By establishing DEALS with yourself, you can enhance your integrity and motivation, ultimately paving the way for success in achieving what you desire.
“YOU CAN RUN A SPRINT OR YOU CAN PACE A MARATHON, BUT YOU CAN’T SPRINT A MARATHON…AND YOU CAN’T PACE A SPRINT”
Everyone has a timeline for achieving their dreams, but is this a rational sprint? Are you competing in a 400 meter dash when your journey is truly a marathon? Your path is determined by your unique abilities and strengths; you don’t select the race, rather the race selects you, unless…
WHICH RACE SHOULD YOU BE RUNNING?”

personal development
Although the following four principles are basketball focused, personal development does not have to be focused on basketball but allow players to participate in basketball by teaching them how to be successful in the classroom, building personal confidence, teach players how to lead, learning how to extend their careers and finally how to transition to their next endeavor once playing basketball comes to and end. Player should not only see change in their basketball game but basketball should teach them how to be successful in life. We understand the significance of off-court growth, which is as vital as your on-court progress. As a basketball player, your development extends beyond technical abilities and encompasses essential traits like character, leadership, and resilience. Throughout your journey, it is imperative to acknowledge how your strengths both on and off the court contribute to your success in life. One way players make this connection is by exploring various topics and researching significant figures relevant to their race, enabling them to accelerate their overall development effectively.

spiritual DEVELOPMENT
We recognize that spiritual beliefs vary among individuals, but Lets Fly Together emphasizes the positive impact of following Christ and how nurturing a relationship with Him can strengthen your mental well-being and resilience. By understanding the purpose God has for us and learning to walk within that purpose, we can feel assured that God supports and protects us through any challenges we may face. As your relationship grows with Christ, the more confidence you will gain in dominating your race.
MENTAL CONDITIONING
Your mental health plays a critical role in unlocking your true potential. Just as you train your body, conditioning your mind is equally essential in overcoming life’s challenges. Reap the rewards of a strong and resilient mind, capable of conquering any adversity that comes your way.
