[Music Playing] Skill areas, what is inevitably the number area? You have to have a good shooting touch. You have to have dribbling ball handling skills. In the open court, at last have a concept of what to do; bringing the ball as a point guard, you have to have scoring moves. I am talking about perimeter moves going to the basket. You have to have post up moves. You have to have rebounding skills. You have to have advanced defensive skills. I am talking about Level Two. You have to have good passing skills. You have to have great conditioning skills because you are setting the tone physically. And that means getting stronger. You can always get stronger; you can weight train or strength train two different ways. You can strength train the bulk up which will make you stronger or you can strength train to get more endurance by doing lighter weights and higher ups if you are already big enough. So you have to know which area you need to do but either area will make you stronger. It will also make you quicker and faster. You guys realize that? Strength training is a number way to get faster and quicker. Why? Because you are putting a Chevy 350 engine into you goes of what you are doing. Do you understand? You take a big engine, put it on horse power under the hood and your body can put it into a different core. That is what you are doing. Strength training puts more horse power into the hood. It will make you faster. I guarantee it. Unlike our point guard or our shooting guard and also unlike the power four in the center, you have a lot more to work on don’t you? So, we are talking about a very dedicated basketball player if you are going to play the three. Not just basketball skills, not just athletic but also mental. We are talking about a complete basketball player. The small forward was designed to be the ultimate basketball approach, in my opinion. And if you want that position, you need to take responsibility for it. To me, this is the most special position on the entire team because you are the utility guy, you can do it all.
