The X Factor
Vision
The Legacy
Basketball Association was established not only to develop the basketball
skills of our youth, because we all know that Basketball, well, it's just
a game. Basketball, this game that we all love so much, does more than
train us how to make a lay-up, chest pass or jump shot. Basketball does
more than teach us how to break a press or beat a 2-3 zone. Basketball in
its truest form is the ultimate source to teach our youth LIFE SKILLS.
LIFE SKILLS that include conflict resolution (how to overcome bad
officiating); performing under pressure (competing against a superior
opponent); and sportsmanship (conducting ourselves by observing the
rules of fair and honest play, respect for others and exercising
graciousness whether we win or lose).
Most
organizations, whether its a youth sports program or a Fortune 500 company
lose site and focus when their main purpose is winning at all cost, (THIS
IS NOT THE X FACTOR WAY). Our philosophy and what we focus on is concerned
more about how we win and how we lose. The success of this organization is
not based on how many games we win or how many games we lose. Our success
in based on how prepared we are for the competition, the game just happens
to determines the outcome.
Winning is a good
thing, and we've been pretty successful at it. But, its taken a lot of
hard work by each and every person that suits up. THE X FACTOR WAY, cares
just as much about how our youth perform off the court as they do on the
court. We have a no grades no play rule and it will be enforced with no
exceptions.
The X Factor Way
places more emphasizes on the whole or complete person. Our organizational
motto is: "building character, mind, body and
spirit" and its a must that we strive to achieve this goal
in practice, in games and in our LIVES.
“I would rather coach a team with players having minimal
basketball skills who are respectful and decent young men and women that
give me 100% of what they have, than a team with exceptional basketball
players who are disrespectful and un-coachable.
By becoming a
member of the Legacy Basketball Association you'll be joining a family. I
have a huge family on both my mother and fathers side. And just as I will
do anything in my power for them, I will do the same for you. If you give
me 100% of what you got, I'll give you 100% of what I got just as if you
were my own.
When the day is
done and we've practiced hard, played hard and competed fairly the outcome
of any game can't compare to the feeling of doing things TOGETHER.
