🔥 How to Get Noticed by Coaches (When You’re Not 6'7")

Not every player is born with 6'7" height, elite athletic ability, or lights-out shooting out of the gate. But if you think physical gifts are the only way to catch a coach’s eye, PGC Basketball CEO Mano Watsa drops a powerful truth every athlete needs to internalize:

"Effort is a skill—and it’s a choice."

💡 Why Hustle is Your Greatest Competitive Advantage

Talent Opens Doors, Effort Keeps You There: High-level height and natural scoring get initial attention, but most players fall into the "undersized and still developing" category.

Easier to Master Than Any Skill: Developing elite ball-handling or 40% three-point shooting takes thousands of reps over years. Making a high-effort play requires zero physical talent—it only takes a decision.

Coaches Notice What Stand Out: Every good coach actively looks for the athlete who out-hustles, communicates, and consistently out-works everyone else on the floor.

🏀 The Takeaway for Players

Stop making excuses for what you don't have—your size, your jump shot, or your athleticism. Focus on the one thing you can control 100% of the time: your effort.

Make out-hustling everyone else your signature move.
