Introduction

Welcome to S.T.E.A.K. Player Development. The site dedicated to helping Teams find success, by helping individuals take responsibility for their own development in the areas that matter.

Skills

“The minute you get away from fundamentals – whether its proper technique, work ethic or mental preparation – the bottom can fall out of your game, your schoolwork, your job, whatever you’re doing.”

~ Michael Jordan

Developing the proper Skills for anything you do in life is important and sports help bring visibility to that even more. A player who focuses on building their skills everyday will far out perform one who does not.

TeamWork

"With hard work and effort, you can achieve anything." ~ Antoine Griezmann

"Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come." ~ Dwayne Johnson

Ability

Ability is often misunderstood, but for this site, it is about developing your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual abilities to lead to greater success. You must take time to work on these areas if you want to find true success.

"Achievers have an enabling attitude, realism, and a conviction that they themselves were the laboratory of innovation. Their ability to change themselves is central to their success. They have learned to conserve their energy by minimizing the time spent in regret or complaint. Every event is a lesson to them, every person a teacher."

~ Marilyn Ferguson

Knowledge

"Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence."

~ Abigail Adams

Knowledge in sports can be tricky, but the key is to develop a players knowledge to the point that they consistently make the best choice possible in games. This will require learning concepts and principles of the game in the beginning, but ultimately, apply those concepts and principles when it matters the most.
