1. MAGGETTE BASKETBALL
Educate – Motivate - Inspire

2. Our founder, Corey Maggette, learned a long time
ago from the greatest college basketball coach in
the world, what it takes to build a program for
young basketball players.

3. Competing against the greatest players in the world,
throughout a 15 year NBA career, Corey learned
how to hold himself accountable, work hard and
maintain the motivation needed to reach his full
potential.

4. As a Maggette Basketball player, you are the
beneficiary of all this knowledge and wisdom. It is
yours for the taking. Now we want to share with
you Corey’s core principles that make us who we
are:

5. #1. Create a culture of greatness.
Expect nothing but the best from yourself, your
coaches and teammates.

6. #2. Earn your place.
Nothing in life is guaranteed. Be prepared to be
challenged every time you step on the court.

7. #3. Be accountable.
You are responsible for yourself. Don’t worry
about things outside of your control.

8. #4. Hard work is an art.
Find joy in getting better. Love the details of the
game. Use effort to kill apathy.

9. #5. Find your motivation.
What motivates you? Figure that out. Use it to
become unstoppable.

10. #6. “I can do all things…”
Be disciplined. Find a higher purpose. Sacrifice
petty selfishness for something greater.

11. #7. Challenge yourself every day.
Always get better by finding ways to test yourself.
Don’t waste time being the same player day after
day.

12. #8. Work on your weaknesses.
Don’t fall into the trap of only doing the things you are
good at. Avoid becoming a one-dimensional player.

13. #9. Practicing hard makes everything easier.
The harder you practice, the easier the games will
be. If you push yourself now it will pay off later.

14. #10. Be a competitor.
Players who compete, play at both ends of the floor.
They never take plays off. And they always find an
edge.

15. #11. Be a great teammate.
Be unselfish. Make other players better. Be
someone who is fun to play with and a joy to be
around.

16. #12. Be positive.
Be a light in the darkness. Things will go wrong.
Help provide solutions. Lift your teammates up.
