A bit of psychology

Sports psychologist Nicole Lavoi gives us some perspective on Notre Dame point guard Skylar Diggins’ headband. Diggins will leave the headband on if she feels she’s playing well, and take it off if she’s disappointed in her own play. Lavoi says Diggins might want to be more consistent with these practices……interesting.

On another psychological/language/semantics note, UConn Coach Geno Auriemma reflects my perspective: “I don’t coach women - I coach basketball players.” Bravo.

On the high school tip, the April viewing period is just around the corner! I will be taking a brief rest after the Final Four before hitting the circuit. Here’s the top 60 in the class of 2013 - some of whom I will see play next month.
