I love mic’d up videos. I came across this video of Travis Konecny and think this is one of the best I’ve seen. You get a great look at why he is a highly thought-of player.
Notice in the video below, he:
brings joy with him and the energy!
is super positive all the way through and shows excitement for teammates.
helps his teammates with short and easy phrases (“Hey, I’m coming high!”)
connects with teammates and leads by pointing the finger at himself… “I gotta be more on my toes there, Frosty.”
protects his teammates even from the bench… “Heads (up)!!!”
Next time you’re at a game, notice the communication levels and topics. Players should be constantly communicating and doing it effectively, like Konecny.
