Everybody wants a bigger role. But coaches don't give minutes to the players who want them most. They give minutes to the players who solve problems.

Ask, "What does my team need that I could become great at providing?"

PGC founder Dick DeVenzio said it plainly: every coach plays favorites, so "find out what the coach favors and do that. Be one of the coach's favorites." It usually isn't a secret. Ask, then deliver.

Rebounding. Defense. Knocking down the open three. Taking care of the ball. Find the problem, then become the answer.

Become useful. Then become reliable. Then become hard to take off the floor.
