PDMentality is about building a purposeful “mentality” that starts within and is built through each practice, class and habitual repetition. A mentality is a mind-set or attitude. In building your mentality internally it will allow you to overcome the obstacles internally and externally of basketball, at school and throughout all aspects of your life.

This what makes them stand out, and has pushed them to become the players they are today. It took dedication to themselves and practice, dedication being a key component of building a mentality. A mentality doesn’t only have to be formed in basketball, it can come from other aspects of your life and build towards shaping your overall mindset. These skills become transferable throughout the other aspects of you life and future goals once you begin shaping a healthy mentality.
