While a combination of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation\/articles\/3-explosive-jumping-exercises-along-and-free-workouts-to-become-a-better-basketball-player\"> hard work<\/a>, practice and natural talent does go a long way in helping to develop a player, true greatness in basketball is achieved through developing the \u201cintangibles\u201d as well. The traits that aren\u2019t easily identifiable, but are the most important for reaching greatness in the sport. Here\u2019s what ten different CoachUp coaches listed as their one quality, more than any other, that makes basketball players great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Private basketball coaches share insight on the qualities that make a player great<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Awareness<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving a sense of awareness about the game. A player that understands that the game isn&#8217;t just about him\/her putting the ball in the basket is going to be a much better player than a player that averages 30 ppg and thinks that&#8217;s all that matters. &nbsp;About 80% of kids think the game is about them learning how to score and it\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaches\/adamj-5?utm_source=Nation&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=ArticleFooter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\">Adam J.<\/a>, Nashville, TN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strong Mind<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI believe a player with a strong mind has an advantage over any player, and if that player can put the rest together, they have the chance to become GREAT! The game is 70% mental and 30% skill. If you can focus and engage in every task that you have, you can become the best with a strong work ethic.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaches\/djl-3?utm_source=Nation&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=ArticleFooter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\">DJ L.<\/a>, Katy, TX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Desire to Get Better<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>I believe the \u00a0greatest quality any basketball player, or any athlete, needs to be great is an unwavering desire to get better. If a player has this quality, they will ALWAYS work hard and never be satisfied.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaches\/mattb-3?utm_source=Nation&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=ArticleFooter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\">Matt B.<\/a>, Fountain Valley, CA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Determination<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDetermination is a quality that cannot be substituted, taught, or faked and it has to boil up naturally from within. Determination, regardless of the outcome of the game, is easy to identify by any coach, player, or spectator.\u201d &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaches\/vittoc?utm_source=Nation&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=ArticleFooter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\">Vitto C.<\/a>, Miami, FL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Passionate<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne quality that makes a basketball player great is passion because if you are passionate about the sport then you will go to any length to be successful. Whether that is waking up early, training hard, eating properly, etc., your passion for the sport will make you push harder even when you want to quit.\u201d &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaches\/alanat?utm_source=Nation&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=ArticleFooter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\">Alana T.<\/a>, Tampa, FL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mentally Tough<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMentality. Basketball, as with many other sports, is a mental game more so than it is physical. Those who are mentally tough can push themselves through mentally and physically demanding tasks that arise in games and practices.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaches\/zachs-2?utm_source=Nation&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=ArticleFooter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\">Zach S.<\/a>, Santa Clara, CA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Being&nbsp;Coachable<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAre you coachable?\u201d Being coachable requires a set of characteristics and moral skills which allow the athlete to learn, be an effective listener and communicator in order to achieve their maximum potential. Think about developing the 4C&#8217;s: Character, Communication, Consistency and Coachability.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaches\/coachj?utm_source=Nation&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=ArticleFooter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\">Coach J.<\/a>, Baton Rouge, LA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Confidence<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne quality that a basketball player should have is confidence in their skills in game settings. Confidence that is there regardless of who they are playing, where they are playing, or what is happening in the game.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaches\/erikb-3?utm_source=Nation&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=ArticleFooter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\">Erik B.<\/a>, Golden, CO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will to Prepare to Win<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe will to win is great to have, but everybody has that. A great player must have the will to prepare to win. That will set great players apart from mediocre players.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaches\/allenc-2?utm_source=Nation&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=ArticleFooter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\">Allen C.<\/a>, Woodstock, NY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making Your Teammates Better<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ability to make their teammates better.
