    Ok Anya, here's a bunch:
    Do hustle
    Do listen to your coach - no talking, look at the coach, pay attention
    Do hustle
    Do be encouraging and supportive of your teammates
    Do hustle
    Do work hard
    Do Hustle ( are you seeing a pattern here? )
    Do learn the rules
    Do learn the plays and coverages
    Do watch the opposing players setup to know where they are going with the ball
    Do use three hits
    Do run your drills over and over and over, until the movements are automatic, then run them some more.
    Do be the first in to play
    Do be the first one in when the coach calls
    Do be a positive influence for the team
    Do be aggressive - I never heard of a coach that is upset with aggressive play

    Don't get down on your self or your teammates after a mistake - use it to learn
    Don't ever give up - down 23 - 10 in a 25 point game? - Time to make a 15pt run
    Don't be a distraction at practice - stay focused and use all of your time to get better
    Don't be late - be early and use that time to question your coach on how to improve
    Don't whine about playing time - work harder and get better
    Don't be the first to play around
    Don't play around at all, except at break
    Don't be mouthy - be quiet when the coach is talking

    Remember that the coach can teach you plays and technique, but he can only ask for good attitude and aggressiveness. You have to provide that.

    That's enough for today. Notice that there are more dos than don'ts and the don'ts are all mental. While the dos are both mental and physical. Follow these dos and don'ts and your coach will never complain about your effort.

    1. I'd add a couple things, but this is a great list.
      Do be a student of the game. Learn from the best.
      Do think ahead. Play three seconds in the future, so you're ready when you need to react.
      Don't resist change. This game constantly changes and different coaches want different things.
      Do make changes to improve for appease your coach. Know why you're doing what you are asked.

      I'm sure there are more, but these are a start.
