Discipline Wins: A Lesson from Luka Dončić’s Offseason

But like many of you, we paid close attention to what he did this summer—and there’s a powerful lesson every serious basketball player can take away.

Luka didn’t just work out this offseason. He built discipline.

He trained twice a day.

He fasted in the mornings.

He stuck to a high-protein, low-sugar, gluten-free diet for months.

Not because someone made him—but because he wanted to be great.

No shortcuts. No hype. No excuses.

Being great isn’t just about what you do on the court.

It’s about what you commit to off of it.

Your meals.

Your rest.

Your routines.

Your mindset.

These are the habits that build a stronger body, sharper skills, and greater confidence when it’s time to play.

Luka was already elite. But he wanted to be better. And he understood that being better takes more than showing up—it takes showing up with intention, over and over again.

You don’t need to be Luka Dončić.

But you can learn from him, just like we are.

• Start building better habits outside of practice.
  
• Stay consistent when it’s not convenient.
  
• Think long-term, not just game-to-game.
  
• Choose the harder right over the easier wrong.
  

Discipline isn’t something you’re born with.

It’s something you build—one choice at a time.

At EYG, we care deeply about helping players become their best—on and off the court. That’s why our training is built around more than just drills. We help players:

• Train with structure and purpose
  
• Build consistent habits
  
• Get feedback and guidance from experienced coaches
  
• Learn how to carry their off-court discipline into their game
  

But we’re learning from his story—and using it to challenge every player we coach to show up differently.
