We have built a unique basketball culture here by demanding TRUST! Please read more about our philosophy of TRUST below to see if you are going to be a good fit for Cornell basketball.
TRUST in yourself- In order to develop self trust (or self belief), you have to be disciplined  enough to force yourself to be uncomfortable in ways that make you stronger physically, mentally and emotionally.
TRUST in the System- Make a commitment to understand, perform and believe everything Cornell Basketball asks of you. We can not accomplish anything as a group, unless the group is unified in its purpose and plan.
TRUST you teammates- You have to believe your teammates will make good life decisions. You have to believe your teammates will make plays. If every team member builds self trust, and trusts the system, then trusting teammates is inevitable.  Any behavior counterproductive to self trust or our basketball system destroys your teammates trust.
Team Travel: An important part of our basketball culture is creating unique experiences for our players. In the process, we develop a bond that makes our program special. "We want our players to be exposed to different cultures and to grow as people by these experiences. We also want these trips to help our team come together," (Coach DeGeorge). View some pictures of recent trips below. Similar trips are planned for 2010 and 2012.

 A team picture at the Acropolis in Athens.  Post-game handshake after we defeated the Greek Professional Level 3 Champs!  The team relaxs as we cruise the Greek Isles.
