Walk-on to sign book
By Kevin Bates Kansan sport writer
Lane Czaplski knows it's tough not being a star.
As a walk-on to the Kansas men's basketball team during the 1991-1992 season, Czaplinskd played with noted players like Rex Walters, Adonis Jordan and Steve Woodberry, but for most of the season he was on the sidelines.
Czaplinski used his perspective to write an instructional book to help young players further their basketball skills. Making the Basketball Team:
Get off the Bench and Into the Game concentrates on the physical and mental preparations needed to succeed at a competitive level.
"Most kids aren't phenomenal." Czaplinski said. "Most kids sit on the bench and don't get a lot of playing time. I wanted to show kids that they can use their head and heart to their advantage."
Czaplinski will sign copies of his book from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on Monday at the Mt. Oread Bookshop in the Kansas Union.
Dave Templin, director of applied sports psychology, said that many athletes do not have the right mind-set.
MOHRFELD
*Czapkinski's book gives insights that a high school athlete may not have.
"To be confident is to your benefit," Templin said. "You need to continuously focus on what you want to do and where you want to be. Focus on that, and there's no time to worry about your mistakes."
"I wanted to speak in an everyday tone to players," Czaplinski said. "I didn't want to talk down to the reader. I tried to use humor and show that the considerations you make in your head are what's important."

where Mohrfeld's presence can be felt.
"She leads by example everyday in practice," volleyball coach Karen Schonewise said. "She's a good player to have out there."
Mohrfeld is fourth in Kansas' history for career block assists with 213.
Besides working hard on the court, Mohrfeld also is dedicated in the classroom.
Mohfeld, a journalism major, was a first-team Phillips 66 Academic All-Big Eight pick last season.
"She works hard at school," Sennett said. "Anything anybody asks her to do she works hard at. It transfers onto the court.
Mohrenfeld said that not having any seniors on the team has been a help because it caused everyone to step up and fill in at that level.
"Last year we had two seniors that were leading us in a lot of ways," Mohrfeld said. "We could've dropped down because we had no seniors, but I think we've kept up."
Kansas has won nine games this season, more than any other since Mohrfeld has been at Kansas.
"We're becoming a better team step by step," Mohrfeld said. "It's just not happening overnight. Sometimes it's a longer process and you have to take a couple steps back before you can go forward."
Mohrfeld and the rest of the Jayhawks will face Colorado at 4 p.m. today in Allen Field House. Kansas will play Nebraska at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in its second home match of the weekend. Kansas lost to both teams earlier this season.
"We know the importance of working hard every game because when you're an underdog you have to work all the time," Mohrfeld said. "You can't give up for a second."

that we have to avoid from surprising us." Washington said.
If both Kansas and Tennessee win, they will meet on Sunday in Knoxville, Tenn. The semifinals of the WNIT are scheduled for Tuesday, and the finals are planned for Wednesday.
Kansas senior guards Tamecka Dixon and Angie Halbleib recently were named the 1996-97 team captains.
Kansas freshman Adrienne Wiley, from Junction City, walked on the Kansas women's basketball team. Wiley, 5-foot-9-inches guard, played basketball at Junction City High School and had been practicing with the Javahaws since October.
The game against Purdue, which was originally scheduled for Dec. 2, was rescheduled for Dec. 1 in Allen Field House.
