Every young player in America needs to listen to this. "If you want to be successful, you need to be bad, then you need to be good. Then when you're good, you need to fail. Then when you fail, you're going to figure it out... ”

All kids want an offer. Not all kids want 6:00AM weights, 8:00-12:00 class, 2:00 practice, 4:00 film, and 6:00 mandatory study hall. An offer isn’t the end game, it’s the beginning of a long, difficult, very worthwhile journey.

If you can dribble, there’s an AAU team for you. If you have a jersey, there’s an All-Star game for you. If you can pay, someone will get you a write up. It’s not until college that kids are ever told, “you’re not good enough for x-level.” And we wonder why they don’t get that.
