Not playing? 1. What kind of energy are you bringing to your team? 2. Are you staying engaged and invested in the game? This is how you can still positively impact your team, even though you may not be on the floor.

2nd team: your job every day is to come in, compete, and make the 1st team better. 1st team: when you get the media spotlight, be like this player and shout-out all the players that do the work without the spotlight.

HS Players: The point of HS sports isn’t just to go play in college. I never played in college & I put in the extra work. Why? Because I wanted to be a good HS player & to be a good HS team requires you to put in extra work. This applies to anything you pursue in life.

HS players: If you only practice, lift, etc. when you are required to, how are you separating yourself from other players? Coaches can’t make you do extra work, but typically the ones that do end up being the best. Be proactive, you control your own work ethic and destiny.
