Don’t get talked out of who you know you are. Don’t let how long it’s taking, what you didn’t get, who left you out, convince you to lower your standard, give up on your dream. God’s favor is on your life. He’s called you for such a time as this.
Dawn Staley shares the question every recruit should ask and almost none of them do.
"Everybody's good on the good days. It is who you can trust, who you can talk to and communicate with on your worst day."
Then she explained what she tells every recruit:
"We're gonna make you feel good during the recruiting process. You're gonna come here, we're gonna roll out the red carpet, we're gonna give you our best. Everybody's gonna do that."
Every program shows you their best - that's the easy part. But it comes down to trust.
"I want you to think about if it's 2 or 3 years down the line, when you in a slump, or when you lost a parent, or you broke up with a boyfriend, or whatever - Who's gonna get you back on course to be your talented self?"
That's the real question. Not who recruits you the hardest, but who do you trust? And who do you believe will commit to you and your future?
Everyone looks good when things are easy.
The real test is who shows up when things get hard.
