Peak performance requires a balance of being serious and having fun. Try your best and play with discipline, but also have a positive attitude and play with joy.
You are either developing elite habits or you are not.
Everything you do sends a message.
And your job is to send the right message to me...you're ready to compete, you're a great teammate, and you believe in what we ask you to do and how we do what we do.
@readswithravi Michael Jordan said, "Obstacles don’t have to stop you."
"If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."
Choose to compete.
All successful people accept this ONE principle: No struggle, no growth.
I can remember watching this live with my family. We were definitely bummed at the result of this 1st game but looking back I truly believe a loss was needed to help the Bulls lock in further in their quest for the championship.
June 2, 1991: NBA on NBC's intro for Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Bulls and Lakers.
Magic Johnson had 19 PTS/11 AST/10 REB, James Worthy scored 22 PTS and Sam Perkins added 22 PTS (3-4 3P) in Los Angeles' 93-91 win. Chicago's Michael Jordan had 36 PTS/12 AST/8 REB/3 STL.
As an athlete, be prepared to face failure many times in your career. You will be overlooked. You will be doubted. You will be rejected. You will suffer from slumps and injuries. But you must stay positive and persevere until you succeed!
@the_joe_marotta There's no denying Matt Borne was the best Doink but it is fair to wonder if he could've properly pulled off a face version considering the direction the character went.
Rick Barry hit 90% of his free throws during his NBA career shooting “granny style” and nobody else has committed to it in the almost 50 years since. I find that insane.
Nothing great in life comes easy, and nothing that comes easy is great. Some of our happiest moments come from stepping out of our comfort zone and striving for greatness.
