Only about 5% of high school hoopers play basketball in college. Take any & every offer and opportunity seriously.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

Everybody wants the opportunity.
Not everybody wants the personal responsibility and accountability that comes with earning it.
Coaches don’t owe you minutes.
Your preparation either forces their hand or gives them an easy answer.

“A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not on the branch but on its own wings. Always believe in yourself.”

Tom Brady on the importance of believing in yourself when no one else does

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Dan Campbell said, " You can’t just say we’re going to believe and not put the work in."

"I think the belief comes from the work you put in and doing all the little things right."

Your self-belief comes from action.

It comes from doing the work.
