When the talent is all in one place. When 125+ college coaches are stacked behind the backstops. When championship games are played at the University of Florida. When $15,000 is on the line.
You know you’re at Show Me The Money.
If you’re not here… where are you?

Athletes‼️‼️Being on an athletic scholarship is a JOB.
And just like any job, you should clock in on time, handle your responsibilities, and execute the tasks your coaches assign. Film, lifts, treatment, study hall, practice, it all counts and is part of your job description.
Just like any job, there are other duties as assigned and overtime too, the things nobody applauds but everyone notices when they are not done. If you want a bigger role, more minutes, more trust, doing the bare minimum will not get you there and can lead to you being “released” from your role or put on an “improvement plan.”
Show up early. Be consistent. Produce. Be coachable. That is how you separate yourself. The ones who treat it like a job are the ones who last.
