[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

“It’s not about me, it never will be about me. Whatever the team needs, whatever it is that night, I’ve got to do it and just help us win,” Derrick White

Good players want a starring role on the team.

Great players want to star in the role that the team needs.

I had a conversation with my six-year-old son about Jalen Hurts being an example of resilience. It was awesome.

People mistake resilience for a one time thing. But it’s almost always an ever-present factor on the path to greatness.

Yes, it’s about getting back up. But it’s also about coming to respect what you do, coming to respect the people you do it with, and coming to respect yourself.

Remember: it takes years to develop a craft. There is no such thing as an overnight breakthrough. You’ve got to be patient.

You’ve got to stay in the game long enough to break through inevitable plateaus. There will be periods when you love your work. There will be periods when you hate your work. It’s all par for the course.

Adopt a growth mindset. Find good mentors. Resist the comparison game. Hone your process. Commit to showing up. Keep going.

GBB FINAL: Rhea County 62, McMinn County 50.

Couldn't make that one last run to really threaten the comeback, but the Lady Cherokees did a lot of good things tonight to make Rhea earn it.

Molly Trentham had 20 points and Mia Sewell 15. @DPASports

[Gabriel Garcia @DPAGabeGarcia]

GBB halftime: Rhea County 32, McMinn County 21.

Lady Cherokees trailed as much as 14 in the 2nd quarter. A Molly Trentham layup at the horn off a well placed Mia Sewell inbounds pass helps McMinn stay in sight at halftime. @DPASports
