Are You Practicing According to Your Aspirations?


Most athletes dream of playing at the next level. To some, the next level may mean playing for their favorite college or pro team, for others, the next level may be increased minutes or maybe even earning a starting spot on their team. In either case, we can all agree that it feels pretty good to imagine ourselves hitting the game winning shot at the buzzer or of being introduced as a starter for every game. But the cold-harsh reality is that if you want to play at that next level, you have to make that your goal…not just your dream.

You have to determine what it is that you want to accomplish and layout a plan to get you there. And most importantly, you have to be prepared to pay the price to achieve that goal. That means there will likely be plenty of hard work and sweat along the way.

Make no mistake, the player you are going to be when we start our season, will be the result of your habits and what you have chosen to do to improve your game during the summer.
