There comes a time in every player’s career where a part of their game reaches a plateau of sorts; and they never really progress beyond that point. Game stats from season to season tell the story. However, not all players are content to remain on that plateau. Are you?
When a coach tells you what you have to do to become a better shooter, ball handler or just an overall better player, do you get mad at the coach or blame yourself? If you get mad at the coach, you’ll never get better as a player. If you get mad at yourself, you will get better.
When you demand a lot of yourself, my experience has been that you get more in-return. If you settle for less, (content to remain on the plateau) you get that, too. Self-esteem, confidence and improvement come from accomplishment, not the other way around. The more you demand of yourself, the more you’ll give (and get) and the stronger the sense of satisfaction.
A wise player understands that.
