ARE YOU WALKING IT... OR JUST TALKING IT?

Every team has a “best player” and some teams are fortunate enough to have two. Some of these “best players” understand the responsibility that goes with that and others don’t. But those who do understand the responsibility have two things in common:

 They have earned this designation (not just been given it)
 They understand it’s an everyday responsibility

It’s about consistency. It’s about being a pit bull of sorts. It’s about bringing it to every practice and for every game.

Everyone wants to be Michael Jordan or Kobe or Lebron, but they don’t want the hard work or responsibility that goes with it. Being thought of as the best is not a one-time thing. It is an everyday commitment to excel as a player who gives maximum effort every time she hits the floor. That means every game, every half, every quarter, every minute, every second, and every possession!

And this is no different for anyone who is — or wants to become — the best. It is a personal commitment that takes incredible daily focus. If you want to be your teams “best,” are you walking the walk… or just talking the talk?
