ALWAYS READY

“Bring it!” A statement we've all heard in sports, but too often, players today will talk a better game than they play. Only the best can even think about saying something like “BRING IT!” and still be able to back it up.

The best in the game have put in the time, energy, effort, thought, studying, and learning that allow them to be confident enough that they can back up their talk.

Read a quote from Michael Jordan when he was talking to the 1995 McDonalds High School All Stars. He said, “I hope all of you reach your NBA goals someday. I’ll be waiting and I’ll be ready!” Enough said.

For players, the lesson is to look deeper into what he said. He simply said that he has put in the hours, the sweat, the aches and pains to be prepared to take on all comers. He knows he’ll be ready because he understands what “ready” means!

With our most ambitious schedule yet for the 2010-11 season, will you be ready?
