I have a lot of young players on our team this season and several of them are struggling with the transition from rec league ball to a highly-competitive environment. In addition to having to physically match up against bigger, stronger and faster opponents, several are missing the fact that they are also competing with their teammates for playing time during every practice. They continue to allow themselves to be easily distracted while the coach discusses an important concept or while teaching a new play.
People who are truly committed… people who care deeply about the outcome, are called competitors. Whether it's in practice or in a game... they don’t just merely wing it and expect to keep up with the best of the group. They set aside any and all distractions and focus on what is important.
Are you just playing… or are you playing to win?
