WHY ARE YOU PLAYING?

There is nothing special about wanting to win, every single team (and every player) wants to win. But very-very few of those teams (or players) have figured out the secret to winning.

Championships aren't won by accident. Championship teams win because they focus on the important stuff. They understand that when they walk into the gym, it is all about business. They take the floor with an intense focus on improvement. There is no time for goofing around, save that for your driveway. The best teams practice with purpose. They have a plan and work on those specific things that they will likely encounter during a game. They practice game-like skills at game-like speed.

Are you playing to win... or are you just playing?
