The 10 Commandments of Floor General Leadership
BASKETBALL TIP
If you want to be a real athlete, an athlete who is proud of your effort and of your will to win and so on, you need to think in terms of digging deep down constantly, not just at the end of big games.
Once you get yourself to the point where you are constantly digging deep down, constantly summoning more energy, constantly demanding from yourself that little bit extra, you are the athlete you want to be.
