Do you have what it takes to be a winner?
In basketball, when most kids think of a winner, they probably think of someone who scores a ton of points, but that’s not true. There are some players who have average 30 plus points a game and never won. Being a winner is not just about scoring. It's more about being willing to do the things that doesn't show up on the stat sheet. Doing the work that most people overlook, like all the unseen work. Majority of the things that winning requires won’t show up on the stat sheet. Being a winner won’t always equal an award, and you may not go viral. If you want to win, you have to be willing sacrifice and put in the hard work it takes to win.
