Basketball Training Workout #9

“It [what you choose to do] has got to be something that you’re passionate about because otherwise you won’t have the perseverance to see it through.” – Steve Jobs

I see and hear a lot of players claiming they want to be the best.

They want to be the star on their high school teams, play D1 college basketball and go on to play pro ball.

The only problem is that they don’t really believe it. How do I know?

It’s simple, they lack the passion to put in the work (train their skills) and persevere through their challenges.

Be one of the few that don’t fall into that bucket.
