A lesson you learned during sports?
I am excited to learn from the group!! Would love to hear from each of you. What lesson did you learn from your time in playing sports? I'll share first ..... Played basketball growing up. Rec leagues / Middle School / Etc...not really AAU. Moving into freshman year... I made the freshman team...played above average minutes for that team. Fast forward to tryouts my Sophomore year. My parents kept encouraging me to practice / get reps / volume reps / shoot more / dribble more, etc I would play 5on5 at a local park for hours, but "worked on my game" for an allotted amount of time that I thought was enough. During tryouts, I was out of shape, and was missing a lot of basic fundamentals of the game, and clearly didn't rep important parts of the game enough. Didn't make the team. My outcome, in this example, was in my control I was content / complacent, and that my efforts leading up to that year, wasnāt enough. It was my fault. Great lesson learned, and I'm thankful I learned this shortcoming in the sports setting! My training and preparation for tryouts, was not obsessive enough!! ... You're up
