Perseverance... determination... mental toughness... Theses are the traits coaches are looking for when the competition is tough. These are traits that will serve you well in life. As we all know, things don’t always go our way, but having these traits sure does help you to get through it and, hopefully, to overcome what ever “it” may be. I know for me, being involved in youth sports when I was growing up definitely helped me to stick with things even when it got tough or wasn’t going my way. Sports mirrors life in many ways. Persevere, be determined, and have mental toughness and you will increase your chances for success, whether it is on the court or in life. This post was inspired by some of the recent road blocks and challenges I have faced while starting A Game Basketball as well as other personal projects. Whether I have met those challenges or I’m still in the middle of doing so, it is good to remind myself that it will all work itself out and to just keep moving forward, focusing on the parts that I can actually do something about and to not worry about the things I can’t control. Just give it everything you have and let the chips fall where they may.
