So many times we want to make these huge statements and we go about it all wrong. We wake up wanting to be the best shooter, best ball handler, best player, and we start with doing things that are the toughest, because we think that’s what the greatest do. WRONG! Maybe the greats do these things, but that’s not how they became great. They started (from the point they decided they wanted to “make it”) with the simple things, the fundamentals, their foundation, before moving on to the next. Even babies understand the process of crawling, then walking, then running. It’s the same with basketball. The first steps might not seem as exciting right now, but when you start to see what you’ve accomplished (like baby who takes his first step), believe it or not, you will feel proud. And you just keep adding to that. But you can’t start from the top and work your way down. You won’t be skilled enough to adequately do so. #morningthought #motivation #inspiration #encouragement #basketball #hoopers #ballers #getbetter #dobetter #bebetter #beinspired #think #work #play #thinkworkplay #twp #thebasketballphilosopher
