Just one degree can make all the difference.

This weekend I had the opportunity to share with some of the youth in NYC the 212. And it made sense to them. 212 degrees (boiling water) is about taking your game (life, education) to the next level. It’s not about being satisfied with where you are. Be good is good, but being great is better! Sticking with this idea, there’s so many things that boiling water can do that really hot water cannot! And it’s just in one degree. One measly degree. We have to turn up the heat. In our shooting, defense, rebounding, basketball IQ, and many other ways. We need to turn up the heat… and it can always be turned up! Imagine what your game would look like if you turned up the heat JUST ONE DEGREE. And then another degree. And then another. Imagine all the little (and big) things you can do to become an elite hooper, make the varsity team, get a scholarship to the college of your choice, get drafted, go overseas, play on the Olympic team, etc. Imagine those things that can be done… and then turn up the heat!

Again, just one degree can make all the difference!
