You will never know if you’ve reached your potential or not until you’re done playing basketball. It’s like the carrot dangling in front of the horse… your potential is something that you never really arrive at because you should always be getting better… no matter how far you’ve come. If you’re an elite 13u athlete and they say you have a lot of potential, really, that just means “other people” think you are capable of achieving great things (i.e. college scholarship). But if you make it to college and you become a bum because you’re not applying yourself, would you still say that you’ve reached your maximum potential… or just your 8th grade potential? We have to stop getting so caught up in people telling us we have potential. EVERYONE has potential. But, will you actualize that potential until the end of your career, or will you live up to your middle school, high school, freshman potential. There’s no arrival for potential… it’s a journey. #morningthought #motivation #inspiration #encouragement #basketball #hoopers #ballers #getbetter #dobetter #bebetter #potential #whatispotential. #beinspired #think #work #play #thinkworkplay #twp #thebasketballphilosopher
