Sucess

How bad do you want it?

Seriously. 

How bad do you want it?

Eric Thomas once said, “When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe

Only then will you be successful”

I’m talking about sacrifice

Not the sacrifice that Jesus made when he was nailed to a cross and died for our sins ever so long ago because

We are just talking about basketball

I mean, how bad do you want to succeed

How bad do you want that starting spot on the team and to come home and find

That letter from the college of your dreams saying they want you

I mean are you willing to lose the luxuries of lazy afternoons

To miss out on Saturday night parties

To go home with twisted ankles and sore shoulders

To give it everything you’ve got

I’m talking about passion

Knowing that there is nothing proving that you will reach all of your goals

And being ok with the unknown and still continuing to work for it

Toni Alfonso said, “It is far better to shoot an air ball than to not shoot at all for fear of missing.”

Are you willing to go through tons of air balls and turnovers just to get that 

one good shot?

To get yelled at by coach just to eventually get the pat on the back

To work everyday to slowly build yourself up

Do you want it kind of bad?

Or really bad?
