*** Passion leads to Courage. Courage leads to Work Ethic. Work Ethic leads to Excellence. Ask Keanu Vela or Isaiah Visoria about this fact. Ask Coach Jimmy Miyasaka. Or Brandon Cablay. Ascending to the level of college basketball and beyond isn't about luck. It starts with passion.
*** Indifference leads to Apathy. Apathy leads to Stagnation. Stagnation wastes everyone's time. Ask anyone who skips practice and/or games for a week, a month, several months about this fact.
We don't want indifferent players who have a casual or flippant attitude about improving their team and themselves. Ever. I'd rather keep a spot open for the next hungry, passionate player than allow someone who is taking up space, missing practices (or always late), someone who refuses to help his team improve.
Ask yourself: am I passionate about my team and this game? Am I hungry every day to get better? Or am I perfectly content to have these current skill and conditioning levels for the rest of my playing career? Is it painful for me to work on my game every day?
There's no right or wrong answer. There's only the truth. The sooner you know your truth, the happier you will be.
