Today is officially the 1st day of fall and as we leave summer behind us each day brings us closer to basketball season. While most players that I have come across tell me that they want to become better players they have to put in the work to do so. The off season is the best way to transform yourself and your game. You will never reach your full potential if all you do is work out during the season during practice. The off season is where you'll really become a better player if you work at it. Each day that you aren't getting better, someone else is. That other person may be a classmate of yours that you're competing for a spot on the team with or a player on an opposing team.

Most common people are satisfied with mediocrity or the status quo. If you want to be truly great you need to work at it every opportunity that you have. Improve your game and get 1% better every day. Greatness is uncommon so its not often experienced by the common man. I hope that each and everyone of you are working hard and getting 1% better each and every day.
