If you put your effort and concentration and to play into your potential to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game. In my book, we're going to be winners.

The talent for so many players today, the talent and the spotlight, it's taking them to heights that their character's not strong enough to support.

I'm one of those set goals achievements.

I talked about faith, passion, obviously the drive with the guys that I've been around,

and the guys that surround me every single day.

If I want to be one of the best, I've got to play with and against the best.

So that which gets praised gets repeated.

You're listening to the hardwood hustle, brought you by PGC basketball.

Players, thank you for tuning in.

Special thanks, our friends over at Team Snap, Shot Tracker.

Lead them up and PGC basketball for all their support of the Harwood Hustle.

Today, players, we were talking about coming off the bench.

It is your time.

All right, how do you come off the bench effectively?

How do you immediately make the impact you need to make? TJ, take us, kind of lead us off here. Coming off the bench. Yeah. So, I mean, I think, you know, first of all, we're not going to go into it on this one, but we've talked in depth about how important it is to be a great bench player, you know, whether you're a starter or whether you come off the bench,

how do you add value?

And we've had those conversations and we can go. how important it is to be a great bench player, you know, whether you're a starter or whether

you come off the bench, how do you add value? And we've had those conversations and we can go

deeper some other time, but specifically talking about like coming off the bench into the game,

how do you become the most effective, you know, player that you could possibly be? And let's talk about

this one, which I know you have a lot of insight on here, Adam, is just the mental aspect. You know, like what's going on before you actually come into the game? I think that, you know, when you're thinking about coming off the bench, coming into a game, you've obviously just warmed up for 30 minutes or whatever, and now you're sitting for a long period of time and now you've got to come into the game.

And that's not an easy place to be physically.
