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.

All right, players, this is T.J. Roseanne, and today we're going to talk about controlling your thoughts.

This is really important for young players and mature players, but controlling your thoughts is like a habit,

like dribbling, light like shooting like anything else that you

might do in the game that the more you practice it the better you're going to get at it and it could be

you know late game situations it could be your daily habits could be developing as a teammate could

come in a lot of different shapes and forms but what are you thinking about and and if you want to

think about different stuff let's say you want more time thinking about positive thoughts because your confidence is lower, or you want more time

thinking about strategy because maybe you're not thinking the strategy of the game. You're just

going out there and playing, but you realize it is a stumbling block for you. Maybe you want to

spend more time thinking of others, but you really find yourself thinking about

yourself a lot.

None of those things are bad or wrong.

I mean, that's just kind of how we're wired sometimes as human.

We tend to go to those places, but we also have some unbelievable things and skills at our disposal.
