If you put your effort in 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 books, 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 and cheap ones.

I'm talking 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. Okay, so that which gets praised gets you're listening.

You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle.

Today's episode is brought to you by our friends over at TeamSnap, PGC basketball as well as lead them up.

I'm your host Adam Bradley alongside Mr. T.J. Roseen.

Today we are going to be talking about creating a mistake response versus a mistake reaction.

Very critical for players.

This is maybe going to change your entire mindset as it relates to making mistakes on the court or within practice.

I mean, there's, you know, something doesn't go your way and, you know, you have a natural reaction. Some people it's to, you know, put their head down. Some people, it's to curse. Some people as to whatever. People just react however however they want but a real secret a life hack right is to be able to respond you know to know that good things

are going to happen bad things are going to happen and you kind of calculate your response

and if you go into a game you're all jacked up and you go for three and all all of a sudden your reaction is to pout, right? But if you go in and you know, hey, if I miss these three, no matter what, or if I make these three, I'm going to respond in this manner. Yeah.
