Melrose has celebrated many excellent players and teams. Too often we want comparisons with this or that team, this or that student-athlete. Comparisons don't inform your narrative.
Ask better questions? What attention, commitment, discipline, effort, engagement, preparation, and sacrifice define you? Do you trust the process and your teammates?
Never let 'the noise' interfere with your process and your actions today. Noise comes in many voices; hear the worthy voices of your coaches and communicate 'early, loud, and often' on the court.
Singers share their poetic wisdom. In The Gambler, Kenny Rogers reminds us,
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done.
Savor the ride. Don't allow comparisons to rob your joy.
