Basketball: Arrogance of Success

You can only be as good as your self-belief. Excellent players have "plus" grades in at least two of three elements of skill, athleticism, and physical attributes. 

Work to understand psychology in life and sport. Consider the following: 

  • Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. Organizations want high character players who work hard, buy in, and lead. 
  • Prior performance doesn't 'transfer' to the future seasons. Every season begins at 0-0. 
  • "It's always showtime." There is no entitlement. Established players had the qualities that allowed success. Excellent players bring an attitude of proving excellence every day. 
Lagniappe. The priority should be making the best play on the ball.
