Motivate Yourself and Your Team

Kobe Bryant helped win the Lakers five NBA titles during a twenty-year career. That doesn't tell the whole story.  

Bryant was a tireless worker, practicing for several hours multiple times daily during the offseason.

Supposedly, he took 1,000 shots a day for a hundred days and worked to enhance his athleticism and maintain his body. 

He was partially profiled in the book Relentless. Tim S. Grover trained Bryant from 2007 to 2012. 

Nobody expects high school athletes to make the sacrifices of the most elite pros. But learning to commit to excellence, focus, and do the work. Establish habits that will serve you your whole life. 

Quote: “Do. The. Work. Every day, you have to do something you don’t want to do. Every day. Challenge yourself to be uncomfortable, push past the apathy and laziness and fear.”

Lagniappe. When you give your best every day, there's nothing more to be done or said.
