The Value of Your Edge (ACH)

DON’T BE THIS TYPE OF PLAYER

The purpose of working out, training, etc. is to be able to produce in games. For players the progression should be simple…
1. Put in the work
2. Play confidently in games
3. review how you played, adjust and start back at 1

The hard work of skill training and physical development creates edges. Edges impact your performance, your teammates' performance, and your team. 

Having a higher vertical touch, better short area quickness, or better bench press won't get published in a newspaper or online. No headline ever read, "Susie Improved her Athleticism 27 Percent." 

Maybe you'll develop higher grades, more confidence, and better sleep by commitment and discipline. Who is the most important person who will recognize a difference? You. 

Do the work. Take your best shot. 

Lagniappe. ACH. Anything can happen. On March 14th, 1998 the Harvard Women's Basketball team went to Palo Alto as a sixteen seed against powerhouse Stanford. Susie Miller hit the game winning shot. She won't be thinking about that today as she's too busy working in an emergency room, Dr. Susie Miller. 

Trivia - Stanford Coach Tara Van Derveer was born in Melrose
