"Tell me how this behavior is going to help you accomplish the goals that you have."
Make choices that give you the most and best options. Good choices improve you as a person.
1) Take care of business at home. Behave so that your parent can say, "She's every bit as helpful and thoughtful at home as she is outside." Don't be a 'Street Angel, House Devil."
2) Do your metaphorical homework. Academic performance gives you the most choice (optionality) for the future.
3) Use both first order and second order thinking. Second order thinking means "What if?" Coaches lose sleep over player "What if" decisions.
4) Be a "How can I help?" person. That works at home, school, work, and in the gym. Leadership is a choice. Give people a reason to say, "She's such a great person," regardless of your athletic experience.
5) Develop a personal philosophy. One of mine is to "Make friends with the dead." Here's a basketball piece about the late Coach George Raveling. His enduring philosophy, "Become the best version of yourself so you can help others become the best version of themselves.”
Lagniappe. Become relentless.
