"Pound the Rock"

You can't see "the little things" that fly under the radar. The squats, the pogos, the drop and tuck jumps, broad jumps, and bench presses don't produce immediate results.

The player who studies for an extra thirty minutes daily often outperforms the ones who don't. The player who does individual workouts or with a teammate pulls herself into the top ten percent.

As a freshman, Sabine Wenzel had one kill. Last season she had 369. There's a progression of "sweat equity." The player who keep grinding, keeps pounding the rock, growing technique and tactics while developing physical edges and resilience forces her way onto the floor. 

Kevin Eastman, former Celtics' assistant and author of Why the Best Are the Best, reads two hours a day. He explains that over 90 days, he gains 180 hours of education. That's a big edge over others. 

Former Alabama coach Nick Saban asks, "Are you investing your time or are you spending it?" 

Achievers keep pounding the rock because they know from experience that it takes what it takes. 

Lagniappe. Coaches like Scott Celli take inventory of your character and competence. Those show up every day.
