team, inside you’ve mastered the art of self-discipline and self-
control. You’re playing YOUR game.
What happens next is up to you. This moment is the
convergence of all of the coaching you’ve received, your
practices, the support of your loved ones, your preparation and
most importantly the training of your mind.
When this happens the game is elevated from a purely athletic
event to something higher. And then it’s not only about
winning a game. It becomes a strategy for winning at life.
So, as it relates to all of this teaching don’t you think that if you
strengthen and fortify your mind you will be able to control
how you react to everything?
More physical drills may not matter. It’s the training of the
mind and the rule over it that’s going to not only enhance the
play. It is going to build character, promote right action, and in
the end will be a way for you to raise your level of development
from purely physical and mental to spiritual excellence.
