Practice tomorrow at 230pm, workout right after. If you’re available and have no homework (clear it with Darin) to do, you’re invited to skate with the girls at 8am.

This quote came from Kobe when he was on stage accepting the 'Icon Award' at the ESPYS. He was addressing fellow athletes: 

“We’re not on this stage just because of talent or ability,” Bryant said.

“We’re up here because of 4 a.m. We’re up here because of two-a-days or five-a-days.

We’re up here because we had a dream and let nothing stand in our way. If anything tried to bring us down, we used it to make us stronger.”

There are thousands of athletes that had similar or even better talent than Kobe. Just like there are thousands of executives, leaders, sales managers, artists, musicians, writers, etc. that have the same and more talent than you and me. 

But at the end of the day, it doesn't come down to who has the most talent or intelligence. It comes down to who is willing to make the choices that others are not willing to make. 

Who is willing to shoot baskets in the dark when everyone else is sleeping? Who is willing to prepare more for an interview? Who is willing to practice

“In life and in business, there are three types of people. Those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happened.”

“Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.”

– Will Rogers

Team pictures will be at 215 on Tuesday, please be prepared to dress in your whites.
