Yes, it’s true that everyone possesses a distinct set of natural abilities, and highly-skilled basketball players seem to have almost superhuman talents. Often, it looks unbelievably simple for them to reach an esteemed level of excellence. But everything begins with effort. It takes offering full doses of energy, passion and time spent perfecting your craft to manifest an undeniable attitude backed with the appropriate action and results. Excellence means performing at the highest level for an extended period of time.
Here are three reasons effort is the key:
Effort Reflects Your Commitment
How much you value something is reflected by your level of dedication to it. Where your time and effort are invested is where your rewards begin to appear. You have to go after the win with intention and commitment, both on and off the court.
Effort Reflects Your Engagement
It’s impossible to feel something to which you have no connection. Being engaged reveals how much effort you’re willing to invest in listening, gathering new information and, ultimately, how much it matters to you.
Effort Reflects Self-Esteem
How great do you want to be? Better yet, how great do you believe you are meant to be? How hard you work for something says how much you believe you deserve it. When you want the best, you not only expect it, but you do what is necessary to attain it.
