There are no shortcuts. I approached practices the same way I approached games. You can't turn it on and off like a faucet. I couldn't dog it during practice and then, when I needed that extra push late in the game, expect it to be there. Very few people get anywhere by taking shortcuts.

Michael JordanLook me in the eye. Itโs ok if youโre scared. So am I. But we are scared for different reasons. I am scared of what I wonโt become. And you are scared of what I could become. Look at me. I wonโt let myself end where I started. I wonโt let myself finish where I began. I know what is within me, even if you canโt see it yet. Look me in the eyes. I have something more important than courage. I have patience. I will become what I know I am.
