Regardless of how well you can be offensively, if you have a great defense, you can deal with any offense.
Before anything great is really achieved, your comfort zone must be disturbed.
Don't let your alarm clock, be the only reason you wake up.
The only thing that could pull me away, was hard work.
The more you know about your opponents, the more you learn how to beat them. Where the holes open to run through, blocking schemes, even down to player tendencies and what hand they like to carry the ball with.
Never be comfortable.... .with just good enough.
