When asked about his work ethic as a younger athlete, Kobe said he
tried to find a balance when in high school. He was known to work hard and put a lot of
time in the gym, working out at 5 in the morning before school, but he said he
also found time to enjoy himself, and would hang out like other kids and have
fun at things like parties.
He
acknowledges that with the amount of time and focus that it takes to be great,
you do have to make sacrifices, but when you want to do it and enjoy what you
are doing, you aren’t giving anything up but are gaining something instead.
As John
Wooden stated, it’s the important to make the best out of any situation.
When you
enjoy what you do, that’s where the will and passion come from.
As a kid, he loved basketball cards because
he could see the intricacies of certain moves, such as their feet, body
position, and stance. Robert Horry said
its amazing how quickly he can pick up a move that other players use. He’s been playing since two, so he said he’s
pretty much performed every move over time, so because of muscle memory, he is
able to recall when needed.
