Make Them Play You

"Make your coaches play you.
Make them regret NOT playing you.
There is always someone out there who wants your position or wants the position that you want.
You have to fight for your spot. 
Every day.
Fight for your minutes.

You have to grind it out because if you don't, someone else will."

This was a message that the mother of Steph and Seth Curry left on a recent podcast.  We now know Steph as a 2-time NBA MVP and one of the most popular players in the world, and younger brother Seth has created a great career for himself in the NBA, but fame and success was not always the case.

They were both overlooked coming out of high school.  They were only offered scholarships by smaller D1 schools, and many of the bigger schools felt that they were too small and not ready for the bigger stage.

But, they both kept grind, kept getting better, and are now doing very well for themselves in the NBA.

No matter where you are at and no matter what your circumstances are, if you have a dream, and a plan, the right work ethic, and some grit and resilience, you can overcome more adversity than you might realize.
