Ask for the discipline to follow our New Year's basketball resolutions. Make it easier to follow the new behaviors and harder to continue the ones needing to go.
1. Find daily minutes for gratitude. Most of us are here not because of the game we love but the people we've met through the game. Memories flow from "peak experiences" and "end experiences." The saying "All's well that ends well" captures the latter.
2. Get more and better exercise. "Youth is wasted on the young." For older readers, staying mentally and physically fit (strength, balance, nutrition, sleep) challenges us daily.
Here's a dumbbell program I'm doing twice daily:
5 exercises, 5 sets, 6-8 reps per set
- Lunges (forward and reverse)
- Squats
- Overhead press
- Bent over rowing
- Curls

Defensive player has to keep 2 hands on the ball. Offensive player bounces the ball and waits until it gets to its peak. Then attack off of a split catch.

You won’t always be motivated.
You won’t always be inspired.
You won’t always be excited.
You won’t always feel like it.
But you can still choose to be committed, to be disciplined, to live the standard, to do the work.
Own the way you show up.
