A lot of athletes that could have gone big didn't because they didn't feel like sacrificing the short term things for the long term things. We all have a choice to make; whether we want to sacrifice the little things to gain the big things, or whether we want to have fun right now and not work hard to have even more fun in the future. While I was at Point Guard College the president, Mano Watsa, told us a very good story that really helped me. Here is the story:
Imagine if you parents or someone else told you that you could either get a dollar to spend every day for 1 whole week, or you could wait until the end of the week and get $20. Of course through the week, you might be out of money and can't spend it on anything, but at the end of the week, you'll be excited to get that twenty dollars. Are you willing to make that sacrifice and get the big gains in the end?
