Very well said. I think, also, kids need to accurately define "next level" for themselves. Does that mean JUCO, draft, D-I, etc.? Have a clear-cut goal of where you want to be & shoot for it. Most importantly, once a certain goal is achieved, re-adjust the goal by raising the bar (or you'll get complacent, not improve, and lose your contract...but I digress). Basically, DO NOT LIMIT OPTIONS. Figure out what is important for you, personally (not Daddy's or Mommy's expectations), and get after it like Coach T points out.
