The reality is, it is March Madness and I need to make this post about how important it is to do things the right way…..

Look at Cornell, Northern Iowa and St. Mary’s, all Mid Major colleges who NONE of the experts gave a chance, but yet, all of them are in the Sweet Sixteen!! I played ten season’s of professional basketball and I can tell you, it is soooo great to see these teams play the right way, and have this success, even though they have less athletic ability or talent. The truth is, they are fantastic competitors, they have high basketball IQ’s, they play together and they can shoot the basketball as well as being proficient at the skills of basketball, dribbling, passing, help defense. These teams success is a direct correlation, to playing the right way, and even if you have less talent, height, or athletic ability, by playing the right way, you can overcome a whole lot of stuff, even talent, because the reality is, talent is never enough on its own!! Congrats to the Mid Majors……
