As my daughter – and fourth of four children – begins her freshman year of college, I resume my familiar place on my soapbox to impart a simple message:
REMEMBER WHY YOU’RE THERE
Enjoy the college experience. Make new friends. Participate in activities. Join clubs and organizations. Play sports and be active.
And, most importantly, maintain your focus and purpose. Work hard to be the best – academically – you can be.
This same principle applies to other areas.
When you’re at basketball (or any other sport) practice, have fun and enjoy the camaraderie of your teammates.
And remember the reason you’re there is to improve your team’s performance, and further develop your sport-specific skills.
Wherever you are and whatever you do, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the experience along the way, as long as you don’t allow it to interfere with the work that needs to be done to reach your goal.
Be diligent and disciplined about the process, and don’t lose sight of the reason you’re there.
Get STRONGER, Get FASTER!

That was the very words of my dad the year i got admission into college. The advice works.
Thanks, Henry! Have a great day!
