🏀 The Work Is The Win 🥇
At 30-2 and ranked #1 in the country, the UCLA Lady Bruins are rolling!
Part of the recipe for success is their own analytics team, led by Sam Skinner.
Similar to what friend of The Basketball Academy Billy Oppenh said to us:
Success is not an accident.
Most of the people Billy has studied have gone through a lot of adversity throughout their lives.
Another thing is a lot of these people were told “Don’t waste your time with this.”
Next time someone is convincing you not to waste your time with something you believe in… Go prove them wrong!
The Work has to be the win.
Creativity & adaptability are inseparable.
Seinfeld: Your blessing in life is when you find the torture you're comfortable with.
