The dumbest narrative in sports is that you can will yourself to be better than you are.

Let me explain something about will and determination and mindset...

They matter when it's time to PRACTICE. When it's time to GO TO BED. When it's time to EAT. When it's time to STUDY FILM. When it's time to REHAB.

They do not matter when it's time to play.

You can't magically make yourself good when you aren't. Trust me... I wanted to be good at basketball so ****ing badly. When you can't jump higher than 15 inches, your "will" and "want to" and "nothing to lose attitude" doesn't mean shit.

Guys rained threes on me and dunked on my head. They did NOT want to win more badly than I did. They often times didn't give a shit.

They were just better.
