Maybe today you missed a wide-open dunk…and there was no defender within 40 feet of you.

Maybe you got rim-checked even though you lowered the rim 6 inches.

Maybe the only dribbling you did today was NOT on the basketball court (maybe contact your doctor if that’s the case).

But regardless, we all mess up.  And I could blame old age, lack of sleep, not having the right shoes, being super sore from trying to keep up with the Cross Country Team, or my parents for not giving me truly elite genetics.

Or…

I could do my best. Enjoy the journey. Laugh it off and get the next one. Not take myself too seriously. Lower the rim if necessary.

Don’t make excuses. But keep shooting😊
