Summer is here and during this time most athletes decides what they have to develop for next season. Lebron James said during his championship speech that he focused the whole summer on shooting jump shots and during this season his jump shots had improved well.
It comes to every athlete to understand that we are not perfect, we will never be, but we can strive towards perfection and along the way we will find ourselves reaching our goals. My inspirations are those NBA players that shut down everything around them during the summer time just so they can focus on developing parts of their game. Some players like Kobe Bryant could stop play basketball for 4 years and still come back and be amazing, but he chooses to use every summer to work on his game. No wonder why Kobe is the King.
The question you have to ask yourself is, what are you going to develop this summer? You have to be realistic too, the summer is only a few months and you will not accomplish tons of skills in a few months. Therefor it is important to write what you need to get better at and choose the one that you believe will benefit you most the next season. I have speed and explosiveness on my notepad. This is because I want to bring something extra to the table next season. Hopefully all my hard work will payoff.
