TEN BEHAVIORS THAT REQUIRE ZERO TALENT

You want to separate yourself? 

Start with the things that don’t take talent—just discipline.

1️⃣ Being on Time – Respect the game, your teammates, and the opportunity.

2️⃣ Work Ethic – Be the one who shows up and never cheats a rep.

3️⃣ Effort – Every drill, every possession, every moment—go all in.

4️⃣ Passion – Let your love for the game show in how you play and prepare.

5️⃣ Attitude – You control how you respond to every situation. Choose the right one.

6️⃣ Coachability – Don’t take correction as criticism. Growth starts with listening.

7️⃣ Body Language – Your energy speaks before your words do.

8️⃣ Energy – Be the spark that lifts the gym, not the one that drains it.

9️⃣ Focus – Lock in on the little things; that’s where games are won.

10️⃣ Preparation – Winners are ready before the lights come on.

None of these require talent.

But every single one shows who you really are as a player.
