2 Timothy 4:5a

“But I want you to keep your head no matter what happens.  Don’t give up when times are hard.”

This verse means a lot to me just because of the timing.  I read this verse last night, the night before my first day of tryouts.  It was as if God knew what was going on in my life and what I was stressing about.  He showed to me that it’s not something that I need to be stressed about.  I just need to relax and have fun with it, and when I mess up, just focus on doing it right the next time.  This could be applied to not only basketball, but basically everything in our lives.  Don’t stress about everything-relax!  When you make a mistake, don’t worry about it, just don’t make the same mistake again.
