Focus isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things consistently. When I was a player, I had a dream. I wanted to play college basketball — badly. I worked hard. I stayed disciplined. But what I didn’t always have was clear direction. I had effort… but not always focus. And effort without focus can feel like running hard in the wrong lane. Looking back, I don’t regret my journey I played at three colleges and learned invaluable lessons. But I know this to be true: Focus shortens the distance between talent and results. 🔑 WHAT FOCUS REALLY MEANS (FOR ATHLETES) Focus is: - Knowing what matters right now - Ignoring distractions that don’t move the goal - Repeating the same habits, even when progress feels slow Confidence doesn’t come from highlights. It comes from consistency. 👨‍👩‍👧 HOW PARENTS HELP BUILD FOCUS Parents help focus by: - Reducing noise (too many teams, trainers, opinions) - Asking: “What are we working on this season?” - Supporting repetition, not rushing results Focus grows when the path is clear. 🎯 TODAY’S SMALL ACTION Parents: Ask your athlete tonight: “What is ONE thing you’re focused on improving this month?” If they can’t answer clearly — that’s your starting point. 💬 COMMENT BELOW 👇 What is one area your family wants more focus on right now? Clarity creates confidence.
