Excellence is a way of practicing according to your potential as if at any time the game of life depends on your last shot.

As a high school and college basketball player, I continually put myself in last second situations during my practice. I would actually dribble down the court counting “Five, Four, Three, Two…” I would take the last shot and shout, “One!” no matter if the ball went in the goal or not.

Excellence literally means to excel beyond good, normal or average. You are practicing excellence every time you put yourself into a situation real or fictional, with the intent of giving whatever you are doing your best shot.

Practice excellence anywhere, anytime, everyday!
