"A Pure Player"

Tom Izzo, coach of the Michigan State basketball team, was asked what type of player does he look to recruit. His respond was "a pure player". He elaborated by saying, "not the greatest player but a a player who truly loves the game. Someone who is willing to give his all to the game."

Now my question to you is, "Are you a pure player?" Just like in a game, in life you have your spectators, bench players, 6th men, and starters. What category do you fall into? Do you live up to your greatest potential? Or are you a bench player or a spectator? Do you even know what your best really is?

Whatever the answer is, you must set standards, goals, and/or expectations for yourself. You must know your worth. You must have pride in yourself. You must reach beyond the status quo and exceed all expectations. In the end you have to want to be that "pure player".
