Players who are interested in playing basketball in college need to hear the absolute truth. "It's not a game, it's a job" ,"You will have rules", "You will have roles" and "You will have responsibilities". And you don't get to choose what part of the job you like or dislike. Also, after signing your name on the dotted line, they own you and you must learn quickly how to adapt and embrace the direction in which they are leading the team. Oh, and about playing time, you nor your parents get to control that. My advice is always to keep a healthy attitude and stay ready when your number is called.
The reason I'm sharing this with you is too often young high school players have a false sense of reality when it comes to college. It's not all that they hoped it would be as it relates to athletics.
If student-athletes are going to make it in college they must grow up, be wise and make good choices. And realize that the world doesn't evolve around them.
