The Sweet 16. Congratulations! Your team has survived in advanced. You have earned yourself the right to compete one more time this season. Do not get distracted and focus on having a great basketball day today. If it’s practice, be the most focused you’ve been. If its film study, pay complete attention to detail. If its rest, get as much as you can. Be you sure to hydrate and eat healthy because a victory in this round gets you to the elite eight.
The next game is the only focus. Do not worry about the Elite Eight! Do not worry Final Four. Today is the most important day of the season, treat it that way. Limit your screen time! Put academics on the back burner. Tell friends and significant others they’ll be plenty of time once the season is over.
This may be the biggest game in your life, but it is just basketball. Once that ball gets tossed up the team that plays together, plays hard, and play smart will walk off the court with their heads held high. Everybody in the state tournament at this point is a good team and is playing well. It’s gonna take an incredible effort to beat your opponent And remember if you give everything you have and leave it all in the court and play to your potential regardless of the score you’ll be happy with your effort and can reflect back on a fantastic season. If you’re a Cinderella team keep dancing baby upsets happen all the time and March madness.
Good luck and as Jimmy V would say dream big.
