You want to be the best? Then you must be the leader. The "C" on the jersey is earned in the summer, not assigned in the fall. Leadership isn't about being loud; it’s about emotional regulation and setting the absolute standard that everyone else is forced to meet.

You have a massive goal—D1, scholarship, or professional status. Great. Stop waiting for coaches to find you. You need to present yourself as a solved problem—an athlete who is ready to execute from Day One. Coaches don't just look at stats; they look for predictable performance, intellectual maturity, and low risk.
