Keep Shooting
Danny Green, a star basketball player for the University of North Carolina, had a tough week in the middle of March this year just as March Madness was getting started. He's known for his exceptional shooting skill yet Green was 3 for 25 in two games and even missed three layups. I mean, come on, I can make a lay up. The media was all over him.
It would be easy to slip into a serious funk. It would be easy for his coach, Roy Williams, to tell him to shape up, pay attention, be a stud, whatever. It would easy for Green to think it's over. He's finished. He's lost his mojo.
Instead, what was did Roy Williams tell Green?
Keep shooting.
Green took his advice and within a couple of games, found his mojo and UNC won the National Championship.
You can think things are too hard, or why bother, or it's not worth it. You can quit. You can go hide somewhere and sulk. Injuries tend to do that to you.
Or, you can keep shooting.
