Elijah Bryant tells college basketball recruits to choose playing time and growth over big-name schools. He points to Trae Young at Oklahoma as proof that a less famous program lets you make mistakes and develop faster than a prestigious one where pressure limits learning.
All right, I got another thing I want to tell you guys. So if you're planning on playing in college basketball, wherever that is, take the opportunity over the name school. So what do I mean when I say that? Look at guys like, let's say, Trae Young. He could have went to a way bigger school, but instead he went to Oklahoma where he was allowed to make mistakes and play his game. And making mistakes matters. It matters because you're able to learn faster. Everyone knows when you have that coach and you miss a shot and he takes you right out. You can't learn and grow from that because you're so worried about making a mistake. So young hoopers, when it's time to make that college decision or wherever you're going, take the opportunity over the money, over the name brand school. The opportunity will pay off, pay off more in the macro development of your career. Oh, and if you're interested in learning about confidence, I have a confidence course coming up soon.
