Be a goldfish 💪

If you are the best athlete in your circle, it's time to get a new circle. When you put a goldfish in a small bowl, it'll stay small. But if you put a goldfish in a large pond, it has the capacity to grow to be at least a foot long because of the environment it is surrounded by. This is the exact same thing for you athletes. If you stay in a small goldfish bowl, you're never going to be able to grow into the athlete that you're capable of being. Most of your friends in your circle, they may be great athletes, but chances are they don't have the same goals as you. Chances are they're staying up late. Chances are they're goofing around at practice. Chances are they're not putting extra time and effort into their game. That's fine for them, but you have bigger goals. You have a higher mission. So if you stay surrounded in that circle, guess who you're going to become? Them. But if you can find a new circle full of athletes with the same dream, if not bigger dreams than you, you will adapt and become them, just like the goldfish can adapt to the larger pond.
