Keep Something That Is Yours Outside Sport
Make room for interests and relationships beyond basketball.
When to use it
Use when every conversation about you seems to become a performance review.
Put It into Practice
- Name an activity, interest or relationship you enjoy without needing to improve a basketball outcome. It can be simple and inexpensive.
- Find a realistic place for it in your week. Talk with your family about commitments rather than adding another demanding goal to an already full calendar.
- Notice whether you are allowed to enjoy it without tracking progress. Protect that space from becoming another competition or public content project.
What It Can Look Like
A player keeps time to draw, walk with a family member or play a casual game with friends.
