Our youngest, Josh, loves basketball. He achieved one of his goals recently when he was one of only three new players invited to join the LVBS travel team.
Josh has 2 seasons (not two years, two seasons) of organized ball under his belt so far. His new team mates have been playing for at least five years and at a much higher level.
In this league, there are no guarantees on playing time and no promise he'll make the team next year either. There were close to forty players at the initial tryout. From those forty, 18 were returning players, leaving 22 to compete for the remaining three spots.
Josh has to respond by demonstrating his ability on the court. He has to out hustle and out play his teammates. In other words he has to RISE UP to the occasion!
How he handles the next few weeks will speak volumes on his inner drive.
There is no doubt he will give 100%. What about you? Are you in a similar position in life, or at your job, or in a relationship which will require you to RISE UP?
