In this episode of the I Am Mentally Tough Podcast, Gladine Frasso and Coach David Anderson dive deep into the importance of summer preparation for basketball players. They explore how discipline and mental toughness play a crucial role in determining success during the basketball season.
They discuss the concept of "The Harvest Doesn't Lie"—what athletes plant during the summer, whether hard work or laziness, will show when tryouts come around. The hosts also break down the factors that differentiate average players from those who become starters and standout athletes, highlighting the mental and emotional aspects that many coaches and parents overlook.
