It’s not about starting, it’s about impact. South Carolina women’s basketball team’s bench averages over 41 points a game while Duke’s bench produces over 31 points a game. These players focus on what they do with their minutes vs whether they start or not- no wonder these are 2 of the top teams in the nation.
In today’s world, athletes and parents often focus too much on starting. Shift your focus from starting/playing time to making an impact during the time you get.
Quest for Greatness is one of my favorite chapters in Challenger Deep because it speaks directly to what separates good from great—not just talent, but clarity of purpose. In this story, we spotlight Bruce Lee’s legendary “Definite Chief Aim”—a written declaration of exactly what he wanted in life, when he would achieve it, and who he would become in the process. Bruce didn’t leave greatness up to chance. He created it. This wasn't just about success in martial arts or film—it was about anchoring his life to a clear and specific why. He faced rejection, resistance, and doubt, but his unwavering vision pulled him through. If you’re an athlete (or coach, parent, or entrepreneur) trying to reach that next level, this story is a powerful reminder: a crystal-clear purpose backed by relentless action is how greatness is built.
