The link is in the description. It's your turn. You shouldn't feel guilty. It's your turn. It's your time. You've blessed everybody else. You've set everybody else for success. You've compromised you for them.

And look where you are. It's time for you. And so for a lot of you, you're not doing nothing because you don't have any purpose right now. You don't have a sense of purpose. You're not waking up for nobody. And I need you to get that engine. I need that drive because you know what to do.

You're the right person to do it, but you just can't seem to get out of bed. You can't seem to do what you're supposed to do. Every time you come up against a trial or tribulation, you let it stop. You got to find your why, and your why is what's going to start you. And the problem with some of you in this room, you don't have no drive.

You ain't got nothing pushing you. You ain't got no reason for waking up anymore. You ain't got no reason for pushing past that pain. You have no reason. You better find one before you get out of here today. You better go inside. You still looking outside for the stuff that's already inside. You're still looking for someone to save you when you already your superhero.

You're looking for some information from somebody when you already got what you need in your head. It's just time for you to get up and be the best version of you. It's not an option. And the reason why some of you are not where you're supposed to be, You've given yourself an option. You've given yourself an out. You've given yourself an excuse. You've given yourself room not to do it, but you have what it takes.

Give me some energy. I can. I can. I will. I will. I must. Come on. I can.

Come on. I will. I can. Let's go. Let's go. Can means I have the ability to do what it take. I have the ability to do it. it. I will. I have the willpower to make it happen. I must, my wife needs me. I must my son need. I must my daughter needs me.

We can, we will, and we must get through this. Let's go. I want to ask you a question. Seriously, this is going to be hard because some of you young and you're like still worried about what people think about you so you don't want to be honest in front of people. I want you to think about what level you want. Are you giving 90, 80, 70? Let's see what I'm saying for a minute. I gave everything I got I have no more to give. Like, I really put 120 into this. So raise your head if you're giving 120. Like, I ain't got no more to give, E.

I'm giving, I'm giving 100, E. I know I got, I'm just doing at least what coach want me to do. I'm doing everything coach wants me to do. I'm giving about 90%. It'll be real. I'm giving about 90%. Let me see your hand. Of my effort, let me see your hands.

I'm giving about 80%. Let me see your hand. 70%, let me see your hand. I need you for you to admit where you are. What is it going to take for you to give every single thing you got? What is that going to take? It's consistency. And so I got to go to bed at a certain time.

I got to wake up at a certain time. There's certain things I can't eat, certain things I can't watch, certain things I can't do. And I'm talking about that grind. I got an opportunity. You got an opportunity. So here's a deal. When you have an opportunity, why would you give 80% when you have an opportunity? Somebody answer that for me.

Your talk. Why would you give 80%, 70%, why wouldn't you always give 120%? This right here for a lot of y'all, y'all ain't got no discipline, it's killing you. It's killing you. And you don't even realize it's killing you. It's killing you. If you're not giving 120, I'm not mad at you. My job is not to dog you out, because once we go back out, my goal is to come here and take you to that next level.

From today on, you play whatever your best game is. You play that level every single time. It doesn't mean you're going to score every time, but the effort hasn't. You can always give a hundred and twenty percent effort. Life going to go on regardless. Mental toughness. It is in those times. We have to be stronger than we've ever been before.

Why? Because they need us more than ever need us before. I just want to make sure that the life we got left, that is sweeter than the life that if I wasn't focused and I wasn't do what I'm supposed to do, and we're going to make it the best possible. It's your life. You got it.

What you're going to do with it? I want to ask you a question. Seriously, how many of you are in this room? You like, yo, it is my life, but I ain't been in control of it as much as I should be in control of it And after the day, I'm taking more control of it. Let me see your hand. Be honest with me. Come on, let me see your hands.

And so you looked up to who when you play ball? Like, who were the people you looked up to? Kobe. Kobe. LeBron. C.P. D. Wade. Kobe.

I was the same thing with me with Dr. Martin King. In Washington, like all those people, I just said. I got a dream when I saw Malcolm like boom and I saw hundreds of black knit boom like let's go I'm like like I could do that and then when I found out I could make money doing it and I could take care of my family I was like showtime like you only got one shot e so here what I'm saying opportunity you have an opportunity of a lifetime when you understand you have an opportunity you just you play a little different here's what I want to tell you if you're going to get it you will have to have to have a dog you're gonna have to have that dog you're gonna have to be that dude that say I'm not just going with skills there's a there's a one type of dude who feel like because he's gifted that is this automatic role for him let me tell you all something you are gifted but you better humble yourself you got skill and you got will two total different things you were born with certain things but to get to the next level and not just get to the next level to stay at the next level

You gotta have will when you get to that next level. So when you play, you have to compete. It's sports, it's basketball. Why wouldn't you give 120%? Talk to me. What would make you not give 120%? You gotta answer it. You play that level every single time.

It doesn't mean you're gonna score every time, but the effort hasn't. You can always give 120% effort. You can't dictate if the ball will always go in. You can't dictate what kind of game you're going to have. You can't dictate how your body is going to respond to moving around. But you can dictate your what?

You can dictate your good. You can dictate your, you can always give 120% effort. Like here's a deal. When y'all go play tonight, tomorrow, my goal is for you to go 120. So you're going to have the right people in here helping y'all. But if you're giving me 70, 80, 90, you ain't giving me 120. You're not going to get out of this experience what you're supposed to get out. That's my job. Why don't you always give a hundred and twenty percent

effort? It's your turn.
