How NBA Kenny Smith went from 0 to 1000 scholarship offers after one focused summer

How NBA Kenny Smith went from 0 to 1000 scholarship offers after one focused summer—because of how he responded to his coach's comment.


He used to hang out with his high school basketball coach. One day, his coach asked him, “Hey Kenny, what do you want to do in life? Kenny said he wanted to be an NBA player. His coach said, “Oh, I didn't know that, because you don't work hard enough.” He knew his coach wasn't trying to hurt his feelings, especially the way his coach said it so casually. 


So Kenny decided to make some changes on his own. He went from no scholarships in his junior year to 1000 near the end of his senior year, when he could have gone to virtually any college he wanted to. At the end of that senior year he was a first team All American, Mcdonald's All American. His high school coach told him, “I've never seen anyone get that much better in three months.” Hear what Kenny Smith had to say to his high school coach when his coach asked him what did you do? What are two or three things someone could learn from his example?
