Some key points to take away from this podcast:

• Don't start with no, start with yes
• The day that you stop trying to make everyone else think you're the best is the day that you will see the most growth and improvement in what you do
• Sports are a great conduit for learning the skills that will make you successful in the game of life

We hope you're ready to go left lane, hammer down, full tilt boogie with us on this one.
