The basketball hoop had finally broke. It wouldn’t raise or lower the rim any longer. So I kept practicing my shots.
Though I was nailing them, no one would say that I was ready to play in league. They knew the hoop was a solid 7 inches higher than what I’ve shot at.
It took a new hoop that forced me to have higher expectations of both my personal excellence and my goal of being one of the most valuable players on my league team.
The funny thing about most of our pursuits is that we’re not playing with a broken hoop. We have the power to raise expectations for ourselves and others.
It required no additional incentive. No pep talk. No additional training outside my normal commitment.
Sometimes setting higher expectations is literally all it takes.
