We have our phenoms. Our day ones. The Lebron James’ and Peyton Mannings of the world, who have been stars since they hit the court or field. But what about the rest of the team? The roleplayers? The guys who have to “get it out the mud?” Is it really possible to rise up the ranks to stardom, or is it all about being in the right place at the right time?

KEY POINTS:

• Stars vs roleplayers - what makes them different?
• What are progress blockers?
• Who has the “green light” and who doesn’t
• Would Tom Brady be the same player without that pivotal opportunity?
• Always be prepared for your chance at greatness

QUOTABLES:

“A lot of talented guys in the NBA just don't have the green light to take those shots or to drive the ball in court. I hate to use the word, but they're programmed that, hey, this other guy is the man on the team.”

“There are a lot of athletes in any sport, all across the world, that just want an opportunity to show what they can do. But once again, you got to be prepared for that moment.”
