Insight From a Basketball Coach - What it Takes To Reach Your Goals
He will mention some of the things that he see's as a coach that teens (and young adults believe it or not because they never learned these lessons as teens) allow certain things in life hold them back from achieving their goals.
The Big Picture. Just Be You
Watch me struggle to find the words to deliver a message off the top of the dome to help you understand that life is not about you trying to imitate those you idol. (Artist, Entertainers, Sports Players, etc. Remember these are just humans just like you!)
It's cool to be an individual, think for yourself and do your own thing in life. Let know one ridicule you for being smart, preparing for the future or doing other positive things in life. It's easier for them to criticize you for being stronger than them than it is for them to also be an individual so they join the crowd of all the others who follow the masses.
Living the Fast Life
Living the fast life is not what it seems. You see the cars, the money spent, the women, and you see people just having fun. What you don't see is the void in these people's heart. You don't see that fact that often people have no real true friends. You don't see that they can't trust people they want to trust sometimes. You don't see the stress, the pain, the emptiness when they are alone.
It's these things that people try to hide living the fast life that leaves them open to experimenting with using drugs and other things risking their health, freedom and chances for true long term happiness.
Why Wait To Date? Is There Ever a Good Reason to Wait?
There are many benefits for smart teens and even young adults who are trying to accomplish goals to wait to date.
1. Just think about all the drama and issues you see other boys and girls, men and women going through with the cheating and lying and miscommunication.
All this takes attention to whatever else you are trying to accomplish in life.
2. Plus if you end up in a relationship now you have another person's feeling to consider in your decisions.
3. Then what if you become pregnant.
Then what if you become pregnant and find out he or she is the same type of person that was described in item number one!
4. Now tell me, how will you ever go forward with accomplishing your goals!
I am not finished.5. Now supposed your pregnant by someone in item 1. (which means he is self centered) and the person has no money.
Pregnant, by someone immature, with no money how will you move forward with your goal? Just a thought.
Focus your time and attention on getting yourself straight then meet someone later who is compatible with the direction your taking your life. You and that person is more mature and likely to treat each other better and continue to pursue your dreams in or out of the relationship.

More relationship advice for Young Adults - Choosing The Right Person
If your going to get in a relationship, you want to deal with someone that is compatible with where you are in life, what your goals are, how you see yourself being treated, and what type of relationship it is your are interested in.
All these things will determine what type of guy you should be open to. You should have standards but they don't necessarily have to to the same for each type of relationship you are seeking.
However: Don't let these people, (ladies especially) fool you into thinking you should drop your reasonable standards so your not alone. You need to make sure you are in the right environment dealing with the right people to meet those that will measure up with your expectations. You must carry yourself in a way that attract those types of people and you must be realistic on the combination of things that you desire.
(Scenario. Your looking for a serious relationship. How do you think you are going to deal with someone imitating thugs on videos, with no job, spending all his money from hustling on rims and sneaker,(not even saving re-up money cat getting fronted) spending all time with friends. Then when you end up pregnant expecting to be treated like a woman with the illusion that an immature person pretending to be a man who worships material possession to stick around to take care of you and a child when he could be out having fun spending his money on himself. Get the picture here?)
Some of The Ladies are Looking For Those Thugs and Gangsters
To each his or her own, just be sure that is really what you want and it fits in the type of relationship you are want. Also be prepared to deal with the type of personality and characteristics that are likely to come along with that. Don't forget the potential outcome if you get pregnant by the type of person your are messing around with.
Just Food for Thought in case you hadn't though about it or think it can't happen to you. That is the thought that many single moms had who had to struggle raising a child on her own with little or no support because the father is either immature and/or irresponsible. Of course ALL thugs and gangstas won't leave you fending for your self but my best advice to you if you don't think there is truth to what I say is to speak directly to single mothers yourself and count how many tell you stories very similar to what I just described.

Ever Though About Joining a Gang. Money Power Respect? Listen...
Being a real member is not like you see on tv or what you hear on radio. The glamour, glitter and fun is not what being in a gang is about. It also won't feel any void you may have which makes you desire to join. Only the leaders are getting money, having fun and using the power they have, usually over you and whoever else they can get to join. Gang life is not all fun and games and it leaves you with a rough road to travel for your future.
