Jimmer Fredette – Jimmer Inspires – Jackson Emery’s Basketball Camp
Poziom:
Temat: Sport
How many of you guys wanna play
basketball in the NBA?
Or the WNBA?
Well, that’s exactly what I thought
when I was a kid.
That’s exactly what I thought when I was a kid.
And that’s what you guys should think.
The problem is
that there is only 60 players every single year
that make it into the NBA, 60 players.
You have to think about
''I have to work harder than anybody around the country,
everybody around the world now,
in order to make it to the NBA or the WNBA''
and that’s something to do
but, you guys can do it
if you put your mind to it.
That’s what I’m here to tell you.
I had a dream when I was young.
How many of you have ever heard about
this contract that I signed and my brother wrote for me
and then I signed the contract, he signed the contract.
How many have heard?
A lot of you have heard of it, huh?
What do you guys think that did for me?
Dedication
Right, dedication. Any others?
It gave you a goal.
Gave you a goal. Gave you a goal. Right?
Now when I was a young kid
like your guys’s age this guy, my brother came to me
with this contract, and he said, it said:
''I'' and then it had a line for my name.
I signed it.
Jimmer Fredette,
will make the necessary and the proper sacrifices
in order to play ... to reach my ultimate goal of playing in the NBA.
That’s what it said. And I signed it.
He signed it.
I hung it from my bed,
and I went to bed dreaming about playing in the NBA.
Now you have to go out and take action
and actually work as hard as you can to do it.
So I played other sports when I was young,
I played baseball,
I played football, I played soccer,
I played a lot of different sports growing up.
But, my main goal was basketball.
So a lot of you guys might go out and play other sports
and that’s good,
I recommend that you guys go out and play as many sports as you can.
It really helps with the other things that you wanna do,
but with saying that,
if you wanna be really good at sport,
you have to play that sport everyday
on top of the other sports that you play,
and that’s what I did.
I went out there
and if I have football practice,
I would have football practice for a couple of hours after school everyday.
Then I’d go home and eat and I’d be tired.
But instead I went up to the gym
and I shot shots and I did all these drills that you saw me doing today
and I’ve been doing those for a long long time.
Because I've set a goal.
I saw every single night before I went to bed
then I went out and worked as hard as I possible can every single day.
I saw my dreams start to come true.
Now, I’m from a small town,
I’m probably from a smaller town than almost all of you guys that are in here.
From up State New York,
a really small town, no one thought I could go up and play in the NBA,
no one thought I could be a division one basketball player.
No one thought I can reach – reaching dreams that I’m reaching today.
But I DID!
And the biggest thing is,
it’s because I went out there and I worked as hard as I possibly could every single day.
There was a lot of hands up saying you want to play in the NBA or the WNBA, right?
There’s a lot of hands up.
My challenge to you,
is to go out and do it.
Go out and reach your dreams.
Whatever it is, it doesn’t have to be playing basketball,
it could be what ever it is.
Like I said, instruments, school work.
It doesn’t matter what it is.
I challenge you guys to set a goal,
so after this camp is over,
think about it, okay?
Go out. Set a goal.
That you wanna reach later on in your life.
Write it down, okay?
Then post it up, right above your bed.
Okay?
So every single night,
you’ll see it and you’ll be thinking about the goal
that you want to accomplish.
How many can do that for me?
You guys all wanna do that?
If you guys really put in the effort every single day,
you guys can do it
and I promise you that.
