I get this question a lot. Playing on line 1 is an inspiring goal to set for yourself. In order to get there, you need to become one of the better players on your team, you’ll need to be a leader and capable of handling yourself physically and emotionally in the most important moments of the most important games.
The path to getting here isn’t the same for everyone. You’ll need to leverage your unique strengths to produce results.
