Current Toronto Maple Leafs prospects from the NCAA include Nick Abruze and James Greenway.
I was recently in Hawaii where I watched the Diamond Head Classic, a college basketball tournament.
There were seas of people in the crowd who were very passionately watching, ranting, and chanting during the game. This made me wonder why we put so much pressure on young athletes and how strong mentally they are to deal with this from the age of 18 onwards.
Would they benefit from switching their focus off of their sport and ground them in humility and reality?
