21 Qualities of a Leader

Bet on Yourself

Fred VanVleet got paid. I mean HE GOT PAID!

FVV’s contract of 4-years $85 million might not be the largest contract in NBA history but it is the largest contract ever for an undrafted free agent.

Bet on yourself. That has been Fred’s mantra – his philosophy – for a long time. 

In fact, he even has his own Bet on Yourself apparel line.

Greatest Baseball Player

“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will start to change.” (Dr. Wayne Dyer)

“I’m the greatest baseball player in the world,” a little boy boasted as he strutted around his backyard.
