“Never Be Average”

The letters NBA stand for National Basketball Association, which is the premier basketball league in the world. NBA also stands for “Never Be Average”, which is a mindset that focuses on the winning strategies that professional athletes use to maximize their abilities. It represents a standard of excellence that is available to everyone that is eager to reach their goals. Champions in sports and stars in the business world regularly out produce their competition because they have an internal passion for growth and continually strive to be their absolute best.

“Never Be Average” is a call for each of us to look deep within ourselves and know that we’re capable of doing more. The highest achievers know that if they relax and become complacent, the competition is ready to pass them by.
