-I want to see an average game performance; this is all I need

2. Experience

3. Record (going back to high school)
-winner
-loser

4. Attitude

5. Intelligence (street smarts)

6. Practice habits

7. Personal habits

8. How badly do they want to succeed?

9. Answer to #8 (in two questions)

-Here is the fly swatter
-Here is an ax
