From "Stuff" by Dick DeVenzio:
What excuse do you give yourself for not doing your best every play of a game or every drill in practice? Have you ever considered a coach could watch you play, even on a night you score 20, and he could tell you dozens of things you never bother doing?
Undoubtedly there are many things that you should do that you don't. But if you really want to be a good player..if you strive to do the little things consistently, there won't be any doubt in anyone's mind what kind of player you are. People may not say that you are great or wonderful or fantastic, but coaches will do better than that. They will say YOU CAN PLAY.
There is no higher compliment in the game.
