Pivot not to turn from the contact, for you eliminate many degrees in the opportunity to succeed.  The next opportunity you have when you pivot may provide you with the answer you seek.  In your pivot, you will still make contact, but you will understand that the slightest change of direction may make all of the difference in the long run.  Saving those other angles may be necessary for bigger obstacles you will face.  There are 360 degrees in a circle, yet we pivot at 45 degrees.  This is eliminating 44.999 degrees of opportunity that we have not explored.  Explore every degree in your opportunity to pivot. Pivots in your life don’t mean failure, but rather opportunity to enhance the possibilities for a better outcome. This applies to basketball, the classroom, at home, in your community, and in your future. Be ready to pivot!
