Commitment is extremely important in every aspect of life.  Every member of the Esperanza Basketball Program is expected to be 100% committed to becoming the best basketball player possible.  Furthermore, each member of the program is also expected to be 100% committed to the success of the team.  This commitment is displayed through a player’s work ethic and responsibility on and off the court.   Desire is not a hope or a wish.  Desire is the starting point of all achievement.  Desire has to be definite, for if you do not know where you are headed, you will not know when you have arrived.  Always remember that you will not acquire success until you believe you can acquire it.  As a member of the Esperanza Basketball Program, one has to have a burning desire to get as close to perfection as possible.    Persistence is the drive that enables us to move forward.  Lack of persistence is one of the major causes of failure.  Many basketball players give up at the first sign of opposition; Esperanza basketball players will push forward despite all opposition until we have arrived at our goal.
