Blog 18: Third Answer

• How can a basketball coach most influence a young person's transition to adulthood? 
• It is the responsibility of a basketball coach to instill the importance of commitment into their player's mindset. 
• Commitment is essential in both the adolescent and adult world; if one does not grasp the importance of commitment, they will acquire the reputation of someone who is irresponsible. ex: committed to paying your mortgage every month. 
• Not only do people need to be committed to taking care of their responsibilities, commitment is also vital in relationships. ex: you will never have a healthy marriage if you are constantly cheating.

• Commitment is the state of quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc.
