College athletes have recently asked me "what do you wish you would have known (and done) while in college?" In order to be better prepared for those conversations, I realized I had a few regrets (primarily for not taking action when I had the chance). My goal was to make sure the people I met with knew this so perhaps they wouldn't make the same mistakes.  

While the advice was originally meant for college athletes, I quickly learned that it could apply to anyone. Here they are:

  • Learn to speak in front of people
  • Learn how to sell
  • Write great papers
  • Seek out mentors
  • Develop curiosity
  • Visit your professors
  • Build real friendships with your teammates
  • Be smart on social media
  • Be known as someone who speaks positively behind someone's back
  • Remember your fundamentals 
  • Focus on continual improvement
