"As a once obsessed basketball player, I became well acquainted with the phrase, "To leave it all on the court." Here's what it means:
"To give your all, to summon every bit of your desire, hunger, concentration and energy and harness it, channel it all into one pursuit. Leaving it all on the court renders you completely exhausted, unable to go on, spent… but basking in the complete attempt to fulfill your deeply held need."
In every performance, you must come on to the stage with the mindset that tonight, you will leave it all on the court. Tonight, the play is not "just another night" it is the "only night" and you must accomplish what you are here to fight for, right now. Right now is your only chance, not later, not tomorrow and not next week.
It's the matinee and you have another performance tonight? Leave it all on the court in the matinee. Tonight, you will leave it all on the court again. It is Thursday and the critic is coming on Friday, leave it all on the court on Thursday. On Friday, you will leave it all on the court once more.
When you accepted the role and signed the contract, you made a vow that every performance, you would leave it all on the court. Many people are depending on you now to keep your word."
