Dominating College Basketball

From 1968 thru 1970, Pete Maravich lit up the college basketball record books for:

  • career points
  • career points per game
  • season points per game (his three seasons leading the chart)

Christian author Donald Whitney concludes in the final paragraphs of his book Spiritual Disciplines For The Christian Life with a quote from Pete Maravich, leading Whitney to conclude “he ultimately regretted giving such productive discipline to anything besides his faith in Christ”.

“The key to my ability was repetition.  I practiced and practiced and practiced again.  I gave the sport my total commitment.  I tried everything I could in every way I could to perfect my skills.  It was like an obsession.”
