You either have that touch at this time or not. But attitude is another big one. A person who understands that attitude is a choice, and when things aren't going their way, that they need to get going. That mentality will make them even tougher and help them look for the positive. Mental toughness is also something I appreciate, as well as a person who has a sincere desire and determination to get a degree.
Academics have to be important.
The degree is for a lifetime. Good luck the rest of the way. Well, yes, probably so. The first win against North Carolina here at NC State, January of my first season, was big. It was the first televised game in the state of North Carolina.
