1. Steph would be on the court before the workout started working on his shot while other kids still had their flip flops on.
2. If he didn't do something correct he would do it again until he did it right.
3. 5

5. the majority of the time it is through handwork but there are a few exceptions. Hardwork is needed for success because you won't be able to compete at the highest level if you don't put in the work.

1. His work habits made him the most impressive. He would always start working out 30 minutes before everyone else, the most dedicated player there.
2. With everyone he did, he made sure that he had perfect footwork and shooting form. When he would do something perfectly he would always keep repeating it no matter the situation.
3. 5 free throws
4. Davidson College
5. Success occurs through hard work because you cannot simply be successful for no reason. Success takes time, effort and dedication to the craft you are trying to be successful in. Without all of that you cannot be successful in what you seek to be successful in.

1. He was ready and already warmed up before anything started.

5. Success come from hard work, and a little bit of talent. If we put in the work we can all succeed. For example I spent a whole summer developing my three point shot, and now I can knock them down more consistently.

His work ethic and how much he decided to practice, when everyone was still warming up, he had already taken over hundreds of shots.

2. How was Stephen Curry meticulous?

He held himself to an extreme level of excellence where everything had to be perfect to that his shot and form became absolutely perfect.

Five free throws

5. Do you believe success is an accident or do you think it occurs through hard work? Why?

Success only happens from hard work, this is because hard work and dedication is what makes you good at something. The only way to become amazing at something is to practice and do it over and over again and the only way to stay determined and do that is to be dedicated and put in the work.

1)Stephen Curry already started to practice thirty minutes prior to his training.He had already started shooting his game shots and broke a sweat when the training had started.The main point was he had excellent work habits.
2)Stephen Curry was meticulous as he made sure he had perfect footwork and perfect shooting \ If he didn't, he'd re-do it even if the coach didn't take note of it.
3)He'd have to make five free throws in a row before he could leave the gym.
4)Stephen Curry went to Davidson College.
5)I think success is achieved through hard work and perseverance. Anyone can be successful in life. They just have to ignite that fire within them that grinds their gears to carry them to success. Those are the principles I stand by.

1: Steph was the least recognized player at the camp
2: 30 minutes before the warmup, Steph would already be shooting game shots and practicing unlike others
3: 5 free throws
4: Davidson
5: I believe success is earned through hard work, because if you ask any successful athlete, they wouldn't say I accidentally found out I'm good at this sport (Except maybe Tim Duncan) and they trained countless hours to reach the posterior they are at now
