Thanks, Alyo!
I tossed the mental thing out there, without elaborating, and you picked it up. in so doing you elaborated and defined beyond what I would have - or could have.
I think
attitude (also a mental attribute) has much to do with Kyren's game, too. I remember his tears of joy when he got the phone call, and his self-administered oath to give his all. It came naturally to him, and came from the heart. He hasn't reneged. He's a student and he's coachable. He'd be the comes early, stays late, sweeps the floor without being told employee you'd want in a small business. He's positive, enthusiastic, self-confident and humble.
