I always recommend to any player to always compose their own music. It's one of the best things you can do to find a road to your own style.
What I would tell young players is that as you get older, the best thing you can do is try to have other interests and have opportunities.
I don't think that players learn how to play any other aspect of the game in high school or college.

Whatever you're selling, storage or networking or security, you're going head to head with the incumbent players.
It's easy for me to get along with chess players. Even though we are all very different, we have chess in common.
It's hard to say if the NBA is hurt by the influx of younger players, but it's definitely impacted the league.
We, as a league, must do a better job of protecting the integrity of the game and the safety of our players.
I was a conservative kid, but I had fun. I was in a fraternity and stuff. I wasn't a player - that's for sure.
