My father taught me that the only way you can make good at anything is to practice, and then practice some more.

Rose attributes his success to a simple, inherited ethic: improvement is earned through repetition rather than talent alone. By framing the lesson as something his father “taught” him, the quote also casts discipline as a family value and a form of character training. The doubling—“practice, and then practice some more”—emphasizes that mastery is not a single effort but an ongoing commitment, aligning with Rose’s public persona as a relentlessly hardworking, “hustle” player. More broadly, it reflects a classic American sports credo: excellence is built through sustained, often unglamorous labor.
