Morale and attitude are the fundamentals to success.
If you are going to be a champion, you must be willing to pay a greater price.
You can motivate players better with kind words than you can with a whip.
Every game is an opportunity to measure yourself against your own potential.
Remember, 'Rome was not built in a day.' Instant success is never possible. Competence results only from sustained, consistent, self-disciplined effort over an extended period of time.
We compete, not so much against an opponent, but against ourselves. The real test is this: Did I make my best effort on every play?
