The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.

Young people need models, not critics.

I do not judge success based on championships; rather, I judge it on how close we came to realizing our potential

No one is an overachiever. How can you rise above your level of competency? Everyone is an underachiever to different degrees. The harder you work, the more luck you will have.

Promise yourself to make all your friends know there is something in them that is special and that you value.

We can become great in the eyes of others, but we'll never become successful when we compromise our character and show disloyalty toward friends or teammates. The reverse is also true: No individual or team will become great without loyalty.

Others may have more ability than you, they may be larger, faster, quicker, better jumpers ... but no one should be your superior in respect to team spirit, loyalty, enthusiasm, cooperation, determination, industriousness, fight effort, and character.
