O Lord, you alone are my hope...My success - at which so many stand amazed -
is because you are my mighty protector. All day long I'll praise and honor
you, O God, for all that you have done for me. Psalm 71:5-8
Achieveing success & personal glory in athletics has less to do with wins &
losses than it does with learning how to prepare yourself so that at the end
of the day, whether on the field or in the classroom, you know that there
was nothing more you could have done to reach your ultimate goal.
"Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to
be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than
yourself."
- William Faulkner
Having fun is the name of the game. We all go out there & play as hard as we
can to try to win. But the main reason we play is to have fun. Never do
anything you don't enjoy. I've always said that when I stop having fun, I'll
leave the game.
You cannot be a good leader without good character.
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the
determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of
ourselves to the task at hand.
