- Champions play as they practice. Create a consistency of excellence in all your habits.

- The only way you’re going to grow is to be in difficult situations.
- When you are passionate, you always have your destination in sight and you are not distracted by obstacles. Because you love what you are pursuing, things like rejection and setbacks will not hinder you in your pursuit. You believe that nothing can stop you!
- You should do things because of what your expectations of yourself are.
- Never let a person’s weakness get in the way of their strength.
- As teachers and coaches, we must remember that when mere winning is our only goal, we are doomed to disappointment and failure. But when our goal is to try to win, when our focus is on preparation, sacrifice, and effort instead of numbers on a scoreboard, we will never lose.
- There are always those times when you’re going to be down. It’s how you step through it that makes you the person you are.
