Wednesday Wisdom

Made it halfway through the week, NOW KEEP GOING, Make the days count!!


The man that chases two rabbits catches neither- Simplify your focus and achieve more

The hardes thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn.

You will not be punished for your anger. You will be punished by your anger.

Have the attidtude of a student- Never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.

Its easy to make a buck, its a lot tougher to make a difference

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible #believe in yourself!

Fear
And
Insecurity
Leads to
Un
Realistic
Expecatations


If you think you are good, why not be better? If you think you are better, than be the best! Never settle

Patience, persistence, and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Confidence comes not from always being right; rather, from not fearing to be wrong

Do you want to be the part of the foundation or do you just want to be a replacement brick. Be part of YOURtory not HIStory

The 3 C's inn life: choices, chances, and changes. You must make a choice to take a chance, or your life will never change.

I am only enntitled to draw breath, everything else is a bonus

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled; and that has made all the difference

The only limits in our life are those we impose on ourselves.

Will you look back on life and say, "I wish I had" or "Im glad I did"

Dont confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doenst mean you arent headed for sunshine.

There is nothing to gain in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility comes from being superior to your former self.

Life is short, LIVE! Love is rare, GRAB! Anger is bad, DUMP! Fear is awful, FACE! Memories are sweet, CHERISH!


Have a great rest of the week and weekend. Happy St Patricks Day. WIN THE DAY each day, and MAKE YOUR 1440 COUNT!

Monday Motivation

Its going to be a long one....but that just means there is more time for accomplishments this week......


You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him

If you screw up, admit it. Excuses make you look weak. Be the leader who fixes mistakes nnot the coward who runs from them.

Life is a hard teacher, because it gives the test first and the less afterward

Treat people like mirrors; and watch how you reflect in their eyes

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

What you choose to give life today will determine what life will  give you tomorrow

You will never do anything in this life without courage.  It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor (Aritstotle)

Do every act of your life, as if it were the last act of your life.

People that are too weak to follow their own dreams will alwayrs find a way to discourage yours.

What is today going to be? A step forward or a step back? It has to be one or the other.

The key to unlocking my potential is within me. It is the power of my thought, my vision, and my commitment

Start your day with some type of accomplishment or win.  How you start your day, you live your day.

Your mind will quit 100 times before your body ever does. Feel the pain and do it anyway. Hard work is always worth it.

Be so good at what you do its impossible to not to notice

It Will hurt. It Will take time. It Will require dedication and sacrifice. But it WILL be worth it.

Motivation is what gets you started.  Habit is what keeps you going.

Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Faith does not make things easy...it makes them possible.

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you.

Hope is not a strategy. Luck is not a factor. Fear is not an option.


Have a great week! Try everyday to WIN THE DAY! Make your 1440 count!

Why We Do This

Every so often a story comes that shows us the way sports and society are integrated. Recently, a story has emerged about a basketball team from Texas with a student athletes with developmental disabilities. A CBS affiliate covered the story:


Stories like this show us why sports are so important. In the microcosm of this game, we got to see that there are truly good people out there, great relationships developing, people willing to help each other out, parents that have raised their kids right, and kids that understand what the right things to do are.

Its through stories like these that we as coaches can grow to understand we can make a difference in the lives of so many everyday, not just on our team, and not just for wins and losses, but in the world; and because of this we are blessed to be part of this profession.

Motivation Monday

Last week of February, let's make it a good one.


Having a rough morning? Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? That's called purpose. Your alive for a reason....Dont give up!!

The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him. Love is the key.
The difference between who you ARE and who you WANT TO BE is the work you put in.



Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.



There's no quit, there's no stopping, there's no such thing as a break.



Train like an athlete. Eat like a nutritionist. Sleep like a baby. WIN like a champion.


No excuses. No explanations. No apologies. Just hard work! How can we push harder? Believe or Leave.



Mediocrity is a series of judgements you make that are seemingly insignificant, but over time lead to a life of average.

You define you, you decide who you are friends with, you control you choices, reflect, and make the best choices.....


Few succeed because they are destined to; rather, most succeed because they are determined.

The public eye never closes. Be strong & committed to what you believe to be right. Unwarranted criticism and praise WILL both come! FOCUS !



The things we think about, focus on, and surround ourselves with will shape who we become.


Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your character.

It's the small things you do every day, that over time, amount to greatness


Find something you love to do and you'll never work a day in your life

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. 








At the end of the day, ask yourself, have you done everything you can to be your best you today. Win the Day! Make your 1440 count!
