COMMUNICATION The interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs. COMMITMENT The difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something you do it when it's convenient. When your committed to something, you accept no excuses only results. - Kenneth Blanchard
Overcome Adversity
Mental Focus Being comfortable being uncomfortable Control the controllables Focus on the process not the result Be flexible Be accountable
Prepare to Win Practice Perfection Nutrition Honesty Sacrifice Rest Visualization Attention to details Grit Most people have the will to win, but few people have the will to prepare to win. -Bob Knight
Expect to Win Expect the best from yourself and then do what is necessary to make it a reality!
Team Before Self 1. During every athletic contest your body will ask, "Why am I doing this? I can not go on"... Your eyes will look to the left and then to the right...And see...the sweat running down her face, the desire in her eyes...At that point...Your heart will answer..."Because she is my teammate and she is counting on me." -Author Unknown 2.
