Knowledge is confidence. And confidence lets you play fast.
If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries.
Accept false steps as opportunities to learn. It's one thing to hate failure, it's another to fear it.
Don't ever let good enough be good enough.
You can easily separate 'team guys' from 'me guys' by how they accept coaching. The guys that accept it are about winning
A coach wouldn’t throw you to the wolves if he didn’t think you had some wolf in you.
The more you prepare beforehand, the more relaxed and creative and effective you’ll be when it counts.
What sets disciplined people apart? - The capacity to get past distractions. Focus on the task at hand.
A team divided against itself can break down at any moment. The least bit of pressure or adversity will crack it apart
If I have affected someone in a positive way, that means a lot to me.
Confidence is only born out of one thing demonstrated ability. It is not born of anything else. You cannot dream up confidence. You cannot fabricate it. You cannot wish it. You have to accomplish it.
You are what your record says you are.
Blame no one. Expect nothing. Do something.
Losers assemble in small groups & complain, winners assemble as a team & find ways to win.
