Shared victory is a double victory, shared defeat is half-defeat.
sports heart errors
Most of us are referees at heart; we like to call throws and errors on someone else.
sports mistake simple
Make your mistakes with confidence. It is the only way you are going to learn anything. Never be afraid to do a skill, no matter how simple or hard it may seem someone has done it, and so can you, With enough committed practice and confidence.
sports attitude winning
You cannot turn your winning attitude on when you think you 'need it.' You must work on it every day, every practice, every match - win or lose. Focus on playing to win, not playing to lose, for there is a season of difference between the two.
sports eye heart
Play your heart out each game, so you can look your teammates in the eyes and ask, without saying it, 'I played full out, did you?'

The wise coach takes all the heat when his players lose, and gives them all the credit when they win.
sports art player
I am here to give my players the little push they need, just like they needed long ago, when first learning the art of the swing. All you needed then was a little push, and quickly you were pumping away, flying higher and higher, without any more help from the 'coach.'
