Sometimes a winner is just a dreamer who never gave up.
If it turns out that my best wasn't good enough, at least I won't look back and say that I was afraid to try; failure makes me work even harder.
Nothing of value comes without being earned.
You have to be un-compromised in your level of commitment to whatever you are doing, or it can disappear as fast as it appeared. Commitment cannot be compromised by rewards.
I am competing with what I am capable of.
I'd take 12 guys who had a strong passion for the game over 12 guys who don't respect the game.
Never think of the consequences of failing for you will always think of a negative result. Think only positive thoughts and your mind will gravitate towards those thoughts!
Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates
I can never stop working hard. Each day I feel that I have to improve. Hardwork...Determination...I gotta keep pushing myself.
Look me in the eye. It’s ok if you’re scared. So am I. But we are scared for different reasons. I am scared of what I won’t become. And you are scared of what I could become. Look at me. I won’t let myself end where I started. I won’t let myself finish where I began. I know what is within me, even if you can’t see it yet. Look me in the eyes. I have something more important than courage. I have patience. I will become what I know I am.
Patience. I will become what I know I am.
You have to be uncompromised in your level of commitment to whatever you are doing, or it can disappear as fast as it appeared... Excellence isn't a one-week or one-year ideal. It's a constant. There will be days when you don't feel on top of your game, or meetings in which you aren't at your best, but your commitment remains constant. No compromises.
I've had tendinitis since college.
I built my talents on the shoulders of someone else's talent.
