Value those colleagues who tell you the truth, not just what you want to hear.
Winners are not born, they are self-made.
Competition got me off the farm and trained me to seek out challenges and to endure setbacks; and in combination with my faith, it sustains me now in my fight with Alzheimer's disease.
There are some concrete ways to create a winning attitude. But nothing beats practicing it. When you prepare to win, belief comes easily.
We communicate all the time, even when we don't realize it. Be aware of body language
You can't have any quit in you if you want to be successful.
Coaches who start listening to fans often wind up sitting next to them.
If I was renowned as as tough coach, I also wanted to be a caring one
A competitor continually sets new goals. He feels the need to keep raising the bar. If the fist goal is to make the team, and he achieves it, he immediately resets the goal to: I want to be a starter.
I want to continue to do is to help these young women be successful. .. You don't just say goodbye at the end of their playing careers and end it there.
Make Winning an Attitude.
Teamwork does not come naturally. Let's face it. We are born with certain inclinations, but sharing isn't one of them.
Group discipline produces a unified effort toward a common goal.
You spend more of the game preparing to win in the final seconds. And that is what separates winners from losers.
