Kids are like a bank account. You have to make deposits in their life before you can take out withdrawals. They respond best to those who have invested time and true interest in them.

If you’re not very talented and you want to be a good player, do the little things better than anyone else - every day. If you’re talented and you want to be a great player, do the little things better than anyone else - every day.

Discipline is developed when you get clear about what you want, decide to pay the price necessary to get it, and resolve to give up whatever hinders your mission. If you’re undisciplined, it’s because you’ve chosen to go through life seeking prizes without paying prices.

We live in a soft-bellied society where everyone’s easily offended. Many love to “major in the minors” and cry foul. Don’t give others that much control over your emotions. We all get mistreated. Don’t let the small minds of others sidetrack you from reaching your goals.

Most coaches will do everything they can to give you the best training, best equipment, best facilities, best strategy and best support they possibly can...but they can’t give you HEART. That’s the one thing you have to find on your own...and it’s the most important thing of all.

Your daily routine snd habits have gotten you where you are but may not be what it takes to get you where you want to be. If so, you’d already be there. If nothing changes, nothing changes.

It’s amazing how many people have the work ethic of an average person and then think they deserve playing time, a promotion or something special to happen to them. There’s not much demand for an experienced average guy. “If you want to be great, be great every day.”

Competitors bring it every day. They don’t take plays off. They raise the level of play of everyone around them. The bigger the game, the brighter they shine. It’s just who they are.

You control your future. When you blame others for your problems and/or situation, you are actually giving up control of your destiny. Own the consequences of your decisions, learn from it and use it as fuel for growth.

If you truly want to be the best you can be, you have to make a decision to break free from living a life of mediocrity. We all have two choices each day: performance or excuses. Choose well - it becomes your legacy.

I love a good sunrise. It’s a sign that we get another shot at life today. Yesterday is gone. Good or bad, it’s history. Let’s be thankful for the new opportunities today will bring.
