"We're so afraid for our kids to be exposed to hard things. Hard is good. The earlier you can learn to deal with hard- the easier it gets. Because hard is coming. Whether we want to shield our kids from it or not, hard is coming- high school, college, first job- hard is coming." @GregOlsen25

“Cool doesn’t win. You have to be willing to do the uncomfortable things that go into winning. We will not win until we're humble enough to do the things it takes to win games. Winners know why they win. They know tangibles win games. Losers don't know why they lose.”

Never underestimate the mental fortitude and positive influence of your most committed and consistent players. They will always be the players who guide you through adversity and enthusiastically lead you to success.

"Compete. The ability to sustain a high level of competition allows you to have or at least approach success. Hard work doesn't guarantee success but without it you got no shot.'  That gives you a chance to pull a game out or make a team quit.  We call it 'the wear-down effect'."
