"You have to embrace hard.
Tough times make hard people.
Easy times make soft people."
Champions don't back down from adversity – they embrace it, they conquer it, and they emerge stronger.
That's the path to greatness.
"Sometimes we think that we are all in, but we are not all in."
"Do. The. Work.
Every day, you have to do something that you don't want to do.
You don't have to love hard work. You just have to crave the end result so much that the hard work becomes irrelevant." -Tim Grover
Many players work according to their feelings. If they are a little tired, sore or just don’t feel like it, they find excuses to skip it. The truly committed work based on principles! Excuses aren’t part of their vocabulary. When you’re fueled by passion you never make excuses!
• BAD players don’t take anything seriously
• AVERAGE players only take games seriously
• GOOD players take practice & games seriously
• GREAT players take take sleep, academics, warmups, weight room, film, conditioning, practice + games seriously
