• You can complain about things you can't control OR you can control what you can control and let go of what you can't.
• You can focus on your problems OR you can focus on getting better.
• You can look for an excuse OR you can look within and find your best.
FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL!
“The more concerned we become over the things we can't control, the less we will do with the things we can control.” – John Wooden

“It’s really important that they are able to focus on what they can control today. We have so many players here who get frustrated about what happened yesterday. Or they get a little complacent because they had success yesterday."
-Nick Saban
It's not a line.
It's a measurement.
A measurement of commitment.
A measurement of sacrifice.
A measurement of respect.
A measurement of integrity.
A measurement of fortitude.
A measurement of effort.
It's a symbol to remind us that greatness lies in the smallest of details.

Embrace willingness over wanting for greater success.
To be a great team, make 'extra work' the expectation, not the exception. If you do what everyone does, you will get what everyone has. To get more, you must do more.
Ten things mentally tough athletes don’t do in games:
1. Make excuses
2. Complain
3. Give up
4. Get distracted
5. Lose their temper
6. Panic
7. Dwell on mistakes
8. Get complacent
9. Stay in their comfort zone
10. Play selfishly
You showed up on time or you didn't.
You did the workout or you didn't.
You respected your teammate or you didn't.
You listened to your coach or you didn't.
You met our standard or you didn't.
You made the play or you didn't.
YOU EITHER DID OR YOU DIDN'T
NO EXCUSES
#CultureWins
Everyone needs encouragement. Never underestimate the impact that random words of encouragement can have on others. They can brighten a person's day and light a fire inside of them.
"I want to see you practice. Because, how you practice is who you are." @DeionSanders
Average players search for 'the secret' to success.
Great players know 'the secret' to success is consistent daily habits and routines.
'Embrace the boredom of consistency' every practice.
What a week for Caitlin Kraemer!
