You’ll never know how good you can be until you take risks and give your best effort. Have the courage to test your limits. Even if you fail to reach your goals, you can at least say you gave it your all.

@StrengthDebates You need both. Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach your athletes how to stretch, give them routines to do away from you. Use weight training sessions for weight training, but don't forget or neglect the whole athlete.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

As an athlete, you need to know your “why.”

Why do you play sports?
What are your goals?
What motivates you to work hard?

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Constantly comparing yourself to others is an easy way to lose confidence. Put blinders on and focus just on you and your improvement!

Great leadership requires both words and actions. You can't just lead with your voice, and you can't just lead by example. You need to lead in both of these ways in order to provide others with inspiration and guidance.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

When you’re a college or pro athlete, you have a responsibility to work hard, whether you want to or not. It’s a privilege to play sports at a high level, so you need to be grateful and work hard with a positive attitude.

"Honor the Lord for the glory of his name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness."

You can't expect every part of your training to be fun. There are times to have fun, and there are times to work hard and embrace the grind.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Great athletes don't talk about how great they are. They just show up, work hard, and remain humble.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

There’s more to life than sports. Don’t just be a good athlete. Be a good person!

@BigGameBoomer How is this list compiled?

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Individual success is a byproduct of team success. If you put the team first, the individual awards and accolades will come!

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Every successful athlete has faced adversity. In fact, it’s their triumph over adversity that gave them the mental toughness to succeed later in life.

Happiness is mainly a mindset. With the right attitude and effort, you can find joy in almost any situation.
