Look in the mirror. Staring back at you is your toughest competitor. Your own doubts, distractions, and fears often derail and defeat you more than any opponent ever will. WIN YOUR INNER BATTLES and you will soon win your outer battles. #WinYourInnerBattles
Everyone says they want to win a CHAMPIONSHIP. But to get there you have to love the practices, the training, the grind, the drudgery, the discomfort, the turmoil, the candid conversations, the growth. YOU MUST EMBRACE THE CHALLENGES THAT LEAD TO CHAMPIONSHIPS! #CultureWins
If I need to beg you for a better ATTITUDE or greater EFFORT, then you are going to need to beg me for playing time. #CultureWins#DontBeg#Attitude#Effort

If you cause it, you are accountable for it.
If you contribute to it, you are accountable for it.
If you condone it, you are accountable for it.

“You must hold people ACCOUNTABLE. You’re not always going to be the most popular. If you want to WIN, sometimes you have to have a difficult conversation with people. You know they're not going to like you. But you do it because you want what's best for the TEAM.” Carla Overbeck
If you want to win a state championship, you have to put in the work. Not just for one day. For a Freshman it's 1460 days. A Sophomore it's 1095 days. A Junior 730 days. A Senior it's 365 days. It takes everyone working every day - Including the community, parents & coaches.
Coach Quotes
@CoachMotto
If a coach can’t trust your effort in the weight room, the classroom and at practice, how can you be trusted to play in a game?
Players...”DONT BE” the senior in HS with no offers saying...I wish I would have taken the weight room seriously! I wish I would have listened to my coaches! I wish I would have worked harder! I wish I would have taken academics more serious! I wish I could do it over again!
“Look at your locker room...it tells you everything you want to know about your team. Is it messy? Do all the lockers look the same? That’s important because it’s about details.”

Never make excuses for not doing your best in the classroom. You don’t have to be a straight-A student to be a good student, but you do have to make being a student a priority in order to be the best student you can be. #Ap2w
