This is an amazing outlook on life
Special stuff
"If you want to be successful, you need to be bad, then you need to be good. Then when you're good, you need to fail. Then when you fail, you're going to figure it out”
Your “why” is personal.
Your “why” can be temporary.
Your “why” can change.
Your “why” helps you focus.
Your “why” helps you be resilient.
Your “why” will fuel you.
Your “why” can melt your fears.
Your “why” can be simple.
Your “why” is yours.

I still wonder if somebody – somewhere – was practicing more than me"

ATHLETES: Play with No Regrets!
Your athletic career goes fast. Make the most of it. Control what you can control. Make memories.
Follow these 7 Steps to Have an Athletic Career with No Regrets.
1: Accept Coaching
Be coachable. You can always get better. You always have room for improvement. Accept coaching. Every coach teaches you something. Sometimes it will be good. Sometimes it may not be good. But, accept coaching and learn, grow, and live regret-free.
2: Pass the MIRROR Test
Can you look at the “Man/Women” in the Mirror and tell them you gave it your all? If you can do this each day you have passed the Mirror Test. Give your BEST Effort. Pass the Mirror Test and live with No Regrets!
3: Earn Confidence
Athletes EARN the right to be proud and confident. Put in the time. Commit. Be Proud. When you do this you create a belief that you are in control of the outcome.
4: No Skipped Workouts
Daily Habits Win. You can’t work out some of the time. Set a schedule. Have a plan. Then, go at it with persistence and relentless consistency.
5: Positive Attitude
You can always control your energy and attitude. Make sure it is positive energy. A good attitude combined with a growth mindset will ensure you leave your playing career with no regrets.
6: Show Gratitude
Many people are involved in your commitment and your athletic experience. Especially your parents. Be thankful for the time and resources they put in for you. Show gratitude. It will go a long way and will help you reach your full potential.
7: No Deposit - No Return!
Live with this mindset -> live with no regrets. You get out of everything that you put into it. Put time and energy into your sport and you will reap the rewards. Look back on your playing career and know you did all you could.
Live with No Regrets!
