Being pushed means you have potential.
Silence means they've given up.

Which would you rather have?

Next time coach gets on you, say thank you.
They still believe.

If you can honestly say you gave your absolute best effort, that's true success, whether you win or lose the game.

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

Mental toughness requires emotional discipline. To play your best, you need to tolerate stress and maintain a positive attitude.

Do you want to know who your best teammates are?

Watch how they react when someone else besides them does something good!

(Especially when they compete for the same position)

To be a good leader, you have to want the other guys to have success.
You have to want to win more than you want to shine yourself.

[Derek Deprey @derekdeprey]

A bad coach tears people down. An average coach focuses only on results. A good coach teaches skills and systems. A great coach builds confidence and trust. An exceptional coach helps people believe in themselves at a higher level. And the best coaches impact lives long after the scoreboard stops mattering.

Coaches: You can be both tough/demanding AND fun/loving.
You don't have to choose one or the other.

Losers: Assemble in small groups and complain about coaches and teammates.
Winners: Assemble as a team and find ways to win.
Which one are you?

If you truly want to succeed and be happy as an athlete, you need to put your team first. Caring only about your own success will ultimately come back to hurt you.

The more concerned we become over the things we can't control, the less we will do with the things we can control.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Players have to be taught to deal with the stresses & emotions of their sport. A college coach shouldn’t be the first person to teach them discipline, tell them they need to work harder or hold them accountable. Kids who aren’t equipped will crumble & fall when their truth hits!
