[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

“The difference between a really good player and a great player is great players don’t get tired. They just don’t, and what makes them great is that when the good players get tired, the great player kicks their ass,” Geno Auriemma
Great players have no excuses

6 Rules for Sports Parents:

1. It’s your child’s experience, not yours
2. Accept the struggle of team sports
3. Don’t ruin the ‘car ride home’
4. Be a good role model
5. Celebrate the team
6. Make memories

Be a Sports Parent your child can be proud of.

Do something uncomfortable today to improve your mental toughness. Take a cold shower. Run five miles. Conquer a fear. Living in constant comfort and luxury makes you mentally weak as well as lazy, ungrateful, and needy.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

No coach or trainer can force you to get better. You must choose to put in purposeful work. Practice before practice. Lead during practice. Then practice more after practice. This game rewards those who build great habits. Getting better is a personal choice, not an obligation!

Truth

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

The objective of sports is to win, but the purpose of sports is to build character. All the athletic success in the world means nothing if it makes you worse as a person.

[Texas MileSplit @TXMileSplit]

JV boys wait all day for their turn and they compete in the worst conditions of the day. This is the type of love they deserve!
