Jets HC Robert Saleh’s Survivor, Contender, Competitor, Commander Speech:
“A competitor is someone who is internally motivated to be his best regardless of the situation. His place on the depth chart does not matter… He is always trying to absolutely be his best.”
John Wooden didn't win his first national title until his 16th season at UCLA.
Starbucks didn’t reach store #5 until 13 years into its history.
Sam Walton (Walmart) didn’t open his 2nd store until 7 yrs after starting his company.
Be persistent. Success takes time.
YOU GET WHAT YOU EARN
"You have to pay full price ... That's what commitment looks like. It's not when it's easy or convenient. It's when things are hard and things aren't going well." (Brent Venables)

So to overcome your obstacles and live the “I don’t believe in defeat” philosophy, cultivate a positive-idea pattern deeply in your consciousness. What we do with obstacles is directly determined by our mental attitude. Most of our obstacles, as a matter of fact, are mental.
