There is an endless number of voices today that we can choose to listen to. Some are good. Many are not. There is one voice that never fails me: The Lord’s prophet on the earth today. Russell M. Nelson. If you like what he teaches here, there’s more. Listen closely!
“Do you want to be happy? Forget yourself and get lost in this great cause. Lend your efforts to helping people...Stand higher, lift those with feeble knees, hold up the arms of those that hang down. Live the gospel of Jesus Christ." -Gordon B. Hinckley
Players: If your coach holds you accountable, you are VERY fortunate. A lot of coaches accept their players doing whatever they want, whenever they want with no consequences. Discipline, responsibility & accountability are life prep! If your coach cares that much, respect it!
Losing is only temporary and not encompassing. You must simply study it, learn from it, and try hard not to lose the same way again. Then you must have the self-control to forget about it. – John Wooden
With some sports underway, we're encouraged by mask-wearing we've seen at events so far. That being said, we still have to do better if we want fall sports to continue. #MaskUpUtah#MyReasonWhy
Players: Your athletic career is very temporary; character lasts a lifetime. The person you are is far more important than the player. Are you kind, trustworthy, compassionate? Do you help ppl? Is your word more than just words? Be someone people respect as an athlete & a person.
Expect to Win Today! Expect success and your positive beliefs often lead to positive actions and outcomes. You win in your mind first and then you win in the hearts and minds of your customers, students or fans.
Seniors: Regardless of your role on the team, it is your TEAM! You have a real responsibility to improve it any way you can. Understand that your body language & your words are seen & heard by your teammates. Those things can build & strengthen your TEAM or they can tear it down.

Players: You want to instantly be tougher? Keep your mouth closed when being coached. Be able to take correction without needing to talk back or give excuses & change your body language. You must work at it. This is a mental toughness skill & it takes deliberate practice daily.
