If you are easily offended, here’s a question for you...how did you get so mentally soft and emotionally weak in the first place? That’s what should offend you.

Some say they want to be great but then do everything they can to avoid pain and being held accountable. The great ones embrace discipline and the grind to greatness because they know it separates the pretenders from the contenders.

Nothing has the power to make us have a bad attitude. We’ve all been mistreated. Thankfully, we get to choose how we will react. Don’t blame your attitude on anyone but you..

Being a parent can be tough. None of us want our kids to go through anything painful but at the same time we know it’s critical for their development. Reminds me of the old proverb, “prepare the child for the path not the path for the child.”

"There are two pains in life.

There is the pain of discipline and the pain of disappointment.

If you can handle the pain of discipline, then you'll never have to deal with the pain of disappointment"

When meeting others, let's teach our boys to take their cap off, look'em in the eye, speak up, speak clear & shake hands like a man.

Confidence doesn’t come from painting your face or from loud music. Those fade fast. It comes from being prepared & outworking the opponent.

[Bob Shipley @RobertShipley2]

Trust your training & preparation - not a "rabbits foot" for good luck. You give yourself the advantage with hard work - not superstitions.

[Bob Shipley @RobertShipley2]

Surround yourself w/people who push, encourage & inspire you to do & be your best. Don't spend time w/the unmotivated. Misery loves company.

[Bob Shipley @RobertShipley2]

The #1 reason athletes fail at the next level? Lack of mental toughness, hands down. No amount of talent can overcome being weak-minded.

[Bob Shipley @RobertShipley2]

Kids are like a bank acct. You have to make deposits in their life before you can take out withdrawals. Kids respond best to those who care.

[Bob Shipley @RobertShipley2]

Don't pour so much into your kids athletic careers that you forget to teach them about life. When it's over, they're stuck with who they are

It is written: "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.'" — Romans 14:11

[Bob Shipley @RobertShipley2]

One of the toughest things facing kids & young adults is learning how to work through adversity & pain. You can't have growth without both.

[Bob Shipley @RobertShipley2]

It's easy to coach the good ones & think you're a good coach. Helping every player reach their potential regardless of ability is coaching.

[Bob Shipley @RobertShipley2]

Great teammates don't protect each other when someone's out of line. They protect the culture. No one is bigger than the team.
