"Success in an event.
Excellence is a process.
Success is the pursuit of wins, trophies, and status.
Excellence is the gradual pursuit of getting better.
Success is about results.
Excellence is about your effort.
Chase excellence and success will follow."

“Don't confuse your path with your destination. Just because it's stormy now doesn't mean you aren't headed for sunshine.”
– Mike Krzyzewski
Don’t spend time being consumed with the result.
Once you see it and think it, start to attack it by doing the next right thing, right!
Process is king!
A father told his daughter, "Congrats on your graduation. I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now."
Before I give it to you, take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it. See how much they offer.”
The girl came back to her father & said: "They offered me $10,000 dollars because it looks very old"
Father said: "Ok, now take it to the pawn shop".
The girl returns to her father & said: "The pawn shop offered $1,000 dollars because it's a very old car & a lot of work done".
The father told her to join a passionate car club with experts & show them the car.
The girl drove to the passionate car club.
She returned to her father after a few hours & told him, “Some people in the club offered me $100k because its a rare car that's in good condition.”
Then the father said, "I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value ."
The moral of the story : Know your worth and know where you are valued. A diamond doesn't shine on the bottom of a cave.
Any coach can motivate players by just using power, rewards, and punishments. But it takes a special coach to motivate players while respecting their free will and mental health.

This was a special group. Change can be hard, but the returners welcomed a new staff and new teammates with open arms. Stuck together all year and played our best ball at the right time. Truly impressive maturity/team-first mentality from everyone! Couldn’t be prouder! #GoMocs
