The whole of sport is designed to 'go again'...
I give the ball away...I go again!
I make a mistake...I go again!
I go a goal down...I go again!
Face forward and take action. There will inevitably be tough moments and tough breaks...but go again, go again, go again...

"It didn't matter what level of talent had been given to us, what size we were or how fast or slow we ran. It was what we did with that talent that counted. No excuses, no exceptions." @SFitzpatrick92
Don't be talented. Be relentless. Push beyond your talent.
"There's a difference between playing & competing. You don't prepare yourself to be the best at the beginning. You prepare to be the best at the end. Everybody can play in the first 20 minutes;it's the last 5 minutes you have to be ready to compete. That's when banners get hung."
Giving 98% effort isn't always enough to win a game. It's often the extra 2% that makes all the difference. You have to dig deep and find the extra reserve of motivation inside of you!
"Just because you do reps at something doesn't mean you are getting better at it. Repeated behavior always builds habit; it doesn't always build skill. Behavior with intention and purpose does build skill. Practice the right things - the right way - for as long as it takes."
Your job as a Head Coach is to get the program to it's ceiling. The ceiling is different at each place. This can be a very difficult concept for parents, players, coaches, admin to understand. Make sure you do things that help get to the ceiling & worry about what you control!
