PLAYERS: You're never a neutral teammate. You are either making things better or making things worse on your team. You are either helping your teammates or not. You are either encouraging or not. You are either providing a good example or not. Great teams have great teammates.

What's easy doesn't lead to success.
What's convenient doesn't lead to winning.
What's comfortable doesn't lead to championships.

If you want to separate yourself from the competition,

DO THE HARD,
INCONVENIENT, and
UNCOMFORTABLE THINGS
on a regular basis.

@MHSAA how can you justify raising admission through the playoffs $5.00 regular season, $7.00 for district, and now $9.00 for regional. Seriously, WOW!!!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

It doesn’t matter if you started last year or last month! No spot is promised. If somebody comes back from the off season & is a better player, a harder worker, more dedicated, they can/will take your spot. Playing time is earned everyday in practice. Hard work is the separator!

Being an athlete means more responsibilities:
*Clean social media
*Academic performance
*Huge time commitment
*Eating right

Being an athlete means more opportunities:
*Teammates and friendships
*Networking and career opportunities
*Life skills
*Travel and meals
*Scholarships

[Craig Doty @CoachDoty]

Great players have a chip on their shoulder.

They give their best every day and they expect the best from their teammates. They simply don’t accept average or mediocre.

Great players change the standard as they push, inspire and encourage everyone around them.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Successful athletes must have & maintain high performance habits. That means eating to fuel an athlete body, getting enough rest, plenty of water & preparing your mind & body for peak performance. It’s not a day here & a day there. It’s not a “sometimes” thing. It’s a lifestyle!

[The Coaches' Journal @TheCoachJournal]

5 Reasons to Be All In:

1. Nothing worth having comes easy.

2. You don't want to let your teammates and coaches down.

3. You represent yourself, your family, and your community.

4. The pain of regret is far worse than the pain of discipline.

5. Your legacy depends on it.
