The toughest thing about being a leader is showing up every day and competing at your highest level possible. Great leaders aren’t immune to bad days; however, their work ethic and level of competitiveness never wavers.

At some point, you have to decide you are going to maximize your opportunity.....whatever that is. But it has to be every day....every session & no matter what ‘mood’ you are in. #MiddleOfThePackOrFrontOfPack

Only a man who knows what its like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with that extra ounce of power. – Muhammad Ali

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

Parents: Learning to fight through adversity is a skill that some adults are taking away from this generation of kids. Failing is inevitable & necessary. Without it, growth is impossible. You can’t protect them from it, so teach them how to respond to it. It’s crucial to success.

Playing time isn’t always given to the best players. Sometimes it’s more important to fill a role on the court.

GREAT PLAYERS: Average players are going to snicker, laugh and make fun of your work ethic. LET'EM. That's why they're average. Keep going.

Can’t thank @DeanSeanmdean and all of the volunteers for another successful Lil’ Devils Basketball Tournament. Ran so well both days. We are lucky to have you in our program. Thank you! #BlueDevilPride

Ran into a bind and look who steps up to help officiate! @RoyWebbQPS Criticised on social media more than most... hope it wasn’t that bad on the court. Thanks for all you do!! #BlueDevilPride
