Do the Bulls have any players left?

Coach Scheyer: “One of our standards was do your best. And doing your best wasn’t about playing your best, making the most shots, it’s about giving your best effort, it’s about giving your best attitude, and having your best focus. We don’t play for a score, we play to do our best….It has to come from the players. As a coach you can say whatever you want but at the end of the day your players are the ones that has to own it.” (via @DukeATHLETICS)

OH MY GAWD!!!!!

PLAYERS: When you're on the bench, you never know when Coach will put you into the game. It is important to be an active observer, stay mentally (and physically) ready, and learn as much as you can by watching. Don't make mistakes that a teammate might have previously made.

If your coach holds you accountable, you are VERY fortunate. A lot of coaches accept their players doing whatever they want, whenever they want with no consequences. Discipline/responsibility/accountability are life prep! If your coach cares that much, you’re lucky so respect it!

PLAYERS: If you want to stand out or gain an advantage, do the work that others refuse to do. Fill a need on your team. Find ways to be valuable. Excel at the little things. Come early. Stay later. Do a little bit extra.

Excuses are for people who don't want it bad enough. Excuses never get you closer to your goals.

Her jump from freshman to sophomore year has been insane to watch. Plus watching her grow into a great leader!

Highlights from the first half of my sophomore season! Can’t wait for the rest of the season! | 15.4PPG | 8.5RPG | @LadyOwlsBball @WisconsinLakers

"That's what separates great from average. It's what attention to detail do you have. Can you do the simple things better? Do you get bored with the simple things? You can't get bored with the simple things because they're what makes you different."

Take responsibility for your effort. Take responsibility for your attitude. Take responsibility for your mindset. Take responsibility for your habits. Take responsibility for your emotions. Take responsibility for your leadership. Take responsibility. You control you.

Your body language is a billboard for your mental toughness and maturity.

As an athlete, take on the responsibility of being a leader. If there’s an opportunity to lead, take it. Don’t just rely on your coaches to lead the team. Do your part too!

EXTRA reps will make the difference.
