Preparation drives confidence. Preparation drives performance. Preparation drives progress. Preparation creates separation. Prepare physically. Prepare mentally. Do the work.

1 SECOND often separates winning from losing. 1 INCH often separates winning from losing. 1 LEADER often separates winning from losing. Be the athlete that gives your team that 1 SECOND 1 INCH 1 LEADER that is the difference between winning and losing.

If you want things to get better, start with you. Don’t wait for things to change, be the change.

Resilience doesn’t come from success, it comes from the struggle. It comes from failing, getting knocked down, experiencing doubt. It comes from choosing to get up, to battle, to press on. Don’t avoid the struggle. Lean into it, learn from it, use it, get stronger because of it.

Adversity is inevitable. Growth is optional. Own your mindset.

For every goal you have, there is a necesary process. Goal clarity is important, but process clarity is just as important. Commitment to the goal provides motivation. Commitment to the process produces results. The outcome you get is determined by how you work the process.

"Until you are a champion in life,you will never win a championship. If you aren't willing to do what it takes in the classroom,study hall,or in the strength and conditioning program, you will never be successful;it doesn’t matter how talented you are" @GregMcElroy @DilfersDimes

Success that people see comes from tireless effort that they don’t see. It’s the work behind the scenes that makes the difference. Keep going.

“Don’t expect greatness today. It’s a journey to greatness. Where are you today? Where are you tomorrow? And how does it measure up to where you are trying to go?”@dawnstaley Do your efforts match your expectations? If not, you must increase efforts or your lower expectations

"Your mark is what you do when you don’t want to do it. How good are you on a day when you don’t have it? Can you push yourself that day? That’s a mark of your character."-Bob Hurley Sr You're not measured by your effort on your best days, but by your effort on your worst days.

There’s no such thing as an overnight success. From The Carpenter.

The struggle is where you develop and discover your strength. Lean in. Do the work. One step at a time.

“I knew there were hundreds of thousands of kids doing the same thing, and they were not going to take that opportunity from me. I was willing to do more than anybody else was willing to do. You get one chance to do something special-don’t waste it. ” @MichaelPhelps

Everyone says they want to win a CHAMPIONSHIP. But to get there you have to love the grind, the practices, the training, the discomfort, the turmoil, the candid conversations, the drudgery, the growth. YOU MUST EMBRACE THE CHALLENGES THAT LEAD TO CHAMPIONSHIPS! #CultureWins

If the standard is optional it isn’t the standard. Commitment > Convenience

"Greatness is a lot of small things done well. Day after day. Workout after workout. Effort is between you and you. Nobody else can give you effort. Effort is what is inside. " @raylewis @MiamiHurricanes

How you handle adversity is a choice. You can let it beat you and defeat you. Or you can let it fire you and inspire you. You choose - but choose wisely... #CultureWins
