THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

DATE


CONSIDERATIONS


The harder you work, the luckier you will get.

The ecstasy of victory is often due to the monotony of repetition.

Good athletes find a way; losers find an excuse.

Nobody ever became a ballplayer by walking after the ball.

If what you did yesterday still looks big, you haven’t done much today.

Players who aren’t self-starters shouldn’t blame the coach for being a crank.

It’s great to be a happy loser, but far better to be a humble winner.

Winning is the second step; wanting to win is the first.

Playing to win is not doing what you like, but liking what you do.

Winners love to do the things that losers hate to do.

Winners don’t count the breaks; they make the breaks count.

Winning is unimportant, unless the opponent is doing it.

The main ingredient to stardom is the rest of the team.



Success is never final and failure is never fatal.
