Once there, here are some selected examples of tweets over the past week. Hope you find something that inspires you here:

Don't Talk; →Act
Don't Say; →Show
Don't Promise; →Prove

Champions behave like champions before they’re champions; they have a winning standard of performance before they are winners. –

Winning doesn't make you a better person, but being a better person will make you a winner.

To reach your own goals and dreams, you must learn how to assist others in reaching theirs.

Play the right way’ means play unselfishly, respect each others achievements, play hard, fulfill your role. – Gregg Popovich
