Players should want coaches to be hard on them. One way to tell a great player: How they react to being pushed. – Steve Nash - former NBA player

Don’t succumb to excuses. Go back to the job of making the corrections and forming the habits that will make your goal possible.
Working hard is one thing, but working hard with purpose is what separates the good from the great. – Thad Matta - Ohio St. bball coach
Losers let failure defeat them. Winners let failure inspire them.
