The 4 A's of Success:
  1)  Academics.
  2)  Athletics.
  3)  Attitude.
  4)  Achievement.

What do you do with a mistake: recognize it, admit it, learn from it.

A team will always appreciate a great individual if he's willing to sacrifice for the group.

Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.

Competitors take bad breaks and use them to drive themselves. Quitters take bad breaks & use them as reasons to give up.
