inspires you here:

"In Northeast Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for what you have." - LeBron James

If you believe in yourself, have dedication and pride and never quit, you'll be a winner.

It is during our failures that we discover our true desire for success.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of being.

Well done is better than well said.

You'll forget — the wins & losses
You'll forget — the halftime talks
You'll forget — the ups and downs
BUT YOU'LL NEVER FORGET YOUR TEAMMATES
