There’s More To Winning Than Being The 1st Team To 30…….

  • You must always have faith in yourself and your teammates
    • Without believing in something larger than yourself the game is player in vain
  • “Play Hard; Play Together; Play Smart”
    • Univ. of North Carolina’s “process” under legendary men’s basketball coach Dean Smith
  • Demonstrate the 2 “D’s” and the 2 “P’s”
    • Discipline
    • Desire
    • Purpose
    • Pride
  • Never try to guess what your opponents going to do. Rather, read and play.
  • Care about your teammates
  • Do things SMARTER not HARDER
  • Understand the difference between being “aggressive” and playing “reckless”
  • Frustrate your opponents without letting them frustrate you
    • Take away your opponents strengths and then take away their auxiliary motives
  • Be committed to out working and out communicating your opponent
  • Be completely ABSORBED by the game
  • Mistakes represent lessons to be learned, not things to be afraid of
  • The moment should always carry more importance and weight than the past and the future combined
  • Understand the two types of winners
    • 1st – Those individuals who want to win, but are not willing to go through with it
    • 2nd – Those individuals who want to win and have the courage, the heart, and the discipline to help their teams succeed
  • “Just Play”
