Quotes
Competing in Sports
Competing in sports has taught me that if I’m not willing to give 120 percent, somebody else will.
Stop and Start
Stop Wishing For It.
Start Working For It.
“Disciple”
The word “disciple” means to train or to teach and is the root word for “discipline”. The goal of any disciplinary action is not to punish but to correct and change a behavior. When a athlete refuses to accept the option to change it results in levels of consequences which can eventually become, “you can no longer be part of the team”.
As much as possible, eliminate the emotion from conversations, confrontation and decisions and approach each situation with calm truth… “I am for you, we can work on this together but I will hold you accountable”.
Best Team Best Player
Its not the team with the best player that wins. Its the players with the best team that wins!!!
He Who Does Not Run
He Who Does Not Run To His Position, Will Soon Have No Position To Run To.
One Day
One Day You’ll wake up, & there won’t be anyone left to take to practice.
I will be accountable.
“I will Be accountable to God for this: What did I do with all those kids he gave me? what did I do to build his kingdom?”
When I think about Baseball
I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don’t think about it is when I’m playing it.
Hard Work
If you think practice is boring, Try sitting on the “BENCH”.
Finding ways to win.
Losers assemble in small groups and complain about the coaches and other players. Winners assemble as a team and find ways to win.
