Food for thought....
"Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do."
---John Wooden
"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail."
--Wayne Gretzky
"Its not the size of a man, but the size of his heart that matters."
--Evander Holyfield
"Be a gentleman at all times.
Never criticize, nag, or razz a teammate.
Be a team player always.
Never be selfish, jealous, envious, or egotistical.
Earn the right to be proud and confident.
Never expect favors, alibi or make excuses.
Never lose faith or patience.
Courtesy and politeness are a small price to pay for the good will and affection of others.
Acquire peace of mind by becoming the best that you are capable of becoming."
--From John Wooden's set of normal team expectations.
