“We talk about how to have success, how to prepare properly and what it takes to win but something I wish I would have learned sooner in life was hot to process failure. How to handle it when it happens. How to use it as a learning moment. For quicker long term success, FAIL UP!”

– Baseball Dudes (twitter)

“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will; When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low and the debts are high; And you want to smile but you have to sigh. When all is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don’t you quit; Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint on the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are; It may be near when it seems far. So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.”

– John Greenleaf Whittier

“I can’t change the directions of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”

– Jimmy Dean

“Telling an athlete, student, employee, what they are doing wrong is a huge mental error in performance. The power of thinking about what NOT to do pollutes the brain with the picture and idea of missing, not completing, and filling it with what you want to avoid. Language is powerful that even a hint of what you are trying to avoid can be fateful.”

– Shawn Humphries (twitter)

“Self-control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don’t allow other to control the directions of your life. Don’t allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.”

– Morgan Freeman

“We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are.”

– Max Depree

“Your mind is an instrument, learn to be it’s master, not it’s slave.”

– unknown

“Golf is a compromise between what your ego wants you to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do.”

– Bruce Crampton
