“Ignorance is the absence of knowledge. Stupidity is the presence of knowledge and the refusal to use it.”

– Paulo Coelho

“Enjoy the little things in life because one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.”

“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

“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.”

“The one thing that you have that no one else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live only as you can.”

“When we have a clear sense of where we’re going, we can be more flexible in how we get there.”

“Practice is the battle you must win.”

– Hugh Mccutcheon

“To build a strong team you must see someone else’s strength as a complement to your weakness not a threat to your position or authority.”

– Christine Caine

“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

“Ultimately, it comes down to you learning you. You becoming your own coach. You being able to recognize the adjustments you need to make. You learning right from wrong. You taking care of your body. You preparing for your next game and you being responsible and accountable for all your actions and choices. It’s on you!”

– Baseball Dudes

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

– Max Depree

“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be content.”

– Shawn Humphries (Elite Performance Systems)
