Inspiration

“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

“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

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

“There is no perfect technique or optimum tactics. It is what works for that individual or team, it is a constant moving target, a constant search that is ever changing and never ending. Good coaching focuses on the process and guides the athlete accordingly.

“Make someone smile today. Tell them how much they mean to you. You’ll both feel good.”

“You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live and learn. You’re human, not perfect. You’ve been hurt but, you’re alive – to breath to think, to enjoy, and chase the things you love. Sometimes there is sadness in our journey but, there is also lots of joy. We must keep putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt. For we will never know what is waiting for us around the bend.”

– unknown

“A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.”

– unknown

“Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish them.”

– unknown

“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.”

“Practice is the battle you must win.”

– Hugh Mccutcheon
