“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose faces is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly…” -- Theodore Roosevelt | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Essentially there are two actions in life: performance and excuses. Make a decision as to which you will accept from yourself and those you manage. People fail in direct proportion to their willingness to accept socially acceptable excuses for failure." -- Author Unknown | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "If you are good at making excuses, you will never be good at anything else." -- Clay Winbaugh | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Membership in a great group isn't a day job; it is a night and day job." -- Author Unknown | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Someone once said, “The effort is not in the doing, but in
the deciding.” I am not sure,
but I think it is a little of both.
Regardless, whoever said it was making a good point – particularly
for those of us who procrastinate about things.
Sometimes we struggle with the thought of doing something that,
when we finally decide to do it, the deed really wasn’t that difficult. It was just deciding whether we really wanted
it or not. I think this relates
so much to athletics and all phases of life.
I believe in goal setting… and dreaming.
If we are not truly inspired – motivated to pursue those dreams
– they don’t happen. It is all
out there for us if we get committed to go get it! Let’s go out there
and get after it – Coach Bodnar, “Tough Is Not Enough” |

who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough
to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending
in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.” |
