Motivational Quotes



Greetings! This graph I am sharing with you is one I've had with me for a few years. This is one to share with your teammates. As you will see all throughout life, that it does not matter what level of sports you play (or for myself, what title I carry at my workplace). You have to put in the time everyday in order to excel in your craft. You need to be surrounded by people that are equal to or a grade above yourself in order to improve your game. Their Work Habits become Contagious. Having great examples to follow in your locker room are lessons that will one day help advance your career.

I have never forgotten the story I once read where J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans shared his dad's philosophy when he was playing football in high school and college: 

"When you walk out that door, Act like Somebody today! With every practice, with every workout, it has to be like your Super Bowl!”

Be that difference maker too OK! Sending my best! Jim

“Build up your Weaknesses until they become your Strong Points” – stated by Knute Rockne, College Football Coaching Legend

-------------------------------------

We all have three blocks of time in our lives: YESTERDAY, TODAY and TOMORROW! Yesterday is a canceled check. We can never get it back! Don't let Yesterday take up too much of Today! Today is YOURS! Invest it wisely. However you use it, whatever you do with it, Today is a Down Payment on your Tomorrow!

-------------------------------------

A TEAMMATES CREED

Don't wait for time. Make it.
Don't wait for the path. Find it.
Don't wait for opportunity. Create it.
Don't settle for less. Be the best.
Don't compare. Be unique.
Don't fight your misfortune. Transform it.
Don't avoid failure. Use it.
Don't dwell on mistake. Learn from it.

Motivational Story - The Process

Image
For this piece, I am going to dip into the movie industry to illustrate the point about the “PROCESS”, a term every athlete hears and has engraved in the back of his or her mind on a yearly basis when competing in team sports? This will show you that no matter the sport or the profession or regardless of your experience, that you have to be totally prepared before the lights ever get turned on in order to achieve the results necessary to advance in your trade? So let's look at the Process Hollywood actor Rami Malek subjected himself to when he got the leading role in “Bohemian Rhapsody” where he played legendary frontman Freddie Mercury of the famed rock band QUEEN back in 2018. This actor took an entire year to learn every single aspect about Mercury’s life and left no stone unturned. He quickly took up residence in London where much of the movie would be filmed and had himself fitted for prosthetic dentures to replicate the unique bucked teeth and shape of Mercury’s mouth. He ...

  For this piece, I encourage you to set aside five minutes in your day to watch this fantastic video we are sharing from Tom Brady , the 7-time Super Bowl winning NFL quarterback! He takes time to tell you his secrets about reaching your Dreams. Tom talks about how as an athlete, he was not blessed with the physical traits that scouts seek in a prospect.

He will tell you that he had to find other traits to help him achieve his Dreams … traits like discipline, work effort and perseverance to overcome skills that he might have been lacking.

Motivational Story - Never Give Up on Your Dream

Image
I was watching some reruns of the old “X Games” on cable television and admiring the daredevil skills of the guys and gals involved in Snowboarding. When I did some research, I came across a story on one of the past athletes I wanted to share that was about the ultimate in desire and perseverance to pursue a childhood dream. This tells the story about Justin Reiter , then age 33, who was chosen for the Alpine Snowboard team that would compete in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. This piece is not going to be about the Olympic result but rather the incredible Mission he took to get there! Justin left home in California at age 18 to make the move to Colorado so that he could train and race against the best competition in the U.S. and around the world. Twice he would fall short in his first two attempts to make the Olympic team at the trials; once because of injury in 2006 and the other by just one qualifying spot in 2010. Before you read further, know that for most of the U.S....
