A Motivational Idea for
Your Club or School
-From Dave Cross
Recently my 17A team played in a tournament at Premier VBC's
facility in Maumee, Ohio.
It's a very nice facility with six wood courts that has been around
for quite a while now.
They have done something with the facility that caught my eye and I
wanted to let you in
on it. Maybe you have your own facility. Or, maybe you are
at a school that might like
this idea.
All around the place on the walls they have placed the following motivational
sayings in
big, red letters. They aren't painted on, It looks like
they had these printed out in stick-on
letters of some sort-and they did a very nice job of applying them because,
from a distance
they look just like they were painted on. And, they are big enough
to read easily from across
the gym.
What a great way to keep positive thoughts in
the heads of your players as they practice
or workout!
Remember: Our thoughts shape our actions! And, if you are constantly
reading a motivational
saying, it becomes just like a self-affirmation of sorts!
Even if you don't have a facility you could use this idea at, (what about the walls in the varsity
locker room?), they are still very
good "food for thought":
-Only the mediocre are always at their best.
-Good is not good enough if better is expected.
-Let your style of play be your signature on the game.
-What it takes to win is simple, but not easy.
-You learn from trying, you win by doing.
-Ability is what you are capable of; attitude determines how well you
do it.
-Limits begin where vision ends.
-With talent comes competition.
-Over prepare so you can?t underperform.
-Excellence is the relentless commitment to improve.
-Do all the little things your competition fails to do.
-I believe a champion wins in his mind first and then he plays the game.
-Nothing great in this gym has ever been accomplished without passion.
-Motivation determines what you do.
-What the fans want is simple; they want a game as good as its promised.
-Discipline yourself so that others don?t need to.
