As cruel as life might be at times, if you throw in the towel, which is what everyone will expect, then nothing good will happen and your life will fall apart. Be better than that!

You can__ be a successful leader or mentor until you have served. You can__ serve until you have stepped out of your comfort zone. And you can__ step out of your comfort zone unless you have character and keep your word.

The true measure of a person__ character is how one handles one__ failures, not successes.

How did you act when all was not good? Did you rise to the challenge? Did you display grit, resilience, and integrity in your response? Character isn't about being perfect or always doing the right thing. Character is how you respond to your own failures. It__ when you screw up and life hits you in the mouth that you have an opportunity to reveal your inner strength.

Nothing profound ever happens in your life when you remain in your comfort zone.

There is one possession that can never be taken away as long as you will not allow it to be taken, and that is your word.

We have the ability to survive anything.

It is never too late to show true character.

Approach each new day as a new opportunity to be the person you aspire to be.

Coaching doesn__ start with X__ and O__. It starts with believing that players win games and coaches win players.
