I never dreamed about winning a national championship. What I was dreaming about was trying to produce the best basketball team we could be. My thoughts were directed toward preparation, our journey, not the results of the effort. That would simply have shifted my attention to the wrong area, hoping for something out of my control.

You must define success as making the complete effort to maximize your ability, skills, and potential in whatever circumstances—good or bad—may exist.

Condition Your Team to Love the Struggle.

Sometime you can do everything right and still lose. It's all a journey. You do your best, and then you have to let it go. Lots of people preach that, but come crunch time—oops, not so easy to do.

DON'T MISTAKE ACTIVITY FOR ACHIEVEMENT

Make Every Day Your Masterpiece!

Peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you're capable.

Try your hardest in all ways and you are a success.

You never fail if you know in your heart that you did the best of which you are capable. I did my best. That is all I could do.

any change that comes about in your life will be primarily because of your own efforts
