      “For me, winning isn’t something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream.” ~ Emmitt Smith

          “I’m not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.” ~ Michael Jordan

            “Practice works because practice gives us a chance to relax enough to make smart choices.” ~ Seth Godin

              “The harder I train, the quicker I get, the quicker I get, the slower the game, the slower the game, the more plays I make, the more plays I make, the more attention I get, the more attention I get, the more they try to stop me, the more they try to stop me, the harder I train.” ~ Unknown

                “Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn’t let them down, because you told them the truth. And that truth is that you did everything that you could. There wasn’t one more thing that you could’ve done. Can you live in that moment, as best you can, with clear eyes and love in your heart? With joy in your heart? If you can do that, gentlemen, then you’re perfect.” via Friday Night Lights

                  “Sport is where an entire life can be compressed into a few hours, where the emotions of a lifetime can be felt on an acre or two of ground, where a person can suffer and die and rise again on six miles of trails through a New York City park. Sport is a theater where sinner can turn saint and a common man become an uncommon hero, where the past and the future can fuse with the present. Sport is singularly able to give us peak experiences where we feel completely one with the world and transcend all conflicts as we finally become our own potential.” ~ Dr. George Sheehan

                              “The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You’ve got to keep on working that talent. Someday I’ll reach for it and it won’t be there.” ~ Irving Berlin

                                 “Somewhere he is out there training and I’m not. And when we meet, he will win.” ~ Tim Tebow

                                  “Training for strength and flexibility is a must.  You must use it to support your techniques.  Techniques alone are no good if you don’t support them with strength and flexibility.” ~ Bruce Lee

                                    “You can map out a fight plan or a life plan, but when the action starts, it may not go the way you planned, and you’re down to your reflexes – your training.  That’s where your roadwork shows.  If you cheated on that in the dark of morning, you’re getting found out now, under the bright lights.” ~ Joe Frazier

                                      “Working hard becomes a habit, a serious kind of fun. You get self-satisfaction from pushing your self to the limit, knowing that all the effort is going to pay off.” ~ Mary Lou Retton

                                        “Landing on your butt twenty thousand times is where great performance comes from.” ~ Geoff Colvin

                                          “Progress is built, in effect, upon the foundations of necessary failure.  That is the essential paradox of expert performance.” ~ Matthew Syed
