"To be successful, to be great, the thing people have in common, they realize they really don't have a choice. There is one way-the right way-the hard way. There are no shortcuts. You have to be willing to do something that somebody else isn't willing to do." Coach Kirby Smart

College sports aren't for the faint of heart. If you are going to college thinking play time is given and not earned you're wrong! If your coach isn't looking for someone to replace you he or she isn't doing their job. Good enough is not good enough! #BEGREAT

Success doesn't come from desire. Success comes from discipline. To achieve greatness, the end goal must mean enough to endure the journey it takes to get there. Tim Tebow

At the college level and on if you don’t love the process. Hitting the gym, practices, cage work, fungo, bullpens, conditioning…. You can throw results out the window

Stop spending so much time worrying about what other people think of you. It doesn’t matter how much other people know you. What matters is how much YOU know you.

It is super easy to give in to cynicism re: college sports. But for every questionable character & bureaucratic issue there are countless people like retiring Scott Berry. BTW he also won 500 games, 10 conference/tourney titles and a regional Sports Emmy.

"I never seen a team win a championship with zero talent. However, I have seen a lot of really talented teams never win a championship. Why? Because you have a bunch of individuals - not playing for each other - not connected. Connected teams are powerful teams." Steve Jones

"It was never anybody imposing 'my rule' on somebody. It was all of us imposing and living our standards." -Coach K Success isn't just about individual accountability. It's also about shared accountability-working together to achieve & holding each other to a higher standard.

"You have an obligation to compete - to really really compete. This is an equal opportunity team. When you prove you can do something, you will get an opportunity to do it." -Geno Auriemma You need to be earning it or focusing on learning it. Every day.

"Champions do daily what everybody else does occasionally. You are not extraordinary.  You just do the ordinary-extra. That's what separates you." Master the mundane. The difference isn't in being extraordinary—it's in doing the ordinary things with extraordinary consistency.
