WORK

Whenever you start – give it your best. The opportunities are there to be anything you want to be. But wanting to be someone isn’t enough; dreaming about it isn’t enough; thinking about it isn’t enough. You’ve got to study for it, work for it, fight for it with all your heart and soul, because nobody is going to hand it to you.
General Colin Powell

Developing Vision

The first step in creating an improved future is developing the ability to envision it.
• Vision will ignite the fire of passion, which fuels our commitment to do whatever it takes to achieve excellence.
• Vision allows us to transform dreams of greatness into the reality of achievement through human action.
• Vision has no boundaries and knows no limits. Our vision is what we become in life.

What is your vision? What do you see happening in the near future? Conference Champs??? State Champs??? What do you want?

- Put what is best for the team before yourself.



IOO
Inside Over Outside
-The person you are inside is more important than what people see on the outside.

Long Term Over Short Term
- Make good decisions based on your goals and character not on what may feel good or bad at the moment.

Before we WIN we need to make sure we know why we are playing...Here is our Mission West Tigers.

~What's Important Now~

Promise Yourself…

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true
To think only of the best
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future
To share the greater achievements of the future
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others
To be too large for worry, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble

If we Promise ourselves these things we will be able to TRUST OURSELVES in the tough times

The Man Who Thinks He Can

If you think you’re beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind.

Full many a race is lost
Ere ever a step is run,
And many a coward fails
Ere ever his work’s begun.
Think big, and your deeds will grow;
Think small and you’ll fall behind.
Think that you can, and you will;
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you’re outclassed, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.
It’s all in the state of mind!
Walter D. Wintle

We need to ask ourselves where our heads are. Are you the guy who thinks we CAN!? I am one of those guys who thinks we CAN...
