MESSAGE #1573 PERSEVERANCE
By perseverance the snail reached the ark.
You may not be a snail, but you still need to persist.
If your goal is to make your high school baseball team, or become a chocolatier, it doesn’t matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.
One of the biggest problems people have is that they stop too soon. Then they try something else. And probably stop too soon with that as well.
If you persist while others give up when they face adversity, or get frustrated, guess who’s going to be left at the top?
YOU.
Don’t try your best, do whatever it takes.

As coaches, athletes, students and professionals, one of our greatest challenges is staying in the present moment. For many athletes, the season is a long one. So what do you do to help ensure that you focus on quality, not quantity? That’s easy, remember this quote from Muhammad Ali:
Don’t count the days, make the days count.

MESSAGE #1487 HANG ON ‘TIL YOU CATCH ON
Everyone knows Tony Robbins, the self-help guru who built a peak performance empire.
Did you know when Tony Robbins was younger, he washed his dishes in his bathtub because he didn’t have a working kitchen sink?
See, you don’t need to be great at the start, but you need to start to be great. You may not be washing dishes in your bathtub, but if you’re reading this, I know you want to get better. In sports, we often have a little negative voice inside our heads: “I can’t do this” or “I can’t do that.” When we hear this little negative voice, we should accept it, let it go and continue on our path of hard work and constant improvement.
I don’t care where you are…I care where you want to be.
MESSAGE #1476 A MESSAGE FROM EINSTEIN
I am sitting here in my office, just a few miles from downtown Princeton, where Albert Einstein used to call home. I often drive by his house and think about his philosophy and work. Here is my Einstein quote of the day:
I must be willing to give up what I am in order to become what I will be.
Do you want to be comfortable, or do you want to be great?
Be comfortable being uncomfortable.
