"History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats."

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all-time thing. You don't
win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you
do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so
is losing."

--Vince Lombardi (1913-1970)
 
"It is not the critic who counts; not the one who points out how the strong person stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust, sweat, and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, who knows the great devotion, who spends one's self in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and who at worst, if failing while daring greatly, knows his or her place shall never be with those timid and cold souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt

And folks that "critic" he's talking about, the one who doesn't count? That's us. It is our coaches and players who are in the arena. Modesty and self-awareness, if nothing else, should lead us to support them.

Thanks, Aiken Jacket

BeeWare, totally agree on this principal. Good habits and bad habits are learned. If we have good teachers, good habits will follow, if we have poor teachers, poor habits will follow.
