"Success is peace of mind that is the direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming."

Talking Points:

  • Don’t try to be better than someone else. Your position in relation to someone else is out of your personal control.
  • Always try to be the best you can be. You are your only competition; just do your best and let the results take care of themselves.
  • “You are the only one who knows whether you have won.” No one can judge your success better than you can – both on and off the field.
