There once was a woman who woke up one morning,
Looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today?"
So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up,
Looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
"H-M-M," she said,
"I think I'll part my hair down the middle today?"
So she did and she had a grand day.
The next day she woke up,
Looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head.
"Well," she said,
"today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail."
So she did and she had a fun, fun day.
The next day she woke up,
Looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.
"YEA!" she exclaimed,
"I don't have to fix my hair today!"
Attitude is everything.
Be kinder than necessary,
For everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly.......
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

DEFINING EXCELLENCE
Excellence is never an accident. It is achieved in a “Team” only as a result of an unrelenting and vigorous insistence on the highest standards of performance. It requires an unswerving expectancy of quality from the coaches and players.
Excellence is contagious. It infects and affects everyone on the team. It charts the direction of the program. It establishes the criteria for planning. It provides zest and vitality to the team. Once achieved, excellence has a talent for permeating every aspect of the life of the team.
Excellence demands commitment and a tenacious dedication from the leadership of the team. Once it is accepted and expected, it must be nourished and continually reviewed and renewed. It is never ending process of striving and searching. It requires a spirit of mission and boundless energy. It is always the result of a creatively conceived and precisely planned effort.
Excellence inspires. It electrifies. It empowers every phase of the organization’s life. It unleashes an impact, which influences every program, every activity, every player, and every coach. To instill it in an organization is difficult: to sustain it, even more so. It demands adaptability, imagination and vigor. But most of all, it requires from the leadership of the “Team” a constant state of self-discovery and discipline.
Excellence must be our “Teams” lifeline. It energizes a stimulating and pulsating force (One Heart Beat). Excellence as an athlete is important…. Because it is everything.
