Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you

Mindset
If you take two people, one of them is a learn-it-all and the other one is a know-it-all, the learn-it-all will always trump the know-it-all in the long run

Care
Your circumstances can lead you to believe God doesn’t care but your history will prove that he does.
– Pete Wilson
If You Accept It, Expect It
If the player lines up two yards over the start line in sprints and you do not correct him, do not jump his butt when he does it in the game . …If you do not correct the offensive lineman in practice for holding, do not bitch at the official for calling it in the game. If you accept it, you should expect it in the games, and that is on the coach.

Preparation
Everyone has the will to win, that’s almost an ordinary trait, who doesn’t want to win? But very few have the will to prepare to win.
