A leader can't make excuses. There has to be quality in everything you do. Off the court, on the court, in the classroom.
My father used to say that it's never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, 'You never know what you can accomplish until you try.'
I realized that if I was going to achieve anything in life I had to be aggressive. I had to get out there and go for it... I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it's an illusion to me.
Sometimes a winner is just a dreamer who never gave up.
If it turns out that my best wasn't good enough, at least I won't look back and say that I was afraid to try; failure makes me work even harder.
Nothing of value comes without being earned.
I am competing with what I am capable of.
I'd take 12 guys who had a strong passion for the game over 12 guys who don't respect the game.
Never think of the consequences of failing for you will always think of a negative result. Think only positive thoughts and your mind will gravitate towards those thoughts!
Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates
I can never stop working hard. Each day I feel that I have to improve. Hardwork...Determination...I gotta keep pushing myself.
Look me in the eye. It’s ok if you’re scared. So am I. But we are scared for different reasons. I am scared of what I won’t become. And you are scared of what I could become. Look at me. I won’t let myself end where I started. I won’t let myself finish where I began. I know what is within me, even if you can’t see it yet. Look me in the eyes. I have something more important than courage. I have patience. I will become what I know I am.
Patience. I will become what I know I am.
There was never any fear for me, no fear of failure. If I miss a shot, so what?
