As you continue your high school and middle school seasons think about this quote. If you have ever played for me you know that I love winning. (I don't know that anyone else loves it more than me.) But sometimes playing your BEST and winning do not align in the stars. It is more that you have the desire to want to win. For example, when we scrimmage our older power teams we aren't always going into it to win but playing our hearts out and fighting for that win!
I think about this quote a lot during our tryouts. When it comes to tryouts some talented players want to know why they got cut or placed on lower level teams. When I pick my teams I look for the player who WANTS to be better who WANTS to win. We run into players who think they are great or that they DESERVE to win. This mentality is cancerous to a team and that is why I prefer to take a player that has more heart.
This quote can be used in all areas of life... Think about it...
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Lauren Sands
