We are not measured by our intentions but by our actions.Channel your efforts towards things you can change. Great effort can overcome poor execution.Success is cumulative and progressive. So is failure. It is the result of what you do every day. If you want to win in the future, you must win the grind today.Elite performance requires elite preparation.Fail often but fail forwards.You will play like you practice. You can't practice on autopilot and play with purpose. How you compete in practice will determine how you compete in games.You never know when your opportunity will come. The key is to be prepared.Trust is belief in the reliability of a person. It is confidence that you can count on a person.
