Expect Excellence

One of the things that I love about teaching and coaching is seeing student athletes accomplish things that they have never done before. The process of teaching players to believe in their teammates. Talking to students about doing their best! Helping students maximize their potential. Each year in football we have players that do not make it through the first week because mentally they have never expected excellence of themselves. If you are going to be successful, then you must expect excellence. You must have a vision! I can remember as a Senior varsity basketball player our team had visions of winning a Sectional Championship. Prior to the tournament we went to each of the Senior players house and practiced cutting down the nets in the driveway. This helped us to focus on our goal. That year when we won the Sectional it was not a surprise to us. As I was climbing the ladder in the gym after the game it felt like I had already experienced the moment.

Expecting Excellence means that you have the confidence to work hard and prepare everyday for the goal you have envisioned!
