Every Day" by Lou Holtz
A
Last Word from the Locker Room
Throughout my career; I have tried to teach life rather than football.
I believe everyone has the potential to be a champion. As you enter a
new phase of your existence, treat it as if it were a game. It should
be enjoyed not feared, fun not work, played not endured, a reward rather
than a punishment. There will be times when everything goes smoothly.
There will be other moments when you feel as if you are climbing straight
up Mount Everest while wearing combat boots. Whatever happens, don't deviate
from your game plan.:
1. Maintain a positive attitude
2. Welcome adversity as a learning experience.
3. Act boldly; go for the big play when you're behind.
4. Review your fundamentals; eliminate any shortcuts.
5. Think WIN!
6. Adapt to change.
7. Give your best effort at all times.
8. Willingly make the sacrifices that winning demands.
9. Consider both sides of your three questions.
10. Remind yourself that the difference between champ and chump is U.
And remember the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes: "What lies behind you, and what lies ahead of you is of very little importance when it is compared to what lies within you." If love trust and commitment lie within you, yours will be a happier, more productive life. No matter what obstacles confront you, you will will find a way to win. Every day.
