You can’t practice halfway and then expect to compete successfully at full speed. It doesn't translate; you have to practice exactly the way you plan to play.

We often hear people say, “I work smart, so I don't have to work hard.” Well, I'm here to tell you— successful people do both. They work smart and they work hard. I've never seen a successful person that didn't work hard.

It’s not about what happens to you that’s important… it’s who you choose to become as a result of what happens to you that really matters.

You don't achieve excellence—you continue to strive for it. And every time you think you've achieved it, you need to raise the bar on yourself, or someone else will raise it for you.
