Our Deepest Fear....

Inspired thoughts by Marianne Willamson:

1. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure!!!

2. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

2. We were all meant to shine!

3. When we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

4. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

I want to Thank all of my coaches and teachers who believed in me and inspired me to strive for excellence. Your guidance has helped me to succeed both on and off the court:

Laura Lebeouf, Susan Touchet (RIP), Bubba Herbert, Ricky Brailey, Sue Gunter (RIP), Bob Starkey, Pokey Chatman, Paula Lee.

Don't Make Excuses.....Become Legendary!

The Essential Qualities of a Team Player by John C. Maxwell

1. Adaptable—If you won’t change for the team, the team may change you

Adaptable people are:
Teachable
Emotionally secure
Creative
Service minded


2. Collaborative—Working together precedes winning together

Becoming a collaborative team player requires a change in focus in four areas:
Perception: See teammates as collaborators, not competitors
Attitude: Be supportive, not suspicious, of teammates
Focus: Concentrate on the team, not yourselfResults: Create victories through multiplication


3. Committed—There are no halfhearted champions

Some things every team player needs to know about being committed:
Commitment usually is discovered in the midst of adversity
Commitment does not depend on gifts or abilities
Commitment comes as the result of choice, not conditions
Commitment lasts when it’s based on values


4. Communicative—A team is many voices with a single heart

Communicative players:
Do not isolate themselves from others
Make it easy for teammates to communicate with them
Follow the twenty-four-hour rule (don’t let any difficulty or conflict with a teammate go more than twenty-four hours without addressing it)
Give attention to potentially difficult relationships
Follow up on important communication in writing

5. Dependable—Teams go to go-to players

The essence of dependability:
1. Pure motives
2. Responsibility
3. Sound thinkingConsistent contribution
