At times, it's essential to acknowledge the victories along the path. These small wins build up, leading to profound transformation. As Jim Rohn said, 'Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals.'

I spent some time this weekend learning from some stellar thinkers and leaders. A quote I want to share that I’m taking into this week: You can’t change the seasons, but you can change yourself!

“Uncommon Favor.” ~ Dawn Staley…

This spoke to many today. Dawn spoke a sermon in victory.

Coach Staley has been a legend of the game. Her words in victory rang true to me: God moves us in purpose if we are willing to adhere. Accountability from the players & parents is a must for team & personal success. Legends are born when the emphasis is on personal development.
