Take Your Victories, Whatever They May Be,

I Could Sit There And Eat Pasta All Day Long And Not Worry About It When I Was Younger, And Now I Really Have To Focus On Making Sure I Set A Good Example For My Kids.

I Learned A Long Time Ago That There Is Something Worse Than Missing The Goal, And That's Not Pulling The Trigger.

Somewhere Behind The Athlete You've Become And The Hours Of Practice And The Coaches Who Have Pushed You Is A Little Girl Who Fell In Love With The Game And Never Looked Back... Play For Her.

When Players Go Out And Train On Their Own, They Usually Do It At Half Speed. This Kind Of Training Is Valuable, But It Doesn't Prepare You For Competition, Where You Must Perform At Full Throttle. So The Trick Is To Schedule Regular Sessions Of Intense Practice, While Always Leaving Time To Juggle And Generally Goof Around With The Ball

Take Your Victories, Whatever They May Be, Cherish Them, Use Them, But Don't Settle For Them.
