This was recently posted by my friend Tony Foti, assistant coach at Middle Tennessee State University. I don’t know if Tony wrote it himself or shared it when he found it but I thought it deserved special mention;
“Some students claim they want to be successful but can’t remember to bring a pencil or book to class…
Some athletes claim they want to be the best but they ‘forget’ their workout clothes or gym shoes…
When was the last time you ‘forgot’ your cell phone at home?”
It’s all about priorities. What you really value you commit to. No excuses and no explanations.
