Are usually too small
To be felt until they
Are too strong to be
Broken.

As if it was your last,
Someday you'll most
Certainly be right.

Under his feet.

The seeds in an apple,
but only God can count
The number of apples
In a seed.

Never give enough is love.

We can offer anyone is
Our attention.

Those we love, they will
Bloom like flowers.

Do with what you are
Expecting to get…
Only with what you
Are expecting to give…
Which is everything.

Continue to fight until the
Very end.

Self Awareness + Passion
+ Discipline + Coach-ability
= Confidence
- Alan Stein Jr.
Average players worry about
What their coach is doing,
What their teammates are doing,
And what their opponent is doing,
Even what the referee is doing!
Great player’s process feedback
From each of those domains.
But they spend each play and
Practice session focusing on what
They’re doing and how they process
What is happening.
The work on their effort and attitude.
- Alan Stein Jr.
I’ve been fortunate to
Meet with some of the
All-time great coaches,
And one common thread
That links all of them is
That they are never the
Kind of people who are
Out for themselves.
They are connectors,
Givers and sharers.
They are servants to
Their players.
- Alan Stein Jr.

Don't hold to anger,
Hurt or pain.

And keep you from love.

Do not keep the alabaster boxes
Of your love and tenderness
Sealed up until your friends
Are dead.
Fill their lives with sweetness,
Speak cheering words while their
Ears can hear, and while their
Hearts can be thrilled and made
Happier by them.

Tenderness and kindness
Are not signs of weakness
And despair,
But manifestations of
Strength and resolutions.

In the final analysis
There is no solution
To man's progress
But the day's honest
Work, the day's honest
Decisions, the days
Generous utterances
And the day's good deed.

No one, but he who has
Partaken thereof, can
Understand the keen
Delight of hunting in
Lonely lands.
For him is the joy of
The horse well ridden
And the rifle well held;
For him the long days
Of toil and hardship,
Resolutely endured,
And crowned at the
End with triumph.
- Theodore Roosevelt

Dwell on disappointments.

Move on to the next task
Applying the lessons they
Have learned.

Interfere with your destiny.
Learn from your past so
That it can empower your
Present and propel you to
Greatness.

To make me happy or unhappy
Today.
I can choose which it shall be.

The hard way was that it
Doesn’t pay to get discouraged.

In yourself.

What do we want to be known for?
Our job as leaders is to shrink the gap.

Remember that the tone
Of your voice often conveys
More accurately what is in
Your mind than do your words.
- Napoleon Hill Foundation
What kept us competitive and
Innovative at Chick-fil-A was
Understanding the difference
Between success and excellence.
Success is comparing yourself
To somebody else.
Excellence is comparing yourself
To your potential.
And when you compare yourself
To your own potential,
There is no finish line.

Monday Jan. 31st marked the 7th year
of my mother’s passing from this earth
life.
Lisa and I visited the Cemetery where
her body is a rest last October.
Her wonderful spirit went to be with God
on that Saturday in 2015.
In my last conversation with her on the
telephone I told her she was going to a
better place.
A place Free from the Cancer that had
tormented Her body.
Like Tim Mc Graw sang I could always
see her smile when I talked with her on
the phone.
I miss you Mom… we all do…
- Hayden Childs
