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.

Please respect the privacy of his family at

This time.”

While we never made it to see

Toby Keith in concert

Lisa and I both enjoyed his music.

We are saddened by his passing.

Singer, Song Writer, Entertainer,

Entrepreneur, Philanthropist.

Patriot.

His music will live on.

He will be missed…

- Hayden

 

Don’t apologize for being patriotic.

Support the troops.

- Toby Keith

 

Here’s the thing.

Just because you’re pro-troops doesn’t

Mean you’re pro-war.

And just because your anti-war doesn’t

Mean you anti-troops.

Just because you don’t support the war

People think you are anti-troops and

You are a bad guy.

- Toby Keith

 

I will do my duty no matter the price,

I’ve counted up the cost,

I know the sacrifice.

Oh, and I don’t want to die for you,

But if dying is asked of me,

I’ll bear that cross of honor

Cause freedom don’t come free.

- Toby Keith

 

I’d had my whole life to write my first album.

I had my No.1 and my third single out,

And they go, ‘Hey, guess what?

We need to start recording the next one.’

I’m like, ‘Uh oh, I got to write another album.

Well, how am I gonna write ‘Should’ve Been

A Cowboy’ and ‘Ain’t Worth Missing’

And all that again?”

It took me forever to write the first one.

- Toby Keith
