Wanting to win is only part of the equation, the other part is putting in the effort, energy and time on the practice field. The players throughout the world who are the best and most successful are those that love the game so much they love to practice.

The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital.

It is not enough to show up at practice, go through the motions and expect to win on the weekend. The intensity and effort level brought to practice is what gives a team the best chance to win on on game day. Playing harder than the other teams throughout the week, prepares the mind and body for the increased intensity of a close game, a tough 1v1 battle, or the ability to persevere and come back from being down.
When it is time to practice Bring It! – make yourself and your teammate better and that effort will be rewarded with wins on the weekend and success in life.
The last really speak to my high school team, we went to the finals this year, we lost only because this guy wouldn’t past the ball, i will never get over it.
