Ability
Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
Attitude
Nothing will work unless you do.
Faith
There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer.
Mind
You cannot attain and maintain physical condition unless you are morally and mentally conditioned. And it is impossible to be in moral condition unless you are spiritually conditioned. I always told my players that our team condition depended on two factors -- how hard they worked on the floor during practice and how well they behaved between practices.
Perseverance
It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.
Sports
Sports do not build character. They reveal it.
Success
Success is peace of mind, a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming, and not just in a physical way: seek ye first the kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be yours as well.
Youth
Young people need models, not critics...
