"It's not the size of the Dog in the Fight, But the Size of the Fight in the Dog" "Accept Reality" "It's very important to me that the entire country and the entire world see a team that works their butt off, and demands more then effort, It demands a single mindedness and a togetherness that will lead this team to succeed." STEVE SAMPSON 1998 US WORLD CUP WOMENS SOCCER COACH "Go out hard, pick it up in the middle, and let no one pass you in the last half." COACH LARRY ELLIS "Every person needs to have their moment in the sun, when they raise their arms in victory, knowing that on this day, at this hour, they were at their very best" "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it." -1 CORINTHIANS "When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it - but all that had gone before." JACOB RIIS "Today is the day!!! As of this moment everyone is equal--When you line up on that starting line there is no one runner who is a sure winner. The winner's will be those athletes who stay in control during the race and then rise to the occasion. All of you have been trained to race so let's show them how it is done!!!!!" |
