Winning or losing games comes down to inches. Just think of the game play during the game to the outcome and it all comes down to inches. As a coach, I can think back on a lot of my losses and they came down to losing by inches. If we could've had a better effort, if we could've overcome adversirty, if we could have come with a different attitude, if we could have made the plays, that extra umph, that extra effort, IT COMES DOWN TO INCHES.
WORK HARD AND SMART AND YOU MIGHT INCH YOUR WAY TO VICTORY!

CHAMPIONS IN SPORTS
They are the best of the best. They exemplify courage, nobility, genius, hard work, modesty, ambition, and grace. They are the ones we all want to be like. They are the ones we want to act like when the going gets tough. They are the ones that have that extra something. They explode with that extra effort, that extra step, that finishing move, that winning score. They are the Champions in Sports. And the difference between winning and losing is inches. It is the ability to take that extra step. It is the ability to climb that extra ring in the latter. It is the ability to turn excuses for failure into reasons for success. And it is the ability to step up on game day in between the lines within the game time to have a winning outcome and Champions are Champs in everything they do. Be a Champion in life.
BAND WAGON JUMPERS
What is a Band Wagon Jumper?
Someone who knows nothing about the sport or the team that they are jumping onto, and they wont care about them if they lose. As a matter of fact, they would evan be upset and want there money back if they spent it on a losing game. These people fill a void in their empty lives by jumping onto a winner, without ever suffering through the trials and tribulations of losing on their journey to the top.
Anyway, all you BlackHawk band wagon jumpers, you are all welcome. Enjoy the ride! We will be on top for a long time.

HERO'S IN SPORTS
Who is your hero in sports. Not your Dad or favorite War Vet or Teacher or Coach- who are all true hero's in life. I'm talking about Heroes in sports. You know the good guys. Vince Lombardi, Arnold Palmer, Cal Ripken Jr., Hank Arron, Jackie Robinson, Lance Armstrong, Yogi Berra, Magic Johnson, Mickey Mantle, Muhammad Ali, Pele, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and my favorite Michael Jordan.
These are the greatest athletes in their sports. These are the best of the best. And if you want to be the best in your chosen field of life in work or sports than you have to find the best and duplicate their efforts. Go to the top and find out why they are where they are and what they had to do to get there. And here is what you will find. These Heroes in sports have gotten where they are because of the choses they made. They did more than they had to. They worked longer than they had to. You see, if you want to see what other people havn't seen, than you need to go places that they haven't gone. If you want more then others have, than you need to do what they won't do- legally and morally.
Most of all, when you fail, when you fall, when you run into another dead end, YOU MUST NEVER GIVE UP. Find a way. Keep searching and it will find you. And when you reach the top, realize how hard you worked to get there and like your favorite Hero, you will be at the top of your chosen field.
ENJOY THE VIEW- YOU EARNED IT.

MUSIC IN SPORTS
HOW PUMPED DO YOU GET WHEN YOU HEAR A ROCKING TUNE OR HIP HOP OR AN R AND B TUNE THAT JUST SETS YOUR SOUL ON FIRE. IT LIGHTS YOU UP LIKE THE FEELING OF SCORING A GAME WINNING GOAL OR A GAME WINNING TOUCH DOWN, THREE POINTER, OR GRAND SLAM?
JUST THINK OF YOUR FAVORITE SPORTS TALK SHOW, DO THEY PLAY A JAM OR ELEVATOR MUSIC BEFORE OR DURING THEIR SHOW? EVERY PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE HAS HIS FAVORITE SONG AND IPOD LOADED UP WITH PUMP UP SONGS. THEY DO THIS TO TAKE THEM TO ANOTHER LEVEL THAT THEY CAN'T GET TO ALONE. WE ALL NEED A LITTLE HELP FOR THIS AND THIS IS ONE WAY TO GET YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO BE.
ROCKY, WITH THE EYE OF THE TIGER. THESE WORDS IN ALL CAPS. IT'S ALL ABOUT ATTITUDE. GET YOUR ATTITUDE RIGHT WITH AN ENTHUSIASTIC SPORTS MINDED FRAME OF MIND. PLAY THAT MUSIC LOUD AND PROUD AND LET IT TAKE YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO BE- IN THE WINNING ZONE!

What is your Dream?
So, what is your dream friend? One of the greatest secrets known to mankind is that YOU ARE EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ALL DAY LONG and you can have whatever you want as long as you have good intentions. If your dream is to buy a car, than you must set a financial target and shoot your effort darts at that dart board of achievement until you hit the bulls eye of success and buy a car. However, if your dream is to buy a car, and you start playing ping-pong, you will never achieve your destination and you will be walking.
If an Eagle chases two mice for lunch, both will escape. So, you must have a dream. You must have a chartered course that you follow strictly until you achieve your destination. You see, every cruise ship that leave a port must have a chartered course. And the Captain and the crew know exactly where they are going, how long it will take and what they have to do to get there. And they must think and do nothing until that job is done. And there is a 99.999% chance that they will reach their final destination. However, if the same Captain and the same crew set out without a chartered course and without a final destination and without a plan to achieve their goal, than they never will and that ship will never make it out of the Harbor. Just think of all the people in this world wasting away in their harbor of failure. Sitting on their couches, waiting for the mail. Putting dents in the cushions of their couches. Getting their fingers orange from cheese curls. Living without a purpose. Living without a dream. Living without a chartered course to their final destination.
And we all know the type of person I'm talking about. The person with no desire. The person with no bounce in their step. The complaining, lazy, self-pity, quitting person that is in the mirror. You see, we all have this person in us, we COULD be this exact person in our life right now and we could be blind to it. We just or must choose not to act upon the lazy part of our sub-conscious. We must have other reasons for not complaining about our circumstance or situation. We must motivate ourselves everyday to do the right thing. Each person has a winner and a loser in them. And it is up to you who shows up for your game, YOUR GAME OF LIFE!
So, what is your dream friend? Once you decide, you must have a definiteness of purpose. That means a single goal. A single dream. Then you must wake up thinking about it. You must think about it all day long. And you must work hard and smart to achieve your dream. And you must go through the pain and suffering to reach the ultimate joy of achieving your dream. And you must use every circumstance surrounding you as a reasons for achieving your goal and not excuses for failure, then and only then will you reach your dream.
And once you reach your dream- enjoy it. Reward yourself with your dream because you have earned it!

DON'T GIVE UP!
So, as your about to give up, realize, that you still have a chance to win. Because the only person who loses is the one who gives up. The loser is the one who QUITS. You see, I have never lost, I have just ran out of time. And we all have the time to win as long as we don't quit. And your time is now to do it. Don't think about what could have been, or what has been, or what might be, just think about now and tomorrow. And set your goals high and get focused and go get them yourself right now. Because no one is going to help you. You have only one place to turn and that is to the reflection in the mirror. It is YOU! You have the the power, you just need to utilize it. Don't be scared and don't quit, just do it! DON'T GIVE UP. DON'T EVER GIVE UP! REACH YOUR GOALS AND ACHIEVE GREATNESS!
The American Eagle
Have you ever wondered why The Eagle is the symbol of America? Well, we couldn't chose a Dove or a Vulture. We could only chose The Eagle because is THE EAGLE IS GREATEST BIRD IN THE WORLD. You see, the Eagle flocks alone. And when she flies she soars. And she will create the biggest nest, as big as a small car, and she will put it on the highest tree in the valley, and the view is nice from the top. But the best thing about the eagle is this: when the barometric pressure drops and a major rain storm is rolling in; all the birds in the valley will fly for cover, because they can actually look up and get water in their beak the wrong way and they can drown from the rain. The Eagle, on the other hand, will become excited by the storm. Her heart will start pounding and her adrenalin will start pumping and when that storm finally hits, she will take off and fly head strong into the storm. And at that time she must fly faster, higher, harder, and better than ever before. Because any bird can fly in sunny weather, it takes an eagle to fly in the storm. And when she flies at her best, she will fly through and ABOVE the clouds. And you know what she will find? It is is SUNNY up there. She just had to fly better. She just had to fly faster. She just had to fly harder. She just had to fly HIGHER to get through the storm to get to the SUNSHINE.
AND IF YOU ARE IN A STORM RIGHT NOW IN YOUR LIFE, YOU CAN EITHER FLY FOR COVER OR YOU COULD FLY FASTER, HIGHER, HARDER, AND BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE TO GET THROUGH YOUR STORM TO YOUR SUNSHINE THAT IS THERE THE WHOLE TIME.You must be like an Eagle, An American Eagle, in your life.
And That is why the Eagle is the symbol of AMERICA. Learn from nature friend, and be an American Eagle in your life.

If your dream is big enough, the facts don't matter.
