An example of the "WEEKLY MESSAGES" ("Morale Building Messages") we give our players:
Don't Apologize For Trying To Win:
After you've worked to develop your character, after you've spent the long hours practicing to get your edge, after you've brought yourself to a mental and physical peak, you find out. You step onto the field, the court of the mat and you find out who the winner is - you or the guy staring you in the eye.
Don't be afraid to be a winner. Win with class, win with character. You've worked hard, you've paid the price and you deserve to win. You can fight like the devil to win and still have class. In fact, the harder you fight, the more you try to win, the more people will respect you.
Get used to competition because you'll be competing all your life. In school, you compete for grades. In business, you'll be competing to make a sale.
Don't let people convince you that winning in sports in not important. If you don't have your share of victories, you won't be on the team for very long. If your goal is to get into graduate school, you had better plan on getting your share of A's. And if you want keep your job, you better make a sale now and then. Nice tries and great efforts don't buy many groceries in the real world.
Another reason why winning is so important is that success will help you to maintain your enthusiasm. How long will you remain excited about your sport if you go out each week and get beat? Without enthusiasm, you are likely to work less than you should and then you are likely to lose again. Losing is a tough habit to break.
Don't say that you're not in a sport to win. No apologies are needed. Somebody is going to win, you or your opponent. You make that decision - but before you do, remember it doesn't matter if you win or lose until you lose!
