"The longest journey is the journey inward." -- Dag Hammarskjold

Thought of the Day :: Hard Work & Togetherness

"Hard work and togetherness. They go hand in hand. You need the hard work because it's such a tough atmosphere ... to win week in and week out. You need togetherness because you don't always win, and you gotta hang though together." -- Tony Dungy, head coach of the Indianapolis Colts

Thought of the Day :: Be Yourself

And that is the thought of the day:

"Be Yourself!"

Simple, yet oh so profound.

Thought of the Day :: Success, the Wooden Way

"Success is a piece of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing that you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming."-- John Wooden

With the recent addition of a John Wooden video to the Hoops U. Basketball Video Network(see previous post), it got me thinking of the many quotes and thoughts from Coach. I like the above quote a lot, and especially as it pertains to his 'Pyramid of Success'. If you haven't seen the 'Pyramid' before, do yourself a favor and check it out via the link below. If you have seen it, revisit it. Either way, view it, read it, study it ... you can even print your own copy!
