Chicken Nuggets for the Stars

I know you all enjoy snacking on chicken nuggets. Indeed you enjoy those more than the large platter of macaroni and cheese...maybe, at least more than a platter of mashed potatoes, gravy and spinach.

I also know that while you are all good listeners to coach and your parents, sometimes we pack so much into a discussion that you might not remember most of it. So here are some nuggets of wisdom for your mind to "snack" on as you prepare for the tournaments ahead.

"It takes time to succeed because success is merely
the natural reward of taking the time to do anything well..." Joseph Ross

"People seldom improve when they have no other model than themselves to copy..." Olivia Goldsmith

So let's be thankful to our coaches and other players who have been our heros and let us also strive to be the best so that we too can fill that gap for others.

"No one can make you feel inferior
without your permission..." Eleanor Roosevelt

Stars, don't ever walk onto the court accepting that the other team is better than yours.

"To accept ourselves as we are
means we value our imperfections
as much as our perfections..." Sandra Bierig

We admire you for your dedication to practice and improve your sport.

"Once you qualify,
people can justify..." Grandma

People watch Tiger Woods and justify that he was born to be a star. In reality, his father had a vision and a dream, Tiger shared that dream and learnt this lesson:
"Dreams don't work
Unless you do!"

Go forth and paly your hearts out. You are the SILVER STARS!
