Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-- a desire, a dream, a vision.
--Muhammad Ali
When I step into the batter's box, the fans, the noise, the cheers, they all disappear. For that moment, the world is just a battle between me and the pitcher. And more than anything, I want to win!
--Mary W., second base, California
I am now, and will always be me. But when it comes time to step out onto that field, me gets a little more dedicated, a little more serious, and nobody stands in my way.
--Caitlin Sumpter, Catcher, Kansas
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
--Christopher Robin to Pooh
There's no substitute for guts.
--Paul Bear Bryant
You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
--Michael Jordan
Ain't no chance if you don't take it.
--Guy Clark
Concentration is the ability to think about absolutely nothing when it is absolutely necessary.
--Ray Knight
There are only two options regarding commitment. You're either IN or you're OUT. There is no such thing as life-in-between.
--Pat Riley When you practice, remember, there is someone somewhere else who is not, and when you meet them, YOU WILL WIN.

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
~~Lou Holtz
A true champion is someone who wants to make a difference, who never gives up, and who gives everything she has no matter what the circumstances are. A true champion works hard and never loses sight of her dreams.
