Student Success Satement

"Student Success Statement"

"What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player." - John Wooden

What this quote means to me is that what you are as an individual, is way more important than being a great player in sports. You could be great at sports, but if you are mean, selfish, arrogant, your teammates probably won't like you as a person. In the end, like I said, you could be great at sports, but if your not a good person, your basically nothing.

What this Quote means to me is that your past is not your potential, maybe in the past you might have been tripped up by obstacles, but that does not determine your potential, less your future. You true potential lies in what you do right now, for the better in the future.

"Relentless, Repetitive Self-Talk Is What Changes Our Self-Image" - Denis Waitley 

What this quote means to me is that good self talk within ourselves can lead to great changes in our Self-Image. If we believe we that we are successful, if we believe we have potential, if we believe in ourselves, we typically are not only going to have a better Self-Image, but a more positive perspective of ourselves and our lives.
