Rick Pitino
- Are we the hardest working team in America?
- True motivation is understanding the process for success
- Hope leads to desire, desire leads to success
- I don’t know? Is the classic sign of the underachiever
- Discipline is the starting line to the finish line
- Discipline is an organized plan of attack
- Without discipline we go in many directions, cover the same territory and waste time and energy
- Goals bring purpose to our effort, a sense of direction
- Purpose is a motive
- Everyone is conditioned to settle for less
- Under achievers believe that their dreams are out of reach, are not responsible for their performance and will resort to blaming others for their mistakes
- Goals vs. Dreams (Now vs. Then)
- Dreams are the prize after the struggle
- Goals are the day by day blueprint, the incremental improvement that connect dreams to the process to the results
- Always set continuous demanding goals
- Goals are the steps we take towards our dreams
- Achieving something everyday adds up to long term success
- Always confront weaknesses, excuse makers, procrastinators
- Tomorrow means success never comes
- Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve
- Working hard vs. Liking to work hard
- Pressure vs. Stress
- Greatness comes in response to intense pressure
- Pressure is competition, something at stake, demanding more, constant striving, fear of failure
- Persistence makes us great, reaches our dreams, performs at full potential and conditions us to win
- Actions + Non-actions = future
- Repetition overcomes adversity
- Never rest on success
- Yesterday’s accomplishments vs. Tomorrow’s goals
- Become more successful every year
