Grit It Out






Hello everyone.  What an exciting March & April with Provincials and Nationals.  The above message was posted on Facebook which I thought a perfect timing to share it here.

The nature of competition is great when one is doing well but quite a blow to the confidence for those who may not come away with expected victories.  I want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that accomplishments are not achieved overnight.  It is not a matter IF your effort and determination will be rewarded, it is WHEN. 

Did you know that Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player in his generation...

  • missed more than nine thousand shots in his career?
  • lost almost three hundred games?
  • he was entrusted twenty-six times to take the game-winning shot and missed?
He truly believes the reason he succeeded was because he has failed over and over and over again.

Listen, nobody remembers how you did what last match, last week, last month, last year.  Only you do (ok, maybe parents do...Lol).  So, don't waste time sulking.  Get back on the court and work harder than you have ever worked before .  Because that is what winners do.  We never give up. 

Play hard at Nationals.
