Excellence Takes Time

Society needs more voices from strong women. 

Excellence is hard. Grueling. Your parents work hard every day to create opportunities for you. There's no guarantee. And you have no 'manual' for excellence.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich says, "you can't skip steps." Keep grinding day after day and eventually results come.

Be process-focused. Student-athletes do what they don't want to do today to achieve so they can do what they want in the future. 

Some of you work out with a teammate. You don't need a gym to work on your footwork, your athleticism, your resilience. 

Coach Lawson preaches competence. Moreover, great student-athletes thrive on competence and character. Character shows up as attitude, commitment, determination, energy, persistence, teamwork. 

"Greatness stays with a man." The foundation you build today stays with you.
