INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
1. Con dence doesn’t come from painting your face or
from loud pre-game music. Those fade fast. It comes
from being prepared & outworking the opponent
2. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch
your habits, they become your character.
Vince Lombard
3. It takes no talent to hustle
4. Championships are not won with smooth hands
