“No-one gets an iron-clad guarantee of success. Certainly, factors like opportunity, luck and timing are important. But the backbone of success is usually found in old-fashioned, basic concepts like hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance.”
~Mia Hamm
and I have a comment on it:
"Ladies, we know that anything can happen in a soccer game at any time. Going into a game anyone can win, no matter what the outcome is expected to be. We need to go out there and give it our all, keep those concepts of hard work, determination, planning, and perserverance, and if we do that then it doesn't matter what the outcome is. If we keep these in mind and actually do them then we went out and gave it our all and at the end of the day that's all we can do. There're some factors that can come into any game that we can't control. We've had a great season ladies! Let's finish strong and leave it all on the field Wednesday!"

Girls, please respond to these wise words by Wednesday at 730 AM.

that quote is exactly true! success is never guaranteed! you have to work for it! and be determined to get it and be willing to do whatever it takes to get there!! we have one practice and one game to show how determined we are!! let's show 'em how it's done ladies!!
ReplyDeleteNice job liz! That pretty much sums up everything coach has been telling us. If we remember the little things like hard work, determination, planning, and perserverence we have a good chance at a win, even to a more talented team than us.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true! Nothing is ever guaranteed in soccer. And if we do everything that we know how to do and do it with 100% effort then we can have like Shelby said a good chance at beating a more talented team.
ReplyDeleteWhat this is basically saying is that everything goes back to the basics. Without good control, you can't pass well and if you can't pass well you won't have as many chances at the goal.
ReplyDeleteNice Quote Billy! Those are all the right things we need to be a successful team. We just have to put it all together tommorow!
ReplyDeleteHey ladies, okay, last round of quotes, let's make 'em count. Liz picked a very fitting quote, I think, just seeing who the team we are playing tomorrow is. Last time we played East, we tied. The goal was made by Emily and it was a good shot, but it had a little help. . . if you remember, the ball hit a bad spot in the ground which made it harder for the keeper to get. Instances like this can lead to success. . . or failure, all depending on the time and place. We need to expect these quirks of the game, but not count on them. We should be able to perform and win without having to rely on them. Let's get out there and prove to East, our families, our school, and most importantly, ourselves, that we can do it. Let's go ladies!

ReplyDeleteIt's true. Going into a game with confidence, hard work, determination, planning, and perseverance, will most likely result in a win. However, if it doesn't happen, at least we showed everyone our mental and physical skills and abilities. Being able to believe in ourselves and our teammates has truly helped us this season and will continue to in the future. There are
definitely some factors that we can't control such as timing and luck. But tomorrow, lets finish up our last game with a positive attitude, determination, and togetherness. We've had a great season this year and we deserve this win!
Its like working your butt off, Marking up, sacrificing your body, setting balls, and making good passes can help you succeed.
ReplyDeleteIf we work with the basics everything else will come to us and everything will fall into place. Lets go out with the basics and some other important skills and beat Zeeland East.
ReplyDeletegreat quote! i think that the things that we need to remember for tonight are determination and hard work. we can win this game! keep it up guys!
