The Journey

Celebrate the journey not only the destination.

Jon Gordon writes motivational books. I've read The Positive Dog, Soup, Training Camp, The Hard Hat, The Energy Bus, and You Win in the Locker Room First.

There's a Navy SEAL adage, "you sink to the level of your training." Prepare for adversity, tough opponents, unexpected events. Successful teams and players keep going. 

Think back to Billerica 2021, overcoming an uphill battle through solid play and especially mental toughness. Melrose trailed 6-0 and 10-3 in the fifth set but went on a 13-4 run to win. 

Or last season, coming back and hanging tough against a strong Wakefield club that went to their sectional semifinals.  

Lagniappe. Follow your coach's guidance while learning more.
