Success doesn't belong to 'wanting'. Don't believe in the myth that "success goes to those who want it more." Every team that makes it to championship play wants to win.
Excellence has common features. Excellence leaves fingerprints.
“Control what you can control.” A leading tenet of Stoicism is controlling what you can control, which is why professional teams across sports have adopted it. You control your attitude, choices, and effort. Hard work is a skill.
“Always do your best,” from The Fourth Agreement When talent meets competitive character, great things happen. Excellence requires no skipped steps, no cutting corners.
“Share something great.” Teammates who share lessons from experience, and from principles handed down through the decades give their team and themselves the best chance to succeed.
"Team first." Put the team first. Rafael Devers is an excellent hitter who earned a big contract with the Red Sox. Reading between the lines, we can speculate that he may not have fulfilled all of the team's requests to put the team first. We can't know. When you graduate from MVB, let your legacy be, "she was a great teammate who put the team first."
Ask “how can I help?” Everyone feels helpless sometimes. In those moments, remember to ask what we can do to help. Mr. Rogers said, "Look for the helpers." Be a helper.
Lagniappe. Don’t go back to the basics; never leave. With two months to go before the 'kickoff' of the season, be humble and hungry.
