Circumstances and Attitude

All of us care about our personal circumstances. Yet we spend time and effort thinking about issues beyond our control. We control our attitude, choices, and effort (ACE).

"Repetitions make reputations." You want that open spot in the back row, an outside hitter position, the designated server slot. Go for it. 

What skill (e.g. attacking) and microskills (e.g. footwork, armswing) do you need? How hard are you working to develop them? 

What physical qualities such as strength, lateral quickness, vertical jump, and conditioning are necessary? How consistently are you working to grow them? 

Coach Sonny Lane (former Melrose AD) preached one word, "sacrifice." To excel at home, in class, and in extracurricular activities, winners sacrifice. 

Success equation:  ACHIEVEMENT = PERFORMANCE x TIME

Performance flows from your ATTITUDE, CHOICES, and EFFORT.
