Success Versus Process

Dawn Staley said, “A lot of people notice when you succeed, but they don’t see what it takes to get there.”

There is no such thing as an overnight success, it takes time.
• It takes sacrifice.
• It takes discipline.
• It takes commitment.

Nobody sees the hours the concert pianist put in to craft her performance. Nobody sees the extra time the valedictorians spent earning their grades. Nobody sees the first, second, and third draft of the best-selling authors. People notice the result not the process.

Show your work. Plan your process. Write it down. Keep track of your progress. Some of you have HUDL accounts displaying your highlights. That's terrific. "Unseen hours" show up in late August at tryouts and scrimmages.
