No "Gap Year"

"I think of this organization as winners...we're coming to win."  

What is your mindset as part of MVB? Here are a few ideas based upon three decades of sports parenting (MVB 2002-2005), observation, and writing. Mindset matters. 

Team first. Everyone can be a great teammate. 

"Fight for your culture daily." Share. Learn. Mentor. 

The best players make everyone around them better.

"You become what you believe.

"We make our habits and our habits make us.

"Champions do extra.

"How you do anything is how you do everything." Take care of business at home, in school, and in sports. 

"Sport rewards explosive athleticism." 

Impact the game. Compete. MVB greats are fierce. MVB showed exceptional competitiveness against an elite team. 

Be ready. It's always too late to get ready. 

Everyone can lead. Leadership is more than title. 

Everyone gets opportunities. Not everyone can convert them into performance. 

Lagniappe. Dawn Staley didn't have an easy path to star player, NCAA championship coach, or US Women's National Team Coach. 

She is tough and fair.
