We recently found “The Champions Creed” while preparing pre-season motivation for a local Pop Warner Football Team. We wanted to get our young players ready for a successful season. Please feel free to share with any and all and send us any motivation quotes and thoughts that you use.

1. Never underestimate your opponent
2. Work on your weaknesses until they become your strengths
3. Remember that a great effort is usually a result of a great attitude
4. Dedicate yourself to a great purpose
5. Win with humility, lose with grace.
6. Ignore those who discourage you.
7. Work to improve your moral and spiritual strengths as well as your physical ones.
8. Remember that how you conduct yourself off the field (court) is just as important as how you conduct yourself on the field (court).
9. Talent is god-given: be humble. Fame is man-given: be thankful. Conceit is self-given: be careful.
10. Don’t ask to be deprived of tension and discipline – these are tools that shape success.
11. Do what has to be done, when it has to be done, as well as it can be done.
12. Remember that when you are not working to improve, your competition is.
13. Always give your very best.
14. Practice like a champion.
15. Play like a champion.
16. Live like a champion.
