Quote of the Day
“Show me someone content with mediocrity and I’ll show you somebody destined for failure.”
-Johnetta Cole
Spoke to an outstanding person Tuesday night via telephone.
Haven’t spoken to them in a long time.
Most important thing I came away with from our conversation?
I wish I had listened to them when I was younger.
This individual was a great coach, teacher and motivator.
It was all about discipline but I was too blind to realize that. I mean I was 12 years old for crying out loud!
These days, as a high school basketball coach and a proud father of a 12 year-old daughter, I can only hope that the young people I mentor follow my lead.
It’s never too late to begin…
Respectfully,
Steve
