team, inside you’ve mastered the art of self-discipline and self- control. You’re playing YOUR game. What happens next is up to you. This moment is the convergence of all of the coaching you’ve received, your practices, the support of your loved ones, your preparation and most importantly the training of your mind. When this happens the game is elevated from a purely athletic event to something higher. And then it’s not only about winning a game. It becomes a strategy for winning at life. So, as it relates to all of this teaching don’t you think that if you strengthen and fortify your mind you will be able to control how you react to everything? More physical drills may not matter.

It is going to build character, promote right action, and in the end will be a way for you to raise your level of development from purely physical and mental to spiritual excellence. 27
