Senior Salute #21 - Success 3

“Success is peace of mind that is the direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” John Wooden

We conclude our final week of our 7-week series of quotes based on themes from my book, "Senior Salute," with five more quotes on the theme of "Success," plus one extra quote.

In my quest to find a definition of success, I found that the John Wooden quote above had defined it in a way that was right in line with how I had come to feel. His definition of success was so spot-on that I chose to adopt it as mine, too. I encourage you to consider success in this same way. Your success is about how hard you try and how far you are willing to go without giving up. Many successful people have been counted out numerous times, but they refused to give up. They just doggedly persisted until they eventually achieved what they were seeking. When you do that, you will be a success every time, no matter what some scoreboard says. 

I wrote "Senior Salute" as a follow-up to my most popular book ever, "Inspiration for the Graduate." Both are gift books for coaches or parents to give to their senior athletes. "Inspiration for the Graduate" makes for a great graduation gift, and "Senior Salute" is a great gift to give on Senior Night or at the End-of-Season Banquet. Each book is filled with quotes based on various Team Themes that, hopefully, the coaches have talked with and worked on with their teams at some point in the season.
