Rules On Winning

Applicable to a game or life, as noted by Richard Taylor:

1. Work hard.
2. Stick together.
3. Have the right attitude.
4. Be positive; don't criticize; look to compliment.
5. Improve every day, especially as a person.
6. "How badly do I want it?"
7. Know that no one can beat you; you beat yourself. Morale is what motivates the best to get better. As you think, so you shall be. A sprit of devotion and enthusiasm for the team and purpose... Until you find a purpose higher than winning, you will never win.
8. Leave the room cleaner than when you entered it.
9. Winning is a by-product of hard work - but winning is not the most important thing. Playing the game the right way is the important thing.
10. Enjoy the things that make us better, the intangibles like team concept, not the stats.
11. We play with the intensity and poise of a national championship team.
12. Play each possession like it's the last game.
13. The purpose of playing is to get better.
14. If you think about losing, you will lose.
