When your mind is telling you “I’m too tired. I can’t do it,” it isn’t always telling the truth. Sometimes you have to talk back and push through the pain in order to perform up to your full potential.
Success doesn’t find talent.
Success finds energy, hard work, commitment, and resilience.
Lots of small battles fought every single day.
Some you win, some you lose...
but winners always show up ready to fight.

COACHES: When you’re on your deathbed you’re going to be surrounded by people, not trophies.
Winning is important.
It will never stop being important.
But how you treat people along the way will always be more important.

Becky Hammon shares what resilience really means - and why the hard parts are necessary.
"Being resilient is both a character trait and a learned skill."
"The tough part about being resilient is that you can only develop this skill through going through hard stuff."
You can't build resilience in comfort. It only comes through the struggle.
"The amount of times I heard no or had a door shut - was the amount of times I was gonna climb through a chimney or a window. I was gonna bust through something to get to where I needed to go."
"Pressing on became an integral part of my story."
Then she said the line that says it all:
"I wouldn't change the hard parts. Because the hard parts were necessary to build the strength needed for whatever challenge was coming."
Don't run from hard. Embrace the adversity because it's building something in you.
Every setback and challenge is preparing you for what's next.
