WINNING ISN'T EVERYTHING, STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE IS. IT IS THE TRYING AND CARING THAT IS IMPORTANT. WINNING IS A BONUS.

NEW TEAM RULES
(Non-negotiable and applicable to all)

RULE #1
The head coach is always right.

RULE # 2
If you think the head coach is wrong, refer to rule #1.

BE A WINNING DANCE TEAM
"Winning is not a sometime thing, it's an all-the-time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in awhile, you do them right all of the time. WINNING IS A HABIT.
Unfortunately, so is losing...
"It's a reality of life that we are all competitive. It's why we practice day in and day out. To achieve excellence. To win.
"And in truth, I've never known a dancer of any worth who in the long run, deep down in her heart, didn't appreciate the GRIND, the CLIMB, the DISCIPLINE. There is something in all good young women that really yearns for, and needs discipline and a challenge.
I firmly believe that your finest memories, the ultimate fulfillment, will be the moments when you have worked your heart out for a good cause and lie exhausted "in our field of battle, VICTORIOUS."

WINNERS VS. LOSERS
The Winner is always part of the answer;
The Loser is always a part of the problem;
The Winner has a program;
The Loser always has an excuse;
The Winner says "Let me do it for you"
The Loser says "That's not my job";
The Winner sees an answer for every problem;
The Loser sees a problem in every answer;
The Winner sees a green near every sand trap;
The Loser sees two or three traps near every green;
The Winner says "It may be difficult but it's possible";
The Loser says it may be possible but it's too difficult."
BE A WINNER!!

LOSERS MAKE PROMISES, WINNERS MAKE COMMITMENT.
WHEN A WINNER MAKES A MISTAKE, SHE SAYS, "I WAS WRONG."
WHEN A LOSER MAKES A MISTAKE, SHE SAYS, "IT WASN'T MY FAULT."
A WINNER SAYS, "I'M GOOD, BUT NOT AS GOOD AS I OUGHT TO BE.”
A LOSER SAYS, "I'M NOT AS BAD AS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE."
A WINNER EXPLAINS, A LOSER EXPLAINS AWAY.
