Heisman Commitment

WHAT DID TIM TEBOW DO THE SUMMER AFTER WINNING THE HEISMAN TROPHY?

“All summer, I kept the workouts going – even when I traveled for a combination of mission trips and vacations for a total of three weeks that off-season.  I was able to do it because my brothers helped me with the workouts at every stop on the trip; I was not about to lose the edge I’d built up with my teammates in the spring.  AND SO I TRAINED IN LONDON, CROATIA, BOSNIA, THAILAND, THE PHILLIPINES, AND IN THE AIRPORT TERMINAL IN FRANKFURT, GERMANY.  Seven countries in three weeks, if you include the United States.  Our workouts consisted of exercises with whatever equipment we could find: stairs, chin-up bars, or rough mountain roads.  The materials for the workouts didn’t matter; what mattered was making sure that I got them in.”

Daily Thought - Ara Parseghian

Former University of Notre Dame football coach Ara Parseghian
"As coaches, we represent one of the few remaining organized systems for demanding discipline of young men.  Their education will not be complete if it does not include the discipline and generosity that can come from being a team member, if it does not include an awareness of responsibility to others.  We are "people coaches," not just "football coaches."

MARCH MADNESS - Purdue Head Coach Matt Painter

"I've never coached someone who had no discipline off the court who had it on the court."

Daily Thought - Pat Summitt

"Discipline is about more than just punishment.

Discipline is the internal structure that supports your organization. Used properly, it can help you maintain order without ever having to actually do the unpleasant work or punishing people. It is the basis of leadership.

Discipline is the only sure way I know to convince people to believe in themselves.

Discipline is the internal mechanism that self-motivates you. It gets you out of bed in the morning. It gets you to work on time and it tells you when you need to work late. It drives you. It is essential to success, whether individually or in a group.”
