and determination alone are omnipotent."
-- Calvin Coolidge

nations’ founding fathers said:
“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!”
Great coaches have always understood the importance of determination: We shall cross the line of
departure with a quote from a man who was arguably one of the greatest coaches of all time:
“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge,
but rather a lack in will.” -Vince Lombardi
