The Winners Manual-Jim Tressel

Here is a book that I have reread and enjoyed.  I have included some thoughts that I really liked. http://thewinnersmanual.com/blockolife.asp

He continually Stresses goal setting with his teams. “The Block O of Life”

•   Two Major goal areas: 1) Purpose     2) Goals   
• Purposes include: personal/family, spiritual/moral, caring/giving
• Goals include: strength/fitness, football family, academics/career
• Too many people define themselves by what they do and not who they are
•     Inspiration gets you thinking, Motivation gets you moving.  
•  Nothing is worth more, than this day.” – Goethe 
•   Your life is either a celebration or a chore. The choice is yours.  
• Do it right – Do it hard – Or do it again.  
  
• Excellence : It isn’t tough to be good from time to time in sports. What’s tough is being good everyday 
  
• Every obstacle presents an opportunity. IF you are looking for it 
• It’s a rough road that leads to heights of greatness.  
• To win championships you need 2 things. Love and Discipline. If the team loves one another they will not want to let one another down
