Quotes
WHEN WE STARTED OUR CHAMPIONSHIP TRAINING COURSE, WE WONDERED HOW
THE STUDENTS WOULD RECEIVE OUR "QUOTE OF THE DAY." THE STUDENTS
LIKED THEM BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS.
MANY STUDENT/ATHLETES REMARKED THAT WHILE PRACTICING OR WORKING HARD AT SOME ACTIVITY AND THINGS WERE NOT GOING AS WELL AS THEY WOULD LIKE, THEY OFTEN WOULD REMEMBER A QUOTE OF THE DAY AND IT WOULD HELP THEM PUSH ON WITH THEIR EFFORT.
IN OUR SCHOOL WE HAVE A QUOTE OF THE DAY
FOR THE SCHOOL, AS WELL AS A QUOTE OF THE WEEK. THE QUOTE OF THE WEEK GOES
OUT ON OUR WEEKLY BULLETIN RIGHT AT THE TOP. THE QUOTE OF THE DAY IS 
EMAILED TO EACH FACULTY MEMBER WHO THEN HAS THE OPTION TO PRINT
IT OUT AND DISPLAY IT IN THEIR ROOM. MANY TEACHERS PRINT IT OUT AND DISPLAY
IT ON THEIR DOOR. PREVIOUS QUOTES OF THE DAY ARE DISPLAYED ALL OVER EVERETT
HIGH SCHOOL AS TEACHERS FIND A PARTICULAR QUOTE TO THEIR LIKING.
SOME OF OUR ALL TIME FAVORITES ARE REPRODUCED ON THIS PAGE.
OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE COLLECTED A BANK OF OVER 800 MOTIVATIONAL
QUOTES. OBVIOUSLY WE ARE NOT GOING TO PRINT ALL 800+ QUOTES HERE.
WE HAVE GATHERED QUOTES FROM MANY SOURCES. MOST OF THEM HAVE COME FROM SPORTS, BUSINESS, OR PSYCHOLOGY. MANY OF THE NAMES YOU WILL RECOGNIZE; OTHERS YOU MAY NOT, BUT THEY ARE ALL MOTIVATIONAL.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU OWN SET OF QUOTES YOU CAN ORDER A SET ON THE ORDER PAGE. I WILL SEND YOU A COMPLETE SET FOR YOUR OWN USE. THEY REALLY ARE BENEFICIAL.
IN OUR CHAMPIONSHIP TRAINING (PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS CLASS) WE USE
THE QUOTES ALL THE TIME. WE FIND OURSELVES REPEATING A CORE SET OF QUOTES
CONTINUOUSLY. WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT WE NEED ONLY SAY THE FIRST FEW WORDS
OF THE QUOTE, AND THE KIDS GO AHEAD AND COMPLETE THE QUOTE BEFORE WE CAN.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE PUT ON OUR QUOTE OF THE DAY MAILING LIST, JUST EMAIL ME AND I WILL PUT YOU ON THE LIST TO BE SENT A QUOTE OF THE DAY VIA EMAIL FOR YOU TO USE JUST LIKE THE TEACHERS AT EVERETT HIGH SCHOOL.
WHEN USED IN CLASS THE QUOTE OF THE DAY IS DISTRIBUTED AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS. EACH STUDENT IS GIVEN HIS OWN TO KEEP IN A THREE RING BINDER. IT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE QUOTE OF THE WEEK ABOVE EXCEPT IT SAYS QUOTE OF THE DAY.
THERE USUALLY IS A DISCUSSION THAT FOLLOWS THE QUOTE WHERE WE DISCUSS THE MEANING AND SIGNIFICANCE OF WHAT IT HAS TO SAY AND HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO APPLY ITS PRINCIPLES TO OUR EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES. SOMETIMES THIS DISCUSSION IS SHORT, BUT MOST OF THE TIME WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD DISCUSSION THAT LASTS 10 MINUTES OR SO WITH THE KIDS MAKING GOOD CONTRIBUTIONS.
SOMETIMES DURING THE DISCUSSION A STUDENT WILL COME UP WITH SOME INSIGHT OF THEIR OWN AND PRODUCE A QUOTE THEMSELVES THAT IS WORTHY OF ADDING TO THE LIST. THE ABOVE QUOTE OF THE WEEK IS SUCH AN EFFORT. WE WERE DISCUSSING A QUOTE ONE DAY AND OUR QB SAID,"COACH I THINK IT WOULD SOUND BETTER THIS WAY." AND A NEW QUOTE WAS CREATED THAT HAS BECOME ONE OF OUR TOP 5 FAVORITES.
IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE HERE, BELIEVE ME, YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY AND PUT TO GOOD USE THE OTHER QUOTES IN THE STACK. THEY ARE TRULY POWERFUL.
