Be TOUGH. Be the TOUGHEST

You don't have to be the biggest, strongest, fastest or even the most skilled to be the best. You really don't even have to be the 'best' to be the best.  If you can be the TOUGHEST you can beat them all.

Being the TOUGHEST means competing.  Every possession.  Every day.
Being the TOUGHEST means you are willing to outwork your opponent.  When they quit, you keep going.  When they slow down, you keep going.

Being the TOUGHEST means you never quit.  You might get beat, but you don't quit.

Being the TOUGHEST means being the one who tries the new move.  They know that learning is a part of getting better and they know that messing up is a part of learning.  
The TOUGHEST might lose the ball, but they sprint back.
The TOUGHEST go get it knowing that they might fail.  But the TOUGHEST know that if they do fail, they are TOUGH and TOUGH people always figure it out and correct their mistakes.  

The TOUGHEST might get beat on a play but they hustle back and fix it. 

Being the TOUGHEST means being the one who isn't too afraid to try. You might get scared, but you have the courage to try.

The TOUGH ONES knows that being afraid is a part of life, but they don't let fear run their life.

The TOUGH ONES go at it even when they are afraid.  That is what courage is.  That is what being TOUGH is.  

Be one of the TOUGH ONES.  Be the TOUGHEST.
