Good afternoon, Lady White Tigers Basketball Families!
February is upon us! I read a poem, entitled "A Champion Believes," written by Coach Jeff Smith, a former University of Dayton Women's Basketball Coach. I was particularly impacted by the second verse of this poem:
Skill is an important commodity,
Essential to every endeavor.
But champions are not always the more skilled,
Or more agile, strong, or clever.
The champion is made of characteristics
Vital to all he achieves,
But he stands apart, because in his heart,
The Champion simply believes.
As we go through this week, let's continue to encourage and to inspire our Lady White Tigers to simply believe with their heads and their hearts that they will achieve success in their lives, and let's cheer them on when they achieve the successes in their lives! The sky is the limit when we play as one!
