"Respect for our family and our ancestors." And then pointing at the words, as if translating, they continue, "We stand on this field ready to battle. At our backs we feel the might of tradition. Remembering, we honor our family and our ancestors who have gone before. Over our hearts we bear the emblem to die for, this challenge is now thrown to you."

Challenge - Kia Kaha. To be Forever Strong

I Want You To Be Forever Strong On The Field, So That You Can Be Forever Strong Off The Field

Good Decisions Don't Make Life Easy, But They Do Make It Easier. Plan tomorrow - today!

Another great lesson from the movie Forever Strong. When you perform poorly or have a bad day, gather information about what happened, flush the emotions, and get yourself back on track.

One of the lessons taught to us in the movie Forever Strong, is the concept of listen right.  Use this concept to help you become the best version of yourself and understand the importance of playing like it is your last game.

Instead of being in a Tug Of War with the ones that care about you, stand back to back, with arms locked.  Nothing will come in between you.

Evidence suggests that teammates who touch each other liberally on the court -- high-fives, fist-bumps, hugs, pats and the like -- tend to do that better than players who don't.

“It is real simple. If you want to be a good teammate and if you want people to like you, you MUST be a fountain. Your team does not need drains. Drains only clog thing up.”

The goal with training the mental game is to shift your perspective and see the bigger picture. Make sure you are controlling the things you can control and focus on mastering your perception.

Most people think that the only way to consider yourself successful, is when you are at the finish line. Gain new perspective on the definition of success so that you can feel successful even before you are at the goal.
