Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because the know a better chapter lies ahead."

This is one of the phrases that my mother has always said. They may only be two simple words, but they are great words to live by. She always told us the world was not going to stop and come to us, but we had to COWBOY UP and go after what we wanted. She is extremely loving and extremely wise!

This is on the back of one of my power cheerleading sweatshirts. In order to win or succeed at anything, you have to try. You never know what you can do until you try. Never say "can't" because can't means "won't try." I'm a gymnastics coach, and a lot of kids say, "I can't", and at the gymnastics club, "can't" is known as a bad word, because it is so negative. When they say can't, I tell them to say in their head, "yes I can", and that does make a difference, because if they believe in themselves, then they can do anything they set their mind to and so can everyone else. Remember, "Not winning isn't the worst of failures, not to have tried is the true failure."
