Mandy turns 21 at midnight!!!!

So i was cleaning out my desk because I am packing to come back to Boston in the morning (so pumped) and my mommy made me do it.

But as I was rummaging through everything, I found two pages of typed up quotes from high school lax. let me share some with you...

"All winning teams are goal-oriented. Teams like these win consistently because everyone connected with them concentrates on specific objectives. They go about their business with blinders on; nothing will distract them from achieving their aims."

-Lou Holtz, Notre Dame football coach

"If you are trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them, everybody has had them. Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out a way to climb it, go through it, or work around it."

Michael Jordan

"To succeed... you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you."

-Tony Dorsett

"The important thing is to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could be."

-Charles DuBois

*This last quote is my favorite one. As laxpower.com showed us, some people doubt us. In fact, most people do. We've always been the team that surprises people with how good we are. Except, come NCAA's, we haven't surprised anyone in past years. This is our year. We have a team with 24 girls who won't quit and who are willing to do ANYTHING to beat the odds. Read this next quote and think about it.... this is our year. When we give it everything we've got, until there's nothing left to give, the cards will fall in our hands.

"When you're playing against a stacked deck, compete even harder. Show the world how much you'll fight for the winners circle. If you do, someday the cellophane will crackle off a fresh pack, one that belongs to you, and the cards will be stacked in your favor."

-Pat Riley
