Stephens monday life thoughts (On a Tuesday)

Self Discipline
Working as a high school football I'm trying to teach my players self-discipline. This will help them when things get hard at the end of the game and it's time to dig deep. It's not easy when you are tired, completely drained, with bruised arms, and burping up your last meal to come to the field all pumped up and get seriously physical with somebody. But this is when games are won, and lost.
As I left the practice today I was thinking about what I just taught my players. I started to wonder if I can teach discipline in a world of excuses, self pity, laziness, and quitters. So few have the discipline it takes to really reach the goals they want to reach. If you can learn and master self discipline the world is yours for the taking and you will do anything you choose to do.
I found this article on "How to build self Discipline". Please read and start being the person you want to be. This article will be passed out to my high school football players, who are going to be the future of the world.
