"Time lost is time lost. It's gone forever. Some people tell themselves that they will work twice as hard tomorrow to make up for what they did not do today. People should always do their best. If they can work twice as hard tomorrow, then they should have worked twice as hard today. That would have been their best. Catching up leaves no room for them to do their best tomorrow. How will you spend your 86,400 seconds today? How can you make today a masterpiece?"
The first day of try-outs I told the girls about this philosophy, I told them the importance of giving their best every second. Sometimes the window of opportunity only presents itself one time in your life and if you're at your best when that window comes around, the chance of you making it through that window are GREAT.
