Motivational sayings for my wall

[woody_968]

Im in the process of setting up my new home room, and would like to put some motivating quotes up on the walls. Like "we play like we practice".

What are some quotes that you like to use with students, for self motivation, or to just get your mind in the right place during practice sessions?

If you have not considered it framed photos of past champions can help you in the same regard, with the added value of really improving the look of the room.

I have a number of these in my room.

Trying to think of some saying but your suggestion is perfect.
A friend of mine even has a photo of a Women Curling Champion on his wall.
The Consentration she shows on her face is what he wants to achieve
for every shot.
