DISCIPLINE

A champion pays an extra price to be better than anyone else.
Paul “Bear” Bryant


When No One Else Is Looking
Discipline is what you do when no one else is looking! It’s being considerate of the other person. Having good personal habits – you are polite, on time, and take care of business with pride. We must be disciplined as individuals first, and then as a team.

Only a fool despises discipline; whoever learns from correction is wise.
Proverbs 15:5

Self-discipline is when you tell yourself to do something and you don’t talk back.
W.K. Hope

A Disciplined Player…
1. Knows the importance of being on time.
2. Has learned the value of regular hours and good training habits from working hard in practice.
3. Has learned that the team comes before himself. This strengthens his character as he is sometimes called upon to sacrifice for others.
4. Has learned to take orders; in taking orders, he learns how to give them.
5. Knows that discipline is the essence of every successful organization; as a member of the team, he understands that need for it.
6. Has learned that many of these things establish a degree of self-discipline.

A Disciplined Football Team…

You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.
Rosalynn Carter

It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action and discipline that enabled us to follow through.
