Embrace ‘I don’t know.’ It doesn’t signify weakness but an opportunity to learn. Asking questions builds wisdom. True leaders respect those who admit when they don’t know. #CoachAvery

It’s important to surround yourself with people who WANT you to succeed, not people who just SAY they do. As Warren Buffet once said, Look for 3 things in a person - intelligence, energy, & integrity. If they don’t have the last one, don’t even bother with the first two.

KIRBY SMART ON BEING GREAT

'There's one way. The right way. The hard way. There are no shortcuts.

When the alarm goes off...if you wanna be a really good player, you're gonna get up & go to class.

You've gotta do something somebody else isn't willing to do.'

~ Terry College | UGA

Be careful who you surround yourself with. Everyone isn’t truly trying to help you.
