In sports, it's simple... you don't get what you want or deserve... you get what you earn. You have to relate all the good and bad things that happen to you to some type of cause and effect.
We play a competitive game and in that game there is adversity and failure. Once we understand the relationship of cause and effect, we can move forward and try to overcome that adversity and handle that failure in a productive way.
But an important part of understanding cause and effect is having to endure suffering. If every time something gets hard, someone fixes it for you, you never truly understand the consequences of your decisions.

It starts with self-discipline.
Discipline is doing what you are supposed to do, when you're supposed to do it, and the way it is supposed to be done. Discipline is not punishment. Discipline is changing your behavior.
As a coach, it is my responsibility to get players to do the right thing, not enable them to do the wrong thing.
We have principles and values in our program. Each player has to know and understand what is important within our program. Our principles start with helping each individual become successful as a person. We want the player to be more successful for having been in our program than she would have been if she were not here.

We are not just a collection of individuals... we are a team.
