INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:

“It's easy to be really bad. And, if you're focused, you could be really good. But being ‘just good enough’ to not make ripples - that is almost impossible.” – Brian Buffini

“There's no way you can just be ‘good enough.’” – Terrell Davis

“You never know how life is going to turn out. You never know what the twists and turns are. It's always darkest before the dawn.” – Brian Buffini

“A lot of people can relate to setbacks, failures and also, when given the opportunity, not stepping up to bat. And I just think in God's good timing, we always seem to get another opportunity and we never know when it's coming. Even when we think we have it all figured out.”  – Brian Buffini

“Everybody has defining moments. Everybody has this fear of success. Everybody has these opportunities. Everybody needs a coach. Everyone needs someone to believe in. But, when the time comes, we’ve got to put the hot dog down and do what we can.” – Brian Buffini

“Be true to the game and the game will be true to you.” – Coach Frank White
