I'm trying out for a college basketball team and it seems everyone doesn't believe in me. I need some quotes or good words of encouragment that i can post up on my walls so that I forget what others are saying! Thank you

I hate it when that happens. People believe if they couldnt do it neither can you. Its either that or a waste of time...good luck and I truly hope that these help:))

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
-Ayn Rand

A good song to listen before the tryouts is... The Second Coming by Juelz Santana featuring Just Blaze.

A coach (at Mizzou) told me that he took me because I was a team player. He said "Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to do very uncommon things!" Remember this when you tryout; coaches aren't always just interested in your lone ability, but are focused on where your heart is and what you bring to the TEAM!

When you believe in yourself and the things that you do (and you have fun and enjoy doing it) the universe will align itself to you and you WILL do all that you desire.
