Willingness

"People (players) seldom do things to the best of their abilities.  They do things to the best of their willingness."

I came across this quote via twitter this morning.  Its a reminder of why constant coaching is needed to maximize potential.  Its human nature to do just enough to get back.  We have to be pushed to maximize our talents.  Don't let your players "get through" or "get by" during a drill, practice or anything else you have influence over.  Be the consistent influence they need to become their best.
