    People won't remember what you did. People won't remember what you said. But people will always remember the way you made them feel.

    Blood, sweat, tears. No practice tommorow 'cause there's no one left to beat.

    It's not about getting a scholarship, getting drafted, or making Sports Center. It's a deep need in us that comes from the heart. We need to practice, play, to lift, to hustle, to sweat, to compete. We do it all for our teammates. We don't lift weights with a future Olympic wrestler; we lift with a future doctor. We don't run with a future Wimbledon champion; we run with a future CEO. It's a bigger part of us than our friends and family can understand. Sometimes we play for 200,000 fans, sometimes for 25. But we still play hard. You cheer for us because you know us. You know more than just our names. Like all of you, we are still students first. We don't sign autographs for money. But we do sign college applications, SAT exams, and student body petitions. When we miss a kick, or strike out, we don't let down an entire state. We only let down our teammates, coaches, and fans. But the hurt in our hearts is the same. We train hard. Lift, throw, run, kick, shoot, dribble, swim, and lift some more, and in the morning we go to class. Still the next day in class we are nothing more than students. It's about pride; in ourselves, in our school. It's about our love and passion for the game. And when it's all over; when we walk off that court or field for the last time, our hearts crumble. Those tears are real. But deep down inside, we are very proud of ourselves. We will forever be what few can call ourselves.. high school athletes

    It does not take talent to win...just blood, sweat, heart, tears, time, and a good coach.

    Sure theres the wind sprints, suicides, mile runs, max-out days, and months of conditioning that make us wonder why we, as athletes, keep giving 110 percent day in and day out. But then we give the simple answer that its for the love of the game. And that we live for those long bus rides, sleeping in hotels and making new friends that you'll keep for a lifetime. Its those hours of pushing your body to the limit, telling yourself that its you against the world, and blasting your ipod so that you cant hear yourself breathing that we'll remember and cherish forever.

    Behind every fearless player is a fearless coach who refused to let them be anything but the best they can be.

    " LIFE is like VOLLEYBALL.....we SERVE ourselves, we PASS things along, we SET things up, and we FINISH things off. Sometimes we have to RECOVER, but eventaully we ROTATE and the cycle continues. "
