“The Three Don’ts”

Don’t whine

 Don’t Complain

Don’t make excuses

--John Wooden

These three don’ts are something that every athlete has to live by in order to play. What wooden is trying to say is that these three actions only stunt your growth as a player and as a person. When you just complain, whine, and make excuses you go nowhere and never improve. In my lacrosse practice whenever we complain we do sprints as a team, if we make excuses we run a mile. The importance of this is that all of the consequences to the complaining and excuse making our coach gives us makes us never complain, whine, or make excuses we just endure.
