This is the greatest thing about sports - you play to win the game. Hello? You don't play to just play it. When you start telling me it doesn't matter, then retire, get out, because it matters.
Herman EdwardsRead
A goal without a plan is a wish. What's your plan? It's on you, because you have to do all the work.
