Winning. It's what we play the games for. it's the root of one's competitive fire. And it's something that is much bigger than sport- life is a competition, with people constantly trying to better than the person next to them.
"Just win, baby."
"You play to win the game."
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
The quotes are everywhere, printed on t-shirts, plastered all over locker rooms around the world. Winning. It's what we play the games for. It's the root of one's competitive fire. And it's something that is much bigger than sport- life is a competition, with people constantly trying to better than the person next to them.

Our primary focus is on player development … winning is secondary.
