110% isn't the Goal
"The Players were charged with trying to improve a little each day, trying to get closer to becoming their best. I tried to be hoonest with them in letting them know they wouldn't reach perfection.
But I was also honest in saying that I expected them to give everything they had in trying to reach perfection.
That's what we worked toward. Let's see how close we can get. We won't reach 120%, or even 110%, but how close to 100% of our potential can we get?
That was my challenge to them: How close can we get to perfect?
When individuals are sincerely motivated to take up that challenge, the results are astonishing."
"Are you a failure if you do your best?"
"Did you REALLY win if you gave a second-rate effort?"
-John Wooden
