Effort

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up knowing it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve.

It does not matter whether you’re a Lion or a Gazelle when the sun comes up you better be running

COACHES – Think like a farmer

  1. Don’t shout at the crops
  2. Don’t blame the crops for not growing fast enough
  3. Don’t uproot crops before they’ve had a chance to grow
  4. Choose the best plants for the soil
  5. Irrigate, fertilise and remove weeds

Remember you will have good seasons and bad seasons – you can’t control the weather only be prepared for it
