Don't take this the wrong way, but most student-athletes reading this tip are not the best players on their team. Not only that, they probably aren't the fastest, strongest or biggest. How does an athlete overcome those challenges? 

If you are looking for hope and inspiration to start this New Year, look no further than this quote from arguably the best golfer of all-time, Tiger Woods.

"People don't understand that when I grew up, I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly was never the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic, and that's been what has gotten me this far."

Developing a solid work ethic not only helps you in the classroom and sports, it also helps you in the game of life!
