    A man of character finds a special attractiveness in difficulty, since it is only by coming to grips with difficulty that he can realize his potentialities

    Our players have character. They shouldn't be scared by being in the bottom three because it is only from being in the battle that they will grow as players

    Sounds like he'd been reading his Marcus Aurelius.

    "Oh, wretched I, to whom this mischance is happened! Nay, happy I, to whom this thing being happened, I can continue without grief; neither wounded by that which is present, nor in fear of that which is to come. For as for this, it might have happened unto any man, but any man having such a thing befallen him, could not have continued without grief. Why then should that rather be an unhappiness, than this a happiness?"

    Those stoics, they had their heads screwed on if you ask me.
