A less serious one I got from a HC I used to work for: "If you got time to lean, you got time to clean." What's awesome is I was able to use that one in my summer restaurant job in a completely different context!
I like the simplicity of this one. I used to credit Mike Ditka for it, but I think he got it from someone else: "If you think you can, you're right. If you think you can't...you're right!"

LIFT OR LOSE

The pain of discipline or the pain of regret.
Champions are built on a thousand invisible mornings.
You can always do one more.
Effort.

I like quotes that promote personal improvement and getting better every day. I don't like quotes like "Those who stay will be champions" because not every team is championship caliber no matter how hard they work. I don't like sayings like "Championships are won in the weight room" because many are won at conception.

How about having your kids bring them in? Build it up, tell them what you're looking for in general. Let them make it "theirs."

“ Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
or
I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'

Champions arent made at the end of the season. They are made in the offseason.
If you only work hard on the days you feel good you won't get much done.

This is my favorite. I used to tell my offense before every game that I didnt care if we won or lost. I wanted the other team to say thank God we dont have to play them again. If every team did that, we would win more than we lost. |

Google the poem "The Squat" by Dale Clark.
Also, google an essay written by Henry Rollins titled "The Iron". My favorite part:
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

From my man Eliot Hulse
'Everyman carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. From the weight of frustrtion from not being able to find a job. To the weight of lethargy from not being able to sleep at night with that newborn baby. To the weight of rage for that woman who betrayed you even though you gave her your heart. But worst of all is the weight of carrying the fact that you know that you are not living up to the strength that is within you. Not being the strongest version of yourself. All of this resistance accumulates. It grows so heavy that your body feels like its going to break. So what does a man do when a man do when he feels like he is on the brink of destruction? What does a man do when it feels like the weight has become so unbearable? He learns to lift that {censored}! He learns it not because he has something to prove but because of who he is to become. When you discover that all of the challenges in your life are just like the plates that you slap on the barbell, your {censored} boss, sick baby, broken heart. And that each of them is designed specifically to strengthen weaknesses within your character. Your not only learn to accept these challenges but you beg for them. Pray! Lay your heavy burden on my shoulders so that I can grow strong. Bring it on ... because I lift that {censored} or die trying!'
Shorten as you see fit.

Another similar to deltas
"Respect me says the 405lb barbell. Put in the effort, the discipline, the sacrifice, the work needed to lift me once. But don't walk away so high and mighty as to think you have beaten me.
Respect me, and remain disciplined on your path so that you might wrestle with me again. You will leave here. Your life will go on. You will change for better or for worse. I will not change. When you return I will still be here. I will still weigh 405lbs, respect that, respect me."

King day, saw a great quote of his. "Life's most persistent and urgent question is "What are you doing for others?" Could modify this to "What are you doing today for your teammate?" |
