These are the things that I will try to instill in my athletes:  love of the sport, love of competition, willingness to sacrifice self for the good of the team, a tireless work ethic, willingness to help others achieve, willingness to learn new concepts, and not afraid of failure.  Finally - no whining, no complaining and don't make excuses.

"Character, so hard to develop, so easy to lose. It is both the strength by which we lead and the weakness by which we fail. Character is not something that, once attained, is permanent. Character building is a life-long task. Evaluating the state of our own character is a tricky business - we all tend to see ourselves as we'd like to be, not as we really are. Yet we need some kind of ongoing assessment if we are going to grow." -- John C. Maxwell
