What is Success?

'Success is a result of consistent practice of winning skills and actions. There is nothing miraculous about the process. There is no luck involved. Amateurs hope, Professionals work.'

Bill Russell, ex Boston Celtic player, who many Americans regard as the greatest team player of the 20th century.

Excellence Under Pressure

‘We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.’ Aristotle

‘There is no substitute for excellence. Not even success. Many people, particularly in sports believe that success and excellence are the same. They are not.
