THE STORY OF THE CHIPMUNK
As a child, I spent many summers exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Colorado with my family. In the midst of the towering mountains, meandering rivers, and vibrant forests, we would often encounter chipmunks scurrying about, their cheeks puffed with gathered provisions. These resourceful creatures were a constant reminder of the importance of hard work and preparation, qualities that are essential for success in any endeavor. Just as the chipmunk diligently gathers sustenance for the harsh winter ahead, aspiring athletes must dedicate themselves to unwavering training and self-discipline in order to achieve their goals. The chipmunk's unwavering determination and resilience serve as a powerful inspiration for anyone striving to reach their full potential.

Commitment - Do the things today that others won't do in order to have the things tomorrow that others won't have. -Les Brown
Humility - "But by the grace of God I am what I am and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.”
Investment - Get 1% better, every day.
Perseverance - Do not have a Plan B and press on during the tough times.
