Welcome to another season of Lake Placid Blue Bomber Baseball. Last year's Sectional Title is to be savored but it also to be placed on the mantle for another time in your life. A new season brings with it new hopes, new challenges - and new goals.
Coach Brandes and I are excited for the new season to unfold and for the possibilities it will bring. As part of my role, I will primarily use this blog to share famous quotes with you - some from athletes - and some not - but all with a purpose of helping you gain insight into yourselves about the challenges and joys of sport....and life.
Happy reading!
-- Coach Rossi
This particular quote seems to fit as we transition from hockey and hoops to baseball........
"It is not the critic that matters, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short from time to time because there can be no accomplishment or even effort without error and shortcomings, who knows great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows the high achievement of triumph, or who at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows his place shall NEVER be with those timid and cold souls who know neither victory or defeat.
-- President Teddy Roosevelt
