Good teams practice with enthusiasm and zest...a quiet gym is a losing gym...Enthusiasm = Excellence...demand energy.

All the time -- not a sometime thing..."sheepdog mentality"...persistent, enthused, work, everyday.
ATTITUDE
Body language is important.
PRECISION
Exactness...attention to detail...accuracy...sharpness of approach.
ENHANCEMENT
Contribute to the environment -- don't contaminate it...make it better doing something extra...expect to do more that your expected to...do extra...come earlier, stay later, compliment someone, smile, push a broom, pick up trash...and don't expect praise for doing something extra.
One of Dena's favorite quotes: "Championships are won with high levels of energy, spirit, and enthusiasm."
