DON MEYER: "Learn to handle winning because success can destroy you easier than failure."This is probably one of the most important lessons you can learn if you are interested in your program sustaining success over an extended period of time. The biggest battle of those individuals or teams that taste success is that of complacency. Coach Meyer often talks about treating today as if you'd lost last night.

If you as a competitor can tap into that intensity and level of concentration and commitment consistently after victory, than you truly have an opportunity to be the best you can be.
