The following is from Dr. Kevin Elko's book "Nerves of Steel." Dr. Elko is one of the nation's most sought after sports pyschologist and has worked with some of the top professional and collegiate sports programs. I first learned of Kevin through his work with Nick Saban and the LSU football team during their run for the 2003 National Championship. We later put him to work for our women's basketball team and he played a tremendous role in our team reaching the 2007 Final Four -- so much that our team voted to give him a Final Four ring. This will not be the last time I quote Kevin!
"If we satisfy four important needs, we can add meaning to our life. The needs are (1) to have purpose, which would include devising goals; (2) to have value, which would include our morals and ethics; (3) to feel effective, capable, or in control, and (4) to have self-worth, or to find a basis for feeling positive about our lives."
