Building Self-Worth Through Sports:


We base our Team's success on players having a great attitude and work ethic. It is mistake to develop kids self-worth on wins and loses or who is the best player. We never worry about winning. Every kid can not become a professional player. We want our players to base their self-image on attitude and work ethic.  We want this to become a life time habit.


The ERZURUM GENÇLİK 14 team has only lost one game in two seasons. We never once have talked about winning!  We only focus on the process of improving.  Self-esteem can be enhanced by positive experiences in sports. We stress to players, If they have a good attitude and work hard they are successful 


We stress the following every day:

“The spirit, the will to win and the will to excel – these are the things that endure and these are the qualities that are so much more important than any of the events that occasion them.”

“There’s only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything. I do, and I demand that my players do.” -Vince Lombardi 

“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will.” 
 -Vince Lombardi 

“You never win a game unless you beat the guy in front of you. The score on the board doesn’t mean a thing. That’s for the fans. You’ve got to win the war with the man in front of you. You’ve got to get your man.”
