"That's impossible!" Something that I have heard more times than I can count, especially in the realm of athletics. The statement is very TRUE. It is true because our mind makes it true. We have already set a limit on what we can and can't do. The statement usually comes up when playing a formidable opponent. For example, I coached a team who ended up playing the previous year's state champ. The game was lost before we even showed up to play. Players began saying, "at least we made it this far, and we have had a good season..." Our bodies have a habit of conforming to our minds.
Team leaders and captains have to fully believe they can achieve their goals. Players on a team look up to their leadership to set the tone. Players on a team will live up to the expectations of their leadership. If the team leaders have a horrible and/ or defeated attitude, it will infiltrate the rest of the team.
I have added a clip from "Facing The Giants." The clip has a good message, "Nothing is Impossible." It also shows how important the leader is to his team and his coach. I hope you enjoy the clip.

"Facing the Giants" is one of my favorite movies and this scene is probably my favorite scene of the whole movie because it shows that you can do anything if you put your mind to it!
You are exactly right! We can almost always do more than we THINK we can.
