This team has some talent but is severely lacking in leadership, discipline and the desire to push themselves to repeat. The seniors that we lost last year took almost all the leadership with them and they were a special group. However, this team has certain individuals capable of stepping into that role.

Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.

Why is discipline important? Discipline teaches us to operate by principle rather than desire. Saying no to our impulses (even the ones that are not inherently sinful) puts us in control of our appetites rather than vice versa. It deposes our lust and permits truth, virtue, and integrity to rule our minds instead.

Discipline. Anthony has that desire to be the best.

It has taken years and years and years of applying his talent and his mental desire to just get to the major leagues. And it just shows how fragile it is. You can blow it fairly easily.
