Words that stick
 The following comments and statements have remained in my mental memory box since they were expressed to me.
1. What I remember most about my mother's guidance was that she always told us to count our blessings whenever things were getting bad. 2. Coach Bill Ruple wrote these words in my annual. I had been having some leg problems that really set me back during spring training my freshman year. "Rob, your day will come." That remark was all that I needed. Things did get better. 3. My mother always told me to hold my shoulders up.
4. John Pennel the World Record holder in the pole vault was watching me long jump. He came over and told me that I should be jumping three feet farther. Within in the next four or five jumps, John had me hitting right at 23'. Did he give me a magic pill? No, John had the mind of a world champion. He had no limits. That is exactly what he did to me. He took my mind and released all the limitations.
