A Winner’s Promise

I will have confidence in myself and put my trust in God

I will have courage for the big things and patience for the small things

I will admit mistakes, learn forgiveness and go on with the game

I will not call myself a loss or a failure until I’ve failed to try

I will set sound, worthy goals and work for them

one day at a time and one play at a time

I will do what I can and not worry about scoring, winning and making the big plays,

because just doing my best and playing fair is what really makes me a winner both in life and on the playing field

Saluti e Buon Appetito, "Rocky I"
