Beware Success Can Bring Self Sabotaging Behavior

Three Reasons Players Fall From Grace

Aaron Hernandez

1. Success or Failure Starts at Home When No One Is Looking

2. Friends You Choose; Have a Life and Death Impact;  In Your Life and Career

3. Bad Company Corrupts Good Character

Fran Tarkenton on Why So Many (29) NFL Players Arrested

ATTLEBORO, Mass. -- New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of a friend.  

A former pro hockey player Michael McBain sentenced to 15 years for sexually assaulting a girl over a four-year period.

Former NFL tight end Mark Chmura was selected by the Packers. Chmura was charged with sexually assaulting his children's babysitter.

Darryl Strawberry was the next great MLB hitter. Most of his career was overshadowed by struggles with alcohol and substance abuse.

Marion Jones became the first woman to win five medals at a single Olympics in 2000. After testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs and pleading guilty to federal charges stemming from perjury and her role in the BALCO scandal, Jones was stripped of her medals in 2007, banned from the 2008 Beijing Olympics and sentenced to six months in prison and two years of probation.

Never Lose Hope

Don't Quit Poem

-Anonymous

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest! if you must; but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow;
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
