Bob Hurley is perhaps the greatest high school basketball coach that has ever coached.  The coach at St. Anthony's HS in New Jersey is a living legend.  Check out this remarkable quote from Hurley in a recent article, good enough for anyone's mirror:

“That’s why we say, ‘It’s hard to be good,’” Hurley said, slowing the pace of his words and speaking softly before repeating again, “It’s hard to be good.
“Because you have to work at it, and you have to work at it. And you have to work at it all the time. And you have to work at it intelligently. Your mark is what you do on a day when you don’t want to do it. How good are you on a day when you just don’t have it? Can you push yourself that day? That’s a mark of your character. The people that just only do well on days they feel like doing well, they’re not going to handle life’s obstacles.”
