It’s one of Coach Carroll’s greater mantras. If you attack every task on every day with the mentality to “do it better than it has ever been done before,” you are striving for success.

It’s a deliberate and purposeful way to maximize your potential–in anything you pursue.  Whether it’s in your professional career or recreational basketball game, we all strive to maximize our potential.

If you want to be uncommon with your actions and skills, you need to know that everything counts to perform to the best of your ability.

What are you waiting for? Let’s go attack this day.

The Seahawks used their 25th pick in this year’s draft to acquire Percy Harvin from the Minnesota Vikings, so it looks like they will have a quiet first round tonight.
