Illinois Elite Basketball Club: Inspiration

Whether You Think You Can or Can't You're Probably Right

 

If you think you are beaten, you are;

If you think that you dare not, you don’t

If you’d like to win, but you think you can’t

It’s almost certain you won’t 

If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost.

For out in the world you’ll find

Success begins with woman’s will.

It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are;

You’ve got to think high to rise;

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize

Life’s battles don’t always go

To the stronger or faster woman;

But sooner or later the woman who wins

Is the woman who thinks she CAN!
