Ultimately our aim in teaching student’s ChessLife Strategies is for students to learn how to translate their triumphs and mistakes on the chess board into practical considerations of risk verses the benefits of every issue that arises in their life. Eventually this should add a high degree of sophistication to their judgments and sensibility to their conduct.

It is these qualities that will one day mark them as mature and responsible citizens. In this way, chess can be used as an effective tool to instill logic, personal responsibility & an appreciation for intellectual achievement.

  • BE YOURSELF

  • B.E. Y.O.U. = Boldly Expand Your Ordained Uniqueness

    You cannot become something that is not the out-forming of your own inner potential.

    You can only be you. However, you can unfold and expand you.

  • I'MPOSSIBLE and so are YOU

  • I’MPOSSIBLE and so are YOU: With the proper belief and determination no greater than the size of an apostrophe (‘) you can turn the IMPOSSIBLE into a realization that says I’MPOSSIBLE!

  • TEAM WORK MAKES
    THE DREAM WORK

  • It takes a team to stream your dreams and if your dreams don’t consist of a team your dream isn’t big enough~ T. Magee

  • HARD WORK PAYS OFF

  • Your dream is an unborn possibility of limitless life & yours is the privilege of giving birth to it. ~ Butterworth

  • EVERYTHING SPEAKS

  • How you carry yourself… how well you get along with others… what makes you laugh…what you do behind close doors…

    it all speaks to the quality of ones character!

  • LEARNING = EARNING

  • We have erroneously thought of success as “getting there,” while actually it is perhaps more accurate to view success as “earning the right to be there.”

  • PREPARE...PREFORM

  • Proper Preparation Promotes Peak Performance

  • SETBACK COMEBACK

  • Every SETBACK is  a SETUP for a COMEBACK! SETBACKS are stepping stones toward your greater good. Getting knocked down is what makes you human. Getting back up is what makes you a Champion.
