Failure is not something to be ashamed of, it's something to be powered by. Failure is the highest octane fuel your life can run on. You gotta learn to make failure your fuel.

Die Geschichte hinter diesem Zitat
Wambach's first rule for the 'wolf pack' drew from her experience visiting the US Women's National Team locker room as a young player. The image taped next to the door — the last thing every player saw before training — wasn't a photo of their greatest victory. It was a picture of their rival, the Norwegian national team, celebrating after beating the USA in the 1995 World Cup. That photo taught Wambach that the feelings and lessons of failure must be transformed into power, not shame.
