What’s your mantra? Whether it’s an inspirational quote, advice from a coach or mentor, or something your parents instilled in you… they are the words you live by. The words that propel you forward to accomplish what you set your mind to. It’s sometimes that one quote that speaks to you at the exact moment you need it.
At Sport Chalet, we are passionate about inspiring others to get out to do the things they love and to dominate their sport, whether it’s climbing a mountain peak, a winning touchdown or finishing a 5k. Our mantra?

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race” -Calvin Coolidge

Sometimes life throws you a curve-ball. It’s up to you to step up to the plate and knock it out of the park!
You can rest when you die!
Sleep is the best part of the day. Best cure for insomnia is wine. If that fails, resort to whiskey.
I can do better.
It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up and conquer the world.
Never try; only succeed.
Life is not a spectator sport, get up and go do something fun & exciting.

Champions are not driven by the desire for victory, but by the desire to pursue greatness.
To live life, you must be an adventurist. To be an adventurist you must have an adventure. To have an adventure, you must get off Facebook.
