@SeanTeakle Amen! 1. Great teams contain great people; high character, selfless, everyone leads and serves..players and staff. 2. The better the team does, the more each person gains recognition. 3. When you CARE about your team, you will go the extra mile, improving you in every way.

"Energy is a choice not a feeling. If you are going to be successful in anything in life, you have to be a creator of positive, productive energy. Success requires energy, and high levels of success requires high levels of sustained positive energy." @TimothyKight

"The championship is not played today. All you can take from today, win or loss, is what kind of habits you build today. We have to keep the focus on ourselves and how we can build good habits throughout every game we play." @Giannis_An34 Your process will dictate your progress.

"The Kid In The Driveway" A place we can immediately transport ourselves back to and vividly recall the games, the joy, and the feelings. I use this place as a coaching tool to help elite athletes who may be struggling to handle pressure situations. A thread 🧵

With tonight’s win, the Pats have secured a spot in the 2022-2023 OJHL playoffs #BurnTheBoats

"In the long run, if you confront people & you demand that they do it the right way. It creates value for them, because they are learning accountability. It also helps you have a better team, because everybody on the teams see that everybody is held to the same standard."-Saban

Your Faith muscles must be developed! Do u really Believe, Trust , Rely & Know that God has yo back & he is who he says he is. This can't be questioned regardless of what life throws your way. Faith ain't Faith unless it's challenged & u still Believe. #CoachPrime

Press play!

Practice angling every day.

"I'm cool with my kids failing. It's part of the process. Every day there is adversity. It's okay to make a mistake. Get back up & keep going forward." @KirkHerbstreit Don't protect our kids from adversity. Prepare them for it.

Trust. This is a coach asking for trust. In my opinion the biggest difference between those teams that we’ve all loved in the past, and teams that we hated being a part of.

Kirby Smart just led the Georgia Bulldogs to their second-straight National Championship — the first coach to do so since Nick Saban over a decade ago. How has he built an intense and successful culture? With 4 key program values — and we can apply them to our own teams:

"Everybody has to sacrifice to be on a great team... No individual stat/accolade can measure up to being on a winning team that's having fun."@jaytatum0 Success comes when teammates begin to play for each other NOT with each other. They're willing to do more,give more,& be more.

Multi-sport athletes, who play hockey, shouldn’t be punished for attending their in season sport like soccer or football in the fall if conflicts occur. Coaches we need to be better at allowing this & parents we need to help advocate this for our child. #ShrinksSundaySermon

“The culture precedes positive results.  It doesn’t get tacked on as an afterthought on your way to the victory stand.  Champions behave like champions before they’re champions; they have a winning standard of performance before they are winners.” - Bill Walsh

Merry Christmas 🎄

There's no such thing as 'quality' time: Time is time. In fact, as Jerry Seinfeld said, garbage time — eating cereal together late at night, laying around on the couch — is actually the best time. Forget chasing HUGE experiences. It’s all wonderful, if you so choose.

Don’t think. Don’t overanalyze. Do the work.

Cultivate a fearless approach to life, attack everything with boldness and energy.
