Three rules to live by... 1. Do what is right. 2. Do everything to the best of your ability. 3. Show people you care.

Dean Smith said, "The most important thing in good leadership is truly caring. The best leaders in any profession care about the people they lead, and the people who are being led know when the caring is genuine or when it is fake or not there at all." Leaders Care. Here are 3 takeaways for all coaches and leaders... 1. Show You Care: Dean Smith says that the most important thing for a leader is to genuinely care about the people they lead. Understanding and looking out for the well-being of the people on your team are what leading is all about. 2. Be Real: It's essential for leaders to be real, honest, and authentic. If you genuinely care, people can tell. But if you're pretending or not really caring, that comes across too. So, being yourself and genuinely caring about your team helps build trust. 3. Actions Speak Louder: Just saying you care isn't enough; your actions should show it. "I hear what you say, but trust what you do." Leaders need to do things that prove they care – like supporting their team, giving helpful feedback, and being invested in the success of each team member. When your caring is visible and felt, it makes a positive difference in the team. It is critical to be genuine as a coach or leader. Be yourself. And make sure your players know how much you care. _____ Follow me @gregberge for more actionable ideas on coaching, leadership, and personal growth.

Northwestern football was 1-11 last year. Finish the regular season at 7-5. New coach. Doesn’t run off players INSTEAD the coaches developed and invested in the current players. I love a coach building a program this way!

"We talk about the will to win. Let's eliminate the will to win and think about the will to prepare to win. Because the preparation is much more important. Everyone wants to win, but not everybody wants to prepare to win." - Bob Knight

"A coach will impact more people in one year than the average person will in an entire lifetime." (Billy Graham)

When a player can withstand extremely tough coaching and handle his coach telling him the truth, amazing things can happen, and the relationship between player and coach becomes unbreakable.
