Character is formed in the dark. Mindset is formed in the dark. Commitment is formed in the dark. Greatness is formed in the dark. Skill is formed in the dark. You get better when nobody is watching. Prepare for the moment so you’re prepared in the moment. Do the work.

"I follow three rules: Do the right thing, do the best you can, and always show people you care." — Lou Holtz

It’s ok to be nervous before games. It means you’re motivated, and it's this motivation that can drive you to succeed despite being nervous.

If you want your team to be calm under pressure, you must be calm under pressure. If you want your team to be consistent, you must be consistent. If you want your team to be accountable, you must be accountable. Live the standard, no excuses. Lead yourself first.

When you're unhappy with your current situation, you have three choices: One, improve your attitude. Two, make changes to your situation. Or three, do nothing and remain unhappy.

What is the path to playing time? - Team-first - Be a competitor - Positive attitude - Make hustle plays - A winning mindset - Bring positive energy - Do more than expected - Be a communicator on the court. Control the controllable.

Always respect your opponent, but never fear them. Believe in yourself, no matter how difficult the challenge is!

Talking about it won’t make you better. Thinking about it won’t make you better. Hoping for it won’t make you better. Eventually you have to show up and do the work. The work is the shortcut.

You can’t just go through the motions and expect to play well in games. Your heart has to be in it!

PLAYERS: There will come a time when your season asks you what you did during off-season. Every day is a chance to get better. You don't have to tell anyone how committed you are - just show them!.

“To be successful at anything, you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it. No shortcuts.” — Tom Brady

You don’t develop patience without having to wait. You don’t develop strength without going through struggle. You don’t develop character without being tested. You don’t develop resilience without facing setbacks. “A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.” Do the work.

I am convinced that Leadership is about Energy. What type of energy do you exude? - Positive energy is contagious - Competitive energy is contagious. - Team-first energy is contagious. This is why teams consistently win. They have leaders who transfer this energy to others.

Every athlete experiences pressure in games. It's how you view and manage pressure that determines how well you perform under it.

Training is 24/7. Everything you do throughout the day, from your diet to your sleep, affects your performance in games.
