“It’s hard to do a really good job on anything you don’t think about in the shower.” ― Paul Graham

“I always remind myself that you learn forever and from everyone. That is why, with everyone I meet, I try to listen with an open mind and the willingness to learn. You never know when or from whom your next great lesson will come from.” - Mike 'Coach K' Krzyzewski.

Be firm on values, but flexible in decision making and strategy.

“Bad leaders see smart people as threats. Good leaders see them as force multipliers. The strongest builders don’t protect their ego — they weaponize the experience around them.” #LIFERS

Make your own box. ⚔️

Never ask for buy-in to your culture. Just execute it. Show people it works. Buy-in is a result of making people productive and delivering on what they value. Less time demanding buy-in. More time demonstrating value. People will buy-in when it works. Prove that it works.

As a coach, be open-minded, listen to new ideas, and be willing to evolve with your sport. Closed-minded and stubborn coaches eventually fall behind.

Remember that not everyone will drive standards of excellence or align with your values and ways of functioning. High standards aren’t for everyone, just like excellence isn’t for everyone.

Picking the right high school coach and program is still the most significant part of a player’s developmental journey. That’s why parents, not high school state associations, should be the ones deciding where their kids play.

I challenged our Leadership class to post some of their favorite leadership lessons up to this point. Mine: If you plant SELFISHNESS, you will harvest DISTRUST. When people figure out you don't care about their success or wellbeing, they lose trust in the leadership.

“A shark in a fish tank will grow 8 inches, but in the ocean, that same shark would grow over 8 feet.” Environment can stunt you. You probably know you can be bigger than your current tank. Look around and position for growth...

I'm convinced that there is one skill that separates truly intelligent people from those who aren't: Listening well. I love this idea of "being a recorder" from Rick Rubin. Remember, the loudest person in the room is often the one with the least interesting things to say.

The best coaches simplify the complex, not complicate the simple. If your players need a PhD to understand your playbook, it's a bad playbook.

The pursuit of excellence drives more value than the result. People pursuing excellence already know that. It’s the people who aren’t pursuing excellence that doubt it.
