You believed in Santa for about 10 years. So the least you can do is start believing in yourself.

This video is from the first 2 weeks Ben McCollum was on campus as the Head Coach of Iowa They are now in the Elite 8 in year one “Your job is to not be here for yourself, it’s to be here for everybody else” (Via @IowaHoops 🎥)

Why not us?

“You’re going to have to show up on days that are hard. That shared commitment, purpose, relentless no matter if you’re getting the results you want or not. When you operate like that in life you set yourself up for success. But even if you don’t succeed, you’ll still be a winner,” Shea Ralph

🚨💣 Marcelo Bielsa drops PURE football philosophy 🔊 “There is a short path to winning, which is to play better than the opponent. There is a more accessible path: I’m not going to play well, but I’m going to prevent the other from doing so.” “When you try to play well, you have to assume a risk.”

The best coaches aren't controllers; they’re facilitators. We give them the tools, but they have to build the house. Empowered athletes become resilient leaders.

Today is World Bear Day.

What does Pep Guardiola say is the key to a stable team? 👉 Work rate. For Pep, talent alone isn’t enough. Effort, discipline, and commitment to the team come first. He explained here how Savinho was left out of the team for a period because he needed to understand and embrace the level of work ethic required. At Manchester City, the expectations are clear. The team’s demands are non negotiable. No one is allowed to fall below the collective standard. Don't Work = Don't Play #PepGuardiola #ManchesterCity

“I’m just a guy who shows up to work everyday and cares about people.” 🔥 A coach's most IMPORTANT JOBS: 1. Culture creation 2. Culture Maintenance Your culture is only as strong as what you tolerate. Before you can build VALUE you have to have TRUST. Players don't care about your resume as much as they care about how much you care about them, separate from their performance on the floor. Joe Mazulla eloquently speaks on this 👇 🎥 @ClifMarshall

Duke women’s basketball HC Kara Lawson talks about adversity her team suffered starting the season 3-9, faced 6 ranked teams. Winners of 16 straight! People called for her job. I asked her about the heated discussions. “We don’t get to determine the length of our adversity”

Coach the game

Here you go : all Cristiano Ronaldo's goals from the 2007-08 season. Enjoy!

Your culture is healthy when people keep showing up, keep trusting, keep believing, keep fighting even when things don't go as expected, when wins are few and far between, when it's a struggle. Belief, in the vision and in each other, fuels culture.

A coaching philosophy represents the beliefs, values and guiding principles that shape how a coach thinks, decides and behaves in practice...And obviously needs to be congruent with the way you live your life.

A master teacher makes hard things simple. The goal for Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea is to make things as clear as possible ⬇️⬇️
