Leadership won’t magically appear on your team. It must be intentionally built, practiced, and reinforced. When your players chase leadership instead of individual recognition, the results speak for themselves—and that’s how you build a truly great team.

FAILURE IS PART OF THE PROCESS "Is anyone going to learn how to fail? It's okay to fail... You don't learn as much from winning as you do from losing." (Tom Izzo) ~ via @TheWinningDiff1

"Yesterday’s effort and attitude isn’t sufficient to exceed today’s standards. We have to recommit to the process of preparation everyday in order to improve. Champions do more.”

CHAMPIONSHIP CULTURES HAVE:

“Your role doesn’t matter. Your commitment does.” Champions don’t care what the role is; they care how well they perform it. Your role on the team isn’t about recognition. It’s about responsibility.

“Success is momentary, it’s not continuous. It’s right then, this is what you did, that’s over and done with. You better be where your feet are and move onto the next one,” Nick Saban Winners use successful moments as building blocks en route to building competitive greatness.

Champions don’t make excuses—they make adjustments. Excuses are just reasons to stay average. Winners don’t look for ways out—they look for ways through. If you want to be the best, eliminate excuses and embrace accountability.

FCA Football Coaches Game Day Prayer for those coaching on this great Fall Friday.

Romans Chapter 12 is a like a football playbook. It tells us what we need to do to win in the game of life. First Paul said we have to disengage from the world and let God’s Spirit direct us. Now in vs 3 he says: Don’t think too much of ourselves. In other words: BE HUMBLE. Then Paul drives home another point about the Christian life. He says God gives us all certain gifts. This is important and we all need to understand this. No matter what our lives look like we have been blessed with some gifts. But they’re not for us to enjoy or profit from. God gives us these gifts and abilities to help other people. Specifically to serve Him and His church. Paul says we can’t be selfish and not use these gifts. And we can’t just use them for ourselves. If we really want to honor God we have to use our gifts to serve and help other people. We have to do what Jesus did and love our neighbors.

Peyton Manning said, “The attitude with which we approach the situation can determine our success or failure.” Your attitude is a choice on how you want want to respond. You can't always control external events, but you can control your attitude.

Transformational coaching….

You are not a team just because you work together. You are a team because you trust each other, respect each other, and care for each other.

Gotta give 💯 It may be difficult to always give 100% knowing you will be criticized, ridiculed and critiqued. But just know if you choose to quit, you are guaranteed no return on investment. Winners realize that growth is the goal and every day is a new opportunity to improve.

“Champions behave like champions before the are champions; they have a winning standard of performance before they are winners.” - Bill Walsh

"It's easier to blame than it is to get better. It's easier to complain than it is to compete. It's easier to give up than it is to give it your all. Easier doesn't equal better." @CoachKurtHines

“You’re not going to win every game, perfection is not the goal. When you’re a winner and develop into a winner, and you do the right things that winners do, you’ll eventually win. Chances on top of chances. That’s all you can give young people throughout their life is a chance,” @Coach_Fleck

Nick Saban said, "I think you get mental toughness because things are hard. You gotta embrace hard." "Hard times make tough people." Toughness requires a willingness to go beyond your current limits. It means mental flexibility. 🎥@TMitrosilis
