Bill Self said, "You should compete hard all the time." "Courage is not knowing where the finish line is and going as hard as you can." It means embracing the unknown and still giving your best effort. Winning starts always with hard work.

FACTS “Rebounding is 100% effort... You’re either too cool for it, too soft, or you're too lazy. God forbid you’re all three." - Mick Cronin

“Now we’re just supposed to hug and kiss everybody. You know what? Do your job right. Go to class and you won’t hear about not going to class. Kids have so many distractions they don’t stay focused on the task at hand. Accountability is going to be big until I leave,” Tom Izzo

Benny Gealer on playing for Stanford: "We are a family, we are a culture. You don't see that in college basketball anymore."

Benny is the first player NATIONALLY in at least 20 years to put up these numbers against a major conference opponent 🌲

Tom Brady: “You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem. They push you to deal with failure.”

Storybook Senior Day for Benny: 30 points (career-high) 7 threes (career-high) 6 steals (career-high) No. 5️⃣ made his mark on Maples.

Tom Brady shares what it really means to be a captain and why you can't fake leadership. "There's a really high standard you're held to when you have the C on your chest." "In the off season, there's no cameras watching. It's you and them. You can't fake it." "What I say, I do. I expect the same from you." Leadership isn't a title - it's your behavior. It's action-based. "I lead by example. I lead verbally. I lead through my toughness. I lead through my will to win. I lead by caring. I lead by believing in you. By encouraging you." "You gotta lead in all those different ways." And then he shared the 3 questions every leader needs to ask: "Do I care about my teammates? Do I care about what we're trying to accomplish? And then do I care about myself?" "That is always number 3 in a team sport." Team first. Mission second. Then self. That's leadership. And that's the standard. (🎥@ufc | @dc_mma)

Winning doesn’t show up by accident. It shows up after habits do. Early mornings. Late nights. Great attitude. Relentless effort. Teammates over self. You don’t win on game day. You collect on game day.
