As a coach, don’t just teach skills. Teach virtues. Don’t just develop better athletes. Develop better people!

"Hard work is not punishment; it's the price of admission for the opportunity to reach a standard of sustained excellence." (Jay Bilas)

Leaders, your job is create an environment that activates those you lead to live into their potential. You do that by: Believing in them Connecting with them Encouraging them Being honest with them Challenging them It won’t happen accidentally. Lead with purpose.

Congrats Daniel & AnnMarie! Daniel Duran of the Pirate football team and AnnMarie Patterson of the women’s water polo team have been named Outstanding Sophomore Athletes of the Year by the Ventura College Athletic Department.

Why You Should Do Hard Things: 1. Hard things test your limits. 2. Hard things build resilience. 3. Hard things teach you discipline. The path of least resistance leads nowhere. The road that challenges you is the one that changes you.

Tim Tebow said, "We can control a few things: our attitude, our effort, our focus, and how we go about treating our teammates." You can't always control external events, but you control how you respond. Respond don't react. ~ via @CoachAJKings

No matter how successful you become, there’s always room for improvement. Never be satisfied with yourself. Always keep working on your craft!

Dawn Staley said, "Know that on the other side of an uncomfortable situation is growth." Growth doesn’t live in your comfort zone. • It lives in discomfort. • It lives in discipline. • It lives in daily work. It comes from stretching yourself.

Leadership QOTD:

John Wooden said, "Don't whine. Don't complain. Don't make excuses." "Get out there and whatever you're doing do it to the best of your ability." You can't control everything - But you can control how you show up. Attitude. Effort. Ownership. That's leadership.

Kobe Bryant said, "The best way to prove your value is to work." "You always want to outwork your potential." You’re entitled to nothing. You have to earn it. Discipline. Effort. Consistency. That’s the path. Here are 5 non-negotiable habits of hard workers👇

Dan Campbell said, "The most important thing that a head coach does is hire his staff." "Without your staff, you are nothing." No one wins alone. Leadership isn’t about doing it all - it’s about empowering others. The right people = the right culture.

Sometimes you need to play as if you have nothing to lose. Play loose, be aggressive, take risks, and go all out! This mindset can help you play your best and defeat superior opponents.
