Dan Campbell said, "It's our core foundation, men. Grit. And what does it mean? Really, in a nutshell, I think it means this: we're going to go a little bit longer, we'll push a little harder, and we'll think a little deeper and a little sharper. GRIT. It isn’t about talent or luck. Grit is about heart, resilience, and the decision to keep moving forward, no matter what. Grit chooses to go a little bit longer when the odds are against you. Grit is about honing your focus, staying sharp, and never backing down.

Are the results I am expecting aligned with the habits I am following each day?

Greatness isn’t born in a moment… it’s born from doing the simple, the mundane, the basics over time… it takes a commitment. #dailydoseofcat

Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your identity. This is why habits are crucial. They cast repeated votes for being that type of person.

Tom Landry said, "A coach is someone who tells you what you don't want to hear, who has you see what you don't want to see, so you can be who you have always known you could be." The best coaches are excellent leaders. They connect and influence. It's not what they say, but their actions, behaviors, and habits that set the standard. The consistency in their habits is what makes the best coaches, the best leaders. That consistency permeates through the culture and everyone on the team. 7 Coaching Habits of The Best Leaders: 1. Communicate Expectations = Alignment People perform when they know what to expect and where they are headed. When you align your team's understanding with your vision, you create purpose. This not only sets a clear path forward, but sets expectations and brings people together ensuring everyone's on the same page. 2. Build Relationships = Trust Building relationships isn't just about camaraderie, it's the foundation for trust. Great leaders understand that trust is the currency of collaboration and growth. If you don't trust someone, you won't listen and believe you have their best interest at heart. By investing in genuine connections, you lay the groundwork for a committed team. 3. Measure Results = Accountability When leaders hold themselves and their teams accountable for outcomes, they pave the way for growth and continuous improvement. It is not just saying the words, but consistently making accountability a habit. This means setting a target, measuring to the target, and consistently reflecting on progress. Focus on the process and the inputs that drive the results. 4. Give Responsibility = Ownership The best leaders give responsibility and ownership to others. When people feel ownership, they take ideas and run with them because they know their voice is heard. Leaders who empower their team members to take ownership of their roles inspire creativity and dedication. Ownership turns ordinary tasks into personal missions, and that's why it's important. 5. Celebrate People and Wins = Connection Celebrating wins shows people you care and builds gratitude for others and the team. It reminds everyone of progress, boosts morale, and strengthens the bonds within your team. This habit nurtures a culture of appreciation and togetherness. Spend time each week celebrating the small wins. 6. Get Feedback = Engagement It's not about hearing words, it's about having people open up. Leaders who actively seek and listen to feedback demonstrate their commitment to growth and improvement. They create a structure that allows people to be heard. It shows that every voice matters, leading to higher engagement, innovation, and commitment. 7. Be Yourself = Authenticity People don't buy what you say, they buy WHO YOU ARE. The best leaders embrace their unique qualities and values, setting an inspiring example for their others. They don't fake their enthusiasm or energy, they are themselves. Authenticity breeds trust and creates an environment where everyone can be their best self. "A good coach can change a game.

Effort is a form of respect. Not just for yourself or the coaches you play for, but for the game you play & for all those players who have come before you. Respect the game. Don’t slack. Don’t be indifferent. The effort you give is in direct proportion to the success you make!

Great question!!

You don’t just show up and expect to be great. That’s entitlement. You do the work that greatness requires. Develop the habits, mindset, skills, culture needed to be ready in the moment. Show up on purpose. Do the work. 🪵🪓

We can't control what others expect of us. We can decide whose expectations to internalize. High expectations are targets to reach. When credible people believe in you, prove them right. Low expectations are barriers to break. When ignorant people doubt you, prove them wrong.

Humility isn't a sign of low self-esteem. It's a mark of high self-awareness. The goal isn't to deny your strengths. It's to see your strengths & shortcomings accurately. The first rule of improvement: recognize room for improvement. Narcissism feeds ego. Humility fuels growth.

Discipline is a choice before it’s a habit. Greatness is a choice before it’s a habit. Commitment is a choice before it’s a habit. Resilience is a choice before it’s a habit. Progress is made one choice at a time. Do the work.

Life is short. And if life is short, then moving quickly matters. Launch the product. Write the book. Ask the question. Take the chance. Be thoughtful, but get moving.
