Tony Dungy says that when he coached the Buccaneers and Colts his scouts gave prospects just two letter grades: one for athleticism and one for character. “When I coached at Tampa and Indianapolis, I had our scouts give a letter grade for athleticism, but also a letter grade for character.” “We were looking for those A characters. The teammate that everybody wanted to be around. The teammate that elevated everyone else. If we got enough of those guys, I knew we were going to find talent.” "Teammates that want to be together... That togetherness, that unity, that teamwork. Nobody is the star. Everybody is together." “Look at Seattle, all the talk about is the PEOPLE they've brought in... DeMarcus Lawrence is a great player, but he’s a leader and a great person. Cooper Kupp is a fantastic receiver, but he’s galvanized the receiver room.” “That, to me, is what wins championships.”

I have nothing to add to this

How is Ron Washington, time and time again, able to help his infielders make significant strides on defense? A few weeks ago, I worked with Wash to find out. And yeah, it was incredibly hard. Story: mercurynews.com/2026/05/22/ron… Video: youtube.com/watch?v=Ri3oet…

Mike Leach shares a must-listen postgame message on resilience, adversity, and failure. "Nothing is really, really, really fun unless it's hard. Nothing is really fun unless it's hard." "We've got to embrace that things are gonna be hard. We've got to embrace to be excited when things are hard." Successful people don't fear obstacles - they embrace them. "You gotta embrace to be excited about it being hard and playing extremely hard." "Even if you get way up on somebody, you want to be as hard as you possibly can because you're pushing yourself. And all of a sudden you're making great plays, you're doing things that you've never done before." Growth requires discomfort. You have to be willing to look bad before you get better. Then he ended with one line: "Embrace the fact that it's hard. Never hope that it's easy." If you only chase what's easy, you'll never become great. Embrace the hard because that is where growth, success, and character are built. (🎥 Washington State)

🚨OPPORTUNITY🚨 UNSIGNED SENIOR SHOWCASE FEB 15th 1PM - 3PM ramsfootballcamps.com

In 2021, I was fired from my alma mater. That was a very tough situation to deal with. I’ve been knocked down many times in my career as a player and as a coach. This one hit differently. I chose to pick myself up and keep working. Bet on myself as a head coach in 2023 and continued to develop myself as a head coach and play caller. Surrounded myself with great coaches and people. Continued to recruit and develop people to be the best versions of themselves. We’re 3 months into 2026 and we continue to pour into our players and our program! Champions think differently and we are coming for it all! Great things are ahead! When you get knocked down pick yourself up and look in the mirror and control the controllable in your life!! #4thand1Mindset #GRIT 🙌🧩🏆🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Coach Leach used to say “all sacks are on the quarterback.” As a player, that used to piss me off — because we all know that's not true. Sometimes the protection breaks down, a back misses a chip, or a tackle gets beat. But looking back, it was great coaching! It was about ownership and improving the situation. If you’re a quarterback and you view every sack as being on YOU, you’ll look for ways to improve it: -Change the play call. -Adjust the protection. -Check the ball down. -Scramble. -Throw it away. But if you shrug it off as “the O-line’s fault,” you give your power away. You can only improve when THEY do — and that keeps you stagnant. The same principle applies in other area’s for QB’s. A receiver drops a ball? -Take ownership. Ask yourself: Did I have the right pace? Was it a good location? Was it the right read? Did I spend time with him after practice working that route? A missed signal? -Take ownership. Did I communicate it clearly? Did I hold an extra signal meeting? When you take this mindset — “it’s on me” — you stay focused on how you can grow, not on who you can blame. Now, bring that into your own field. What are the “sacks” in your business, career, or relationships that you can start taking ownership of today? Because ownership always leads to improvement — and excuses always lead to stagnation. coachlukefalk.com/themindstrengt… #MindStrength #Leadership

"Good players want to be coached. And there are a lot of coaches now that are afraid to coach guys. The best players...want somebody to help them get better-somebody to develop them-somebody to coach them." Average players only seek praise. Great players seek to be pushed.

UCLA Legend John Wooden on being a great teammate: "A player who makes a team great is better than a great player." Great teammates are selfless. • They prioritize the team. • They look to make the team better. • They choose to embrace their roles.
