Jon Scheyer isn’t talking about Cooper Flagg’s talent.

He’s talking about his energy. ⚡️

After more than 30 years of coaching and leading teams, I’ve become convinced that championship teams consistently bring three kinds of energy.

1. Positive Energy

Championship teams have people who make everyone around them better.

They believe. They encourage. They respond to adversity with confidence instead of panic.

Positive energy is contagious. So is negative energy.

Every person on your team is multiplying one or the other.

2. Competitive Energy

Championship teams compete long before the game begins.

They compete in practice. They compete in the weight room. They compete in film. They compete in the little things because they know the little things become the big things.

Competition isn’t something they turn on. It’s who they are.

3. Team-First Energy

Championship teams are full of people who care more about we than me.

They embrace their role. They make the extra pass. They celebrate a teammate’s success. They sacrifice individual recognition when it helps the team win.

Talent gets teams noticed, but team-first energy keeps them together.

Here’s what I’ve learned.

Positive energy creates belief.
Competitive energy raises the standard.
Team-first energy builds trust.

When a team consistently brings all three, you don’t just have a talented team.

You have a championship team.🏆

Victory isn't just about wanting it; it's about pursuing it relentlessly.
Every team practices, but only a few practice with purpose and passion.
That's how you transform from a team that wants to win to a team that refuses to lose.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

John Wooden said, "Champions never complain, they are too busy getting better."

The only thing complaining changes is your attitude and for the negative.

Focus on what you can control.

Complaining only brings stress and negativity.

Complaining is not a solution, it's only a distraction from action, gratitude, and growth.

Anyone can complain, great leaders rise above complaining to find a way.

6 Ways to Combat Complaining👇

1. What is within my control in this situation?
By focusing on what you can control, you take ownership and responsibility to make meaningful changes. It shifts your attention from external factors, over which you have no influence, to your own actions and decisions. You start to focus on where you can make a real difference.

2. What can I do to make things better?
This question encourages proactivity. By asking yourself what positive steps you can take, you move away from a passive stance of complaining to an active role in improving the situation.

3. Instead of complaining, I choose to focus on finding a solution.
This mindset is about being constructive, not destructive. You choose to focus your mindset on productive thoughts. Complaining often leads nowhere, but searching for solutions can lead to actual improvements and positive outcomes.

4. I accept the circumstances, but won't let them consume me.
Acceptance is not about resignation, it's about acknowledging reality and your environment. Once you accept what you cannot change, it frees up mental energy to focus on what you can influence. This mindset helps you focus on what matters and reduces your stress and frustration.

5. I am going to take action; complaining won't change anything.
This is about recognizing the futility of complaining. Taking action, even in small ways, leads to a sense of accomplishment and ownership. It can actually bring about change, unlike complaining. This mindset helps you focus on action instead of stagnation.

6. I choose to be grateful for what I have because in another life, I might not be that lucky.
Living with gratitude means choosing to focus on what you appreciate. Gratitude shifts your focus from what's wrong to what's right in your life. Recognizing and appreciating your blessings, no matter how small, can significantly improve your overall sense of well-being and happiness.

"To be great at anything, you have to embrace hard things.
It's never pretty.
It's never easy.
It's harder than people can comprehend.
But, at some point, when you're done complaining about it and you embrace it, everything is easy after that.
At some point, you fall in love with the hard." @DilfersDimes

Every day is a good day.

Create an environment where fear is taken out of the equation & players are given room to fail, room to play. Eliminate the fear of failure in your program. Players can’t learn if they’re fearful. They can’t perform if they’re fearful. No one has ever been motivated through fear!

“Failure is easy. Success is way harder than managing failure. People believe when you do good, you have earned the right to do less. With success, you earn the right to do more."
Success is not just about reaching a goal. It's about a commitment to continuous improvement.

If you want your team to serve, serve them.
If you want your people to care, care about them.
If you want your team to love their work, love them.
If you want your employees to be their best, give them your best.
