Cori Close (@CoachCoriClose) shares a must-listen message on what it takes to be special.
"Do you want special? Then you better get used to hard."
"Tell me one person in this life, in any area of life, that did something special that didn't embrace hard. That didn't embrace the adversity."
Success is earned in the struggle.
"It's the people who embrace hard. Perseverance. All of those things that need to happen."
Then she got honest about her own leadership:
"Get ready to push that. Get ready to take that on for your players first so that they can see the role modeling of someone who faces hard, who embraces hard."
Leaders go first.
You can't ask your team to embrace hard if you're not willing to do it yourself.
You have to be willing to embrace adversity.
Adversity isn't a roadblock - it's the path.
