LMAO you gotta be kidding me with the penalties in this game.

ZERO against the 49ers.

A ton against the Eagles in crucial spots.

Is this Roger Goodell getting his final revenge for the Tush Push stuff?

The Art of Coaching:

1. Listen more, talk less - understanding your players is key to unlocking their potential.
2. Adaptability is key - every player is different, tailor your coaching style to fit their needs.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Pat Summitt said, “Winning is fun... Sure. But winning is not the point. Wanting to win is the point. Not giving up is the point. Never letting up is the point. Never being satisfied with what you've done is the point."

Character is what you do.

It means choosing integrity, responsibility, and self-discipline even when it's hard.

You demonstrate it through your actions, decisions, and how you treat people.

You always know the people of character on a team because they bring so much.

5 Things That People With High Character Bring to a Team:
1. They Bring Consistency and Reliability - You know exactly what you can expect from them on a day-to-day basis. They consistently show up and diligently do their work. This trait is crucial as it builds trust within the team, ensuring that everyone can depend on each other. The benefit is a more cohesive and efficient team where members can rely on one another.

2. They Bring a Team-Focus - They prioritize the team, showing genuine care and support for others. This focus is important because it fosters a collaborative environment where everyone feels valued. The benefit is a stronger, more united team that can achieve greater results together.

3. They Bring Positive Energy and Attitude - They maintain a positive attitude, bringing energy and enthusiasm to the team. This trait is important because it influences the overall team spirit and can inspire others. The benefit is a more dynamic and resilient team, capable of overcoming challenges.

4. They Bring High Standards - They go above and beyond and exceed what's expected of them. This attitude is significant as it drives continuous improvement and sets a high standard for the team. The benefit is enhanced team performance and a culture of excellence.

5. They Bring an Attitude of Gratitude - They exhibit an attitude of gratitude, appreciating their teammates and opportunities. This mindset is crucial as it fosters a culture of appreciation and respect within the team. The benefit is a more harmonious and collaborative work environment, where members feel valued and respected.

What does ACCOUNTABILITY look like on teams?

- Bad teams are not held accountable.
- Good are held accountable by the coach.
- Championship teams are held accountable by each other.

Player Led Teams WIN.
