@raybrewer21 It is absolutely pathetic that the NIAA and other officials felt it fair to ruin the state tournament. Clear cut, the north are cowards and didn’t want to accept the challenge. The bigger question is why were they allowed to get away with this?

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

Don't complicate winning.

Winning isn't about complexity; it's about doing the basics better than anyone else.

Focus, train hard, and stay disciplined.

Success isn't complicated, it's just hard work.

🏆 Culture WINS.

What is Culture?

Culture is...

1. What do you Allow?
2. What do you Emphasize?
3. Do you do this Every Day?

COACHES: Apply these three questions to the 8 Elements of a Championship Culture below:

1: MINDSET & ATTITUDE - Winning Cultures have Positive Attitudes and Growth Mindsets. Do I teach through a growth mindset with my players? Do I model a growth mindset? Do I emphasize the power of a positive attitude? Do I allow negative attitudes/actions in our team?

2: TIMELINESS - Being on time is about respect. Do I allow players to be late? Do I follow through? What are the consequences of not being on time? Do I model timeliness myself? Is this a point of emphasis with me each day?

3: COMMUNICATION - Winning cultures communicate well. They are Clear, Concise, and Positive. How does your team talk to one another? Do they show respect to everyone? Are the interactions positive Do you model positive communication?

4: EFFORT & WORK ETHIC - Winning Cultures are Committed and Work Hard. What are your expectations for work ethic? How do you encourage and emphasize a culture of commitment? Are you fully committed as a coach? Do you model commitment?

5: INCLUSIVITY & TEAMWORK - In Winning Cultures, ALL team members feel included. There is a true sense of TEAM. Do you preach and emphasize the importance of TEAM? Do you meet with Team Leaders about including everyone? Do you show respect and honor to all team members?

6: SPORTSMANSHIP - One good ACT of sportsmanship is way more powerful than 10 people talking about it. Do you model good sportsmanship as a coach? Do you allow poor sportsmanlike behaviors from your players? Do you reward positive sportsmanship? Are you consistent?

7: PLAYER LEADERSHIP - Player Led Teams WIN. What do you do to develop your team leaders? Do you have a plan, or do you wait and wish for team leaders? Do you emphasize Collective Leadership on your team? Do you acknowledge the different types of leaders on your team?

8: ACCOUNTABILITY - All Championship Cultures have Accountability. Do you consistently hold your players accountable? Do you have an "everyday" mindset with culture? Do you inadvertently encourage entitlement? Do you model leadership and accountability as the team leader?
