I was heading to the Final Four...until I wasn't. 

What do you do when difficult things happen?

Championship Mindset: 🏆💪
1. Sweat the small stuff - details win games ⚙️🏀.
2. Embrace pressure - it's a privilege 👑.
3. Leadership is not a title, it's action and example 🗣️🚶.
4. Never settle for good enough 🚫✨.
5. Legacy isn't what you win, it's what you leave behind 🎖️👣

[Matt Hackenberg @CoachHackGO]

Most teams that overachieve their talent level DO NOT have players:

▪️Making faces when they get subbed out
▪️Arguing with the officials
▪️Laying on the ground after they turn it over
▪️Moping on the bench

They have players that are focused on contributing to WINNING

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Kirby Smart said, "When you worry about results, like so many people in our society do, it makes it tough to ever be happy. We try to focus on what exactly it is that we want to achieve."

Your process drives outcomes.

Focus on what you can control: Effort and Attitude.

Either you’re invested and a great teammate, or your not"

[Coach the Coaches @WinningCoaches]

Even if your role is to bring energy and enthusiasm from the bench, you can make a difference.

Energy is contagious, make sure yours is worth catching.

Your number one contribution is the energy that you bring to what we’re doing.”

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

“If you want to be successful, you need to be bad. Then you need to be good and when you are good, you need to fail. When you fail, you’re going to figure it out. There is a process. There are steps you need to fill. There are no shortcuts, it’s a journey,” Nikola Jokic

You won't find this stat in the NBA box score, it's the silent statistic and is how body language wins championships!

If you want to earn the right to believe that you win close games, you do that during practice, do that during film studies, do that during workouts. It is in the Unseen Hours, in both sports and business!

"I was depressed."

Billy Donovan after he won his second straight national championship with Florida

If your goal is the trophy and not the journey, you will be disappointed in the result
