[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

Don’t confuse your role with your value.
Championship players don’t count minutes; they make their minutes count.
A good teammate will never be defined by their role.
A good teammate will be defined by their willingness to excel in that role.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Dick Vermeil shares the greatest lesson he learned on leadership from John Wooden.

"Don't worry about those players you don't have. Just make sure you do a great job of making those who you have the best they could possibly be.'"

Simple advice, but not always easy.

Be where your feet are. Don't focus on what you're missing - pour into who's already in the room.

Stop chasing what you don't have.
Develop what you do have.

I had an amazing time at the Alabama Football Camp.!! @IAMKLEMM @CoachAllen62 @Thescottlashley @RogerBurtonwphs

Dusty May said, "A lot of failure comes with simply being afraid of the results. We were never afraid of the results."

Let go of the outcomes and focus on what you can control.
• Trust in yourself.
• Trust in your preparation.
• Trust in show up and doing the work

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Everyone wants the credit.
Few want the mirror.

“We need to look at ourselves when we have failure and point to other people when we have success.”

- Marcus Freeman

That’s real leadership.👇

[Cody Allen @CoachAllen62]

@CoachTatum90 1. 1st step (right & left) hands loaded, ready to strike. 3 reps each way.
2. 2 step with punch. Drive out on the 3rd rep.
3. Offset the board (right & left) 2 step with punch. Drive out on 3rd rep.
4. Double teams

[Cody Allen @CoachAllen62]

@CoachShiffman A4. Give me 5 average dudes with elite communication that are dependable, fast off the ball, and violent. “No chemistry” could imply can’t/won’t communicate and could also imply 5 “individuals.” Offensive line has to be 1 unit, to have long term success. #hogfbchat

[Cody Allen @CoachAllen62]

@CoachShiffman A2. Board drills and driving an old school 5 man sled! #hogfbchat

[Cody Allen @CoachAllen62]

@CoachShiffman A2. Need a simple set of rules. The rules dictate where the double teams come from and who has to solo. You can’t rep the rules enough! #hogfbchat

[Cody Allen @CoachAllen62]

@CoachDingus A3. Footwork. Without good footwork/fast feet you’ll never be in position to use your hands correctly #hogfbchat

[Cody Allen @CoachAllen62]

@CoachDingus A1. Ball get off. If we are slow off the ball, none of the other stuff matters. Perfect technique, but slow off the ball still gets beat. Can’t reset the LOS #hogfbchat

I’m in love with this sentence:

“Discipline feels boring until you witness what it creates.”

[Cody Allen @CoachAllen62]

@JonGordon11 1. The no complaining rule
2. The hard hat

📚 Best Nuggets From Coaching Books

This one comes from Win Forever by Pete Carroll.

Before I read it, I thought of “culture” as slogans and standards. But Carroll’s book showed me it’s something much deeper — a system.

Carroll didn’t just talk about culture — he installed it. Every meeting, every drill, every phrase connected back to his philosophy: Always Compete.

That changed how I approached culture myself. You wouldn’t run a defense without an install plan, and you can’t build culture without one either.

Carroll’s culture was summarized in his “Win Forever” pyramid — a model for maximizing potential — starting from environment and belief system all the way up to performance goals. It’s not abstract motivation. It’s architecture.

That idea reshaped how I thought about building culture.

Even Steve Kerr has said Carroll’s framework helped him shape the Warriors’ culture.

I’ve attached my own Culture Working Model below.
Curious — how do you build and structure culture in your program?

Nick Saban warned us.

Greatness isn't given or taken.

It's earned or lost by your mindset, actions, and systems.
