Dan Hurley shares why his players accept hard coaching and it comes down to one thing.

"You invest every second that you can in them. On the court and off the court. You just pour everything you have into them. Your family is intertwined with your program."

"I think players sense that. They feel that."

Then he explained why his players accept being pushed:
"My players will accept the hard coaching from me and our staff because they know how much we love them."

"They know how much we're trying to prepare them, toughen them up, teach them, help them grow as men, develop new skills quickly - all those things that are gonna add value to their lives."

People know when you invest and you care.

"We're relentless for them. We're literally giving everything we got to them while they're on campus."

The formula: Invest and care first then balance that with pushing them forward.

Then he got honest:
"I wouldn't wanna play for me for 10 years. I wouldn't wanna play for this staff for 8, 10, 12, 15 years. We go hard for these guys while they're on campus and that's why you see the bond the way it is."

The window may be short, but the impact lasts forever.

Players don't accept hard coaching because you demand it. They accept it because they know you love them.

Indiana HC Curt Cignetti - Rebuilding Indiana

"Production over potential. There's something about that. The guy that can stay on the practice field, the guy that can stay on the game field, the guy can handle success, the guy that can handle failure, has consistency in performance, he's a good teammate, he buys in to the team vision & he can stay healthy."

"It's all about people. The people you hire and the people you recruit. You've got to hire and recruit the right kind of people. That have a foundation of habits, that understand right from wrong, that have passion, that love football, that want to be great, that want to learn and get better every single day. You got to have those kind of people in your organization & then create the environment where they can thrive."

If you’re in a difficult position and wondering what you should do next, the answer is in the work you’re avoiding. Of course, you already know this. That’s why you’re avoiding it. So this is simply encouragement: Good things happen when you put your head down and do the work.

[Benjamin Flack @CoachBenFlack]

So happy for Coach Day. Class coach who has proven himself time and again to the right kind of leader.

Coach Leach used to say “all sacks are on the quarterback.”

As a player, that used to piss me off — because we all know that's not true. Sometimes the protection breaks down, a back misses a chip, or a tackle gets beat.

But looking back, it was great coaching!
It was about ownership and improving the situation.

If you’re a quarterback and you view every sack as being on YOU, you’ll look for ways to improve it:
-Change the play call.
-Adjust the protection.
-Check the ball down.
-Scramble.
-Throw it away.

But if you shrug it off as “the O-line’s fault,” you give your power away.
You can only improve when THEY do — and that keeps you stagnant.

The same principle applies in other area’s for QB’s.

A receiver drops a ball?
-Take ownership. Ask yourself: Did I have the right pace? Was it a good location? Was it the right read? Did I spend time with him after practice working that route?

A missed signal?
-Take ownership. Did I communicate it clearly? Did I hold an extra signal meeting?

When you take this mindset — “it’s on me” — you stay focused on how you can grow, not on who you can blame.

Now, bring that into your own field.
What are the “sacks” in your business, career, or relationships that you can start taking ownership of today?

Because ownership always leads to improvement — and excuses always lead to stagnation.

The recipe for “success” is less of a mystery than we believe. For all of us, it’s built on the same 3 Core Skills:

1. Self-Awareness
2. Self-Discipline
3. Self-Confidence

You could also say it like this:

1. Know yourself.
2. Control yourself.
3. Believe in yourself.

So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

These verses really hit this morning…

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

[P.J. Fleck @Coach_Fleck]

Best of luck to all the @mfca_now teams starting their season today!! #RTB #HYPRR #SkiUMah
