This level of care for the student athletes and the university is what every school in the country is looking for in a Head Coach.
Sean McVay says the real separator in leadership is how you handle the storms
“I think the separator for the coaches and the leaders that I admire the most, because when things are good, it’s really like, how do we stay humble in the midst of that? How do we continue to be able to work and trust the things that we’re doing, but stay humble in the midst of that journey?”
“But when you have adversity, when there’s storms, I think it’s so important that whether it’s you guys or players, they can look and they can be like, ‘I believe we can get out of this. I believe this is temporary because I believe that people that are in leadership positions have a vision, have a plan, that there’s an authenticity, there’s a capacity, there’s character and there’s a connection that are behind those things, and this too shall pass.’”
“But when you’re in those storms, if you’re looking around and you don’t have anybody where it’s like, ‘Man, woe is me. We’re never going to get out of it,’ that’s why I respect and admire when I watch leaders, whether that’s players, coaches, or just leaders in any other space, I want to see how you’re handling the tough times.”
“Because that’s when I’ve been at my worst, and I don’t want to be that again. And that’s when you’re really, the separator is how you handle the storms. I really believe that.”
You never know why someone has been placed in your path today.
Show up with kindness, offer grace, and look for opportunities to lift others up.
Be the light someone needs today. Be a Coffee Bean.
Update on my Babydoll. Man I hope this encourages someone in the battle today. Thank you isn’t enough to all of you that have been praying for us. No greater gift you can give someone.
Her oncologist called me Friday during our HS football game. He left a voicemail that said this, Um, the results came back stunning. Like, no tumor. I mean, it's, it's, we don't completely understand it. But give me a call and I'll explain what we think maybe going on and tell you how we resume.
He doesn’t understand, but we do… GOD and PRAYER!!!!
Thank you for faithfully praying!
WHAT A GOD!!❤️🙌🏻

@raknation Very well said.
My favorite phrase from him that I often use with my players is : “Prepare for your opportunity, or your opportunity will embarrass you.”
