Culture is the difference between a good year and a good program.
Winning once is about talent; winning consistently is about the standard you live by.
Culture is what turns success into a legacy.
Successful high school athletics change a community. Go to a state tournament and watch the community close down their town to come support. It’s more than just the student-athletes too. The band, cheerleaders, alum, parents, grandparents are all greatly impacted. It is SPECIAL!
GET YOUR PHYSICALS NOW!!! This is the first sign of being uncommitted to your team and a championship mentality.
Plenty of places accepting walk-ins as well, don’t make an appointment weeks away.
To be a great teammate you must be willing to…
“Be open to growing and learning. Be a sponge, ask good questions. Learn from what others say and do. Both positively and negatively. Don’t try to pretend to be at a place that they’re not,” Mike Tomlin
PLAYERS: "If you just want to be average then you do average work. If you want to be a little bit above average, you do a little more work. If you want A’s in basketball, you have to do stuff other people aren’t willing to do.“ (Geno Auriemma)

LEADERSHIP IS LONELY
"If you are going to be a leader, you’re not going to please everybody. You have to hold people accountable. Even if you have that moment of being uncomfortable." (Kobe Bryant)

"What are you telling your opponent when you're bending over and grabbing your knees? Stand tall, always, no matter how tired you are."

PLAYERS: Your coach shouldn't have to beg you to be unselfish, provide energy, have a good attitude, or give your best effort. Those are all things you can control. That is what a winning teammate brings to a team. Great teams have great teammates.
