A reminder of what matters most….Get over yourself and Serve others. #ForgottenTruth

[Justin Turpin @JustinmTurpin]

Joe Mazzulla on dealing with praise:

“Praise is just as dangerous as criticism. You
just have to remind yourself that neither one lasts too long. And, really, at the end of the day, they're going to forget about you eventually. This is all just a short-term thing that’s going to last a few years, and then 10-15, years from now, nobody is going to talk about you. So it really doesn’t matter.”

“The people I respect most as teammates are people that can play but don’t need to play. There’s not an emotional tie or something where they wrap their identity around only their individual achievement. It’s more about what they can give for the team,”

Winners are givers.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"There's a big difference in being a great player and being a great winner.
The best players are both.
When you are a great winner, you are committed to the invisible.
Your commitment level to the things that drive team success that get no recognition is at the highest level."

#ProcessOverResults

[Cope @JakeCopestick]

Drexel wasn’t phased by an 0-3 start in conference play. They stuck to their process - stack days, practices, games, and ultimately wins.

They’re playing as well as anybody on the defensive end since the turn of the new year, and aren’t a finished product yet.

As this group has gotten game reps under their belt, they’ve improved dramatically and have the CAA’s best defense.

And now, the team picked 10th out of 13 teams in the CAA preseason poll has exceeded expectations up to this point, with March fast approaching.

[What Drives Winning @WDWconvo]

Measuring understanding is a critical aspect of teaching. Just because something is said doesn’t mean it’s heard, understood, or executable.

Here’s a creative way a leader taught one of his leaders:

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

Everyone wants more minutes.
Everyone wants more opportunities.
But the real question is — are you earning them?
Prove that you deserve more than just a spot — prove that you deserve a role.

@CoachFahey973 @CamDylong I like that Greg!

[Will Chavis @Coach_Chavis]

Type time you on….

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

You don’t need a starting spot to work like a starter.
You don’t need a guarantee to give max effort.

Attitude and effort—those are always in your control.

Bring it every day. Earn everything.
That’s how champions are built.

[Coaching Advice @CoachingAdvice]

Great coaches listen and adapt. They do not necessarily change and they never lose their drive to coach up a player. You have to be honest to be a coach, but listening gives you timing, and that is critical.
