KIRBY SMART ON BEING GREAT

"There's one way. The right way. The hard way. There are no shortcuts.

When the alarm goes off...if you wanna be a really good player, you're gonna get up & go to class.

You've gotta do something somebody else isn't willing to do."

~ @TerryCollege

Team Culture is Fragile.

It takes daily attention.

Here are 10 things that can DESTROY a Team Culture

Drip by Drip.

1: Showing up Late

Being late tells your team that ME > WE. This is a dangerous place to go.  Respect your teammate's time. Respect your coach's time. Be on time.

2: Skipping Reps

Every rep creates a habit. Skipping reps is how you get worse as a player. This is how you get worse as a team. This is a culture killer.

3: Not Holding others Accountable

All teams need leaders. If leaders don’t hold others accountable. The team culture loses. The team loses.

4: Bad Body Language

Body Language screams. Want to destroy a culture. Bring negative energy with bad body language.

5: Taking Plays Off

Can I Trust you as my teammate?  Not if you take plays off. If you play when you want to play. You will kill your culture.

6: Complaining about your Role

Not happy about your role? Want to hurt the team? Complain about your role. This will eat away at your culture and hurt your team.

7: Bad Mouthing Your Teammates

Easy way to hurt your team and kill your culture. Talk bad about your teammates. It will eat at your culture every time.

8: Sloppy Practices

Sloppy practices = sloppy games. They create bad habits. They eat away at culture. Mediocrity follows.

9: Not Focused on Details

Details win games. Not focusing on details loses games. Skip details and impact your culture.

10: No Eye Contact

This tells the coach you don’t care. It tells your teammates you don’t care. It tells the team it is all about you. Note: there are some cultures where this is accepted. Know your players.

If you’re a 10-yr MLB vet somehow playing high school baseball, this doesn’t apply to you.

For everyone else, strike 3 will at times be called even if it is off the plate. Your idea of the strikezone is irrelevant.

Grow up & deal with it without making a fool of yourself.

[The Coaches' Journal @TheCoachJournal]

Dear Players,

Every time you skip a workout.
Every time you take a shortcut.
Every time you make an excuse.
Every time you blame a teammate.
Every time you bring a bad attitude.
Every time you waste an opportunity.
You make it easier to beat you.

Sincerely,
Your Competition

"They have not been consistently challenged at this level, and they're not used to it.
How you respond to that challenge is up to you.
Life is about choices.
You can either sulk and this is really hard or you can chase greatness.
I don't want you to be okay and average."

"The cold hard truth is that not everyone's gonna play every minute of every game.
Each role is important to the success of the team.
Your role is different from your value.
Great teams and players understand that roles are constantly changing for the betterment of the team."

Navy SEALs have a saying.

You may find it helpful.

When something sucks, they look at each other and say:

"FULL BENEFIT"

It’s an instant mindset shift.

• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?

FULL BENEFIT.

***

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity

The message is simple.

Every adversity is an opportunity.

• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better

These moments forge us if we let them.

The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.

Work through the process.

Learn the lessons.

Reap the full benefit.

"Consistency...getting people to be consistent in what they do. Everybody can have a good game on Sunday. But the only reason you had that good game, you don't realize, was Monday through Saturday."

[The Coaches' Journal @TheCoachJournal]

Dear Players,

I coach you because I care about you. I challenge you because I believe in you. I cheer you on because I know you can. I hold you accountable because I know life will. I tell you the truth because I know most will not.

Sincerely,
My Why

@mattmargss This could be a possibility.

"I want to see you practice. Because, how you practice is who you are." @DeionSanders
Average players search for 'the secret' to success.
Great players know 'the secret' to success is consistent daily habits and routines.
'Embrace the boredom of consistency' every practice.

"Effort and attitude. It's something that every single one of us chooses. It doesn't take ability. Everybody works hard, but the results are not the same, because it's about the attitude with which you do it with." @CoachFick
