@ADRCoachDev Thanks for sharing, Andrew! ^HH

We love this story from Robbie Deans about focusing on success! 🏆 This was back in his playing days, “you just chase that opportunity to succeed. Chase the solution. Shut everything else out. Chase the solution.” Read the article for all the feels 🤗 https://t.co/VwTKQC0iVV

Super Rugby teams have lots of similarities. Everyone's roughly the same size, speed & strength. Those things don’t make the difference. Sam Whitelock reckons the majority of the game is now in the mental space. When Sam needs a reset he wiggles his toes. What do you do?

🖐🏽 Five leadership lessons from Sir Wayne Smith.

1. CARE COMES FIRST ♥️

2. YOUR VALUES CAN'T BE A POSTER ON THE WALL 🍖

3. WISE WORRY IS YOUR FRIEND 😟

4. PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS 💪🏽

5. AIM FOR SATISFACTION 😆

As leaders, we often think our job is to, well, lead. But Sam Whitelock sees it differently. For him, the absolute first job is to play well. Watch to hear it in his words — and to find out what the second job of a leader is…

Sir Wayne Smith; “if you want to be part of a great team, anyone can be a cog.. as long as you're prepared to give everything you've got.” This creates a champion team. Try it yourself:
🤔 Am I helping my teammates flourish?
🤔 Am I leading by example?

[Crusaders Leadership Programme™ @CrusadersLP]

Sir Wayne Smith says “it is the intangibles, like care, that help you be successful on the field.” ♥️ 🏆

To apply this, ask yourself:
🤔 What happens when the pressure comes on?
🤔 How am I taking care of myself, others, family, friends and the wider community?

The Crusaders are the most successful rugby team in the world, and champion coach Robbie Deans, says the rugby’s easy. For him, the thing that sets the Crusaders apart is not their technical skills. His first job is to create an environment where the players are ready to immerse.

“I was an All Black, but I wasn't a great of the game. So long as I had really purposeful intent about how I applied to every training and every game and every week of my life, that's what counted.”
