Got asked to do my best Bradley Cooper impression today. Now I just need a Lady Gaga. Any takers?

Failure is the best teacher that we have.

Everything is a learning opportunity to grow and get better.

Use failure as fuel and having better information that you didn't have before.

If the only time people know you’re a captain is when you walk out for the coin toss on Friday nights, you’re doing it wrong!

Lead in the hallways, in the classroom, the weight room, and most importantly…

LEAD IN LIFE!

[Coach Hines 🇺🇸 @CoachKurtHines]

I Can't stand "S.O.F.T." Players!

S - satisfied with being average
O - only concerned about self
F - finds excuses easily
T - tough in speech, but not action

* This applies to coaches as well!

COACHES: Culture is the result of what you reinforce, allow, reward, or accept EACH day.

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

Kobe Bryant worked like he had no talent, then he played like he believed he was the best player in the world. Prepare with humility; perform with confidence.

There’s no denying Giannis came up short, but this response to “failure” was fascinating.

All parents should watch & show their kids.

PLAYERS: When you become a "whatever the team needs" type player then you become a great teammate. This also makes your team's culture stronger. Great teams have great teammates.

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

COACHES: Whatever you condone in your program is what you should be prepared to own and accept in your program. Don't be surprised when you get the very things you allow. What you accept, permit, reward, allow, or reinforce in your program becomes your culture.

Positivity isn’t weak. It’s one of the keys to mental toughness, grit and resilience. Sometimes the most positive thing you can do is turn failure into fuel and frustration into focus.

[Ethan Miller @EthanMiller_MP]

If you want to go fast - go alone.

If you want to go far - go with others.

Surround yourself with the right people who push you and challenge you to become more.

We are built for making connections & when it's with the right people, there's no stopping you.

Good teachers know their lesson plans. Great teachers know their students.

Good coaches know X's and O's. Great coaches know their players.

Good leaders know their vision. Great leaders know their team.

Your people make the difference. They matter. Remind them that you care.

[Ethan Miller @EthanMiller_MP]

You were built to battle.

You were created to compete.

You were engineered to engage.

It's not how great the opportunity is, but how great you are for the opportunity.

This is your time - go get it.

A Bottle of water can be .50 cents at a supermarket. $2 at the gym. $3 at the movies and $6 on a plane. Same water. Only thing that changed its value was the place..So the next time you feel your worth is nothing, maybe you’re at the wrong place💯
