Listen to this interaction between Coach K and Kobe Bryant in the 2008 Olympics

“Those are Lakers shots, not shots that are trying to win a Gold Medal. I can’t let you take them”

“Is that all? I agree. I won’t take them”

Players want accountability

Elite Athletes are Wired Differently.

I have coached a few.

Here are 5 ways they are wired differently.

Why do some programs struggle year after year?

There are many reasons.

Here are 5 Common Reasons Some Programs Struggle Year After Year...

1: Bad Habits
Teams and individuals never 'Rise to the Occasion.' They always sink to their habits. Bad habits lose games. Good habits win games. Most teams that lose have sloppy habits in practice that carry over to games. Details matter.

2: Poor Culture
A Coach's #1 job is to create a Positive, Team-Centered Culture. Culture can win you a lot of games. Culture gets you through the tough times. When you do not define your culture, it defines you.

Culture is:
- What you allow
- What you emphasize
- Every day

Bad cultures can become toxic. Focus on building your Culture each and every day.

3: Poor Leadership
Player leadership is critical to Team Success. Player-led teams win. Poor player leadership can destroy a team. Coaches need a systemic way to build and grow their leaders. I have developed my Team Leader OS for this reason.

4: Unrealistic Goals
Set reachable goals. Then, tuck them away and focus on consistent habits. Focus on the process. Trust the process. If your goals become too difficult to reach, then change your goals. Unrealistic goals can create a losing mindset.

5: Entitlement Mindset
Entitlement is a guaranteed loser for a team. Create a culture where "Everything is Earned." Create a 'No Deposit, No Return' mindset.

Teams lose when players feel:
- They are entitled to PLAY
- They are entitled to LEAD
- They are entitled to BE THERE

Eliminate entitlement on your team. It will ruin your culture.

I have created many resources to help coaches build their Team Culture and develop their Team Leaders. Check my profile for more details.

DISCIPLINE IS A WAY OF LIFE

This entire clip from Nick Saban is pure gold. Discipline is everything. Every player should watch this clip understanding how they do drills in practice, how they warm up, or do anything is a mentality. It can't be turned on or off.

[William Payne @TweetsbyCoachP]

Parents, there is literally NOTHING positive that can come from yelling or “coaching from the stands”. Nothing. It’s not the time or place. It negatively affects your child, the other players, & the team in general. There’s a time & place for most things….that isn’t one of them!

Kids need to hear this.

Specializing in one sport growing up is a very narrow-minded approach

Listen to @JoshAllenQB … he played football, baseball, & did gymnastics growing up & he doesn’t care who knows it
