"Sometimes toughness looks like playing hard for 40 minutes, but sometimes toughness looks like cheering your teammates on from the bench.

In any circumstance, toughness is an option.

Toughness is about the effort, not the role."
@BallisPsych

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Coach K said, "Because you love what you are pursuing, things like rejection and setbacks will not hinder you in your pursuit. You believe that nothing can stop you!"

Resilience is your ability to endure and recover stronger.

It means grit and perseverance.

Coach K's 4 Principles for Resilience:
1. Attitude - He believes, "It is on you to have a great attitude."
• Your attitude is a choice.
• Positive anything is better than negative nothing.
• What you think you can do is what will will happen.

Lesson: Your attitude defines if you will say "Why me?" or "Why not me?"

2. Belief - Belief is contagious. He said, "I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come." You have to believe in yourself and your team. He would ask his players - Do you believe that you can figure it out?

Lesson: If you don't believe you can then you won't.

3. Preparation - Once you have great attitude and belief, preparation is where success begins. 3 questions he would ask:
• How can you change that?
• How will it be different this time?
• What did you learn from your setbacks?

Lesson: Learn from your mistakes. The strength of the team lies in its preparation.

4. Execution - Coach K said, "You can have the best game plan in the world, but if you don't execute, it doesn't matter. Success is not a random act."
• It means have a plan.
• It means communicate the plan.
• It means hold everyone accountable.

Lesson: Be detailed and execute with purpose. Execution is everything.

"When you keep taking each other with you, then you win. Winning is making the best out of any situation that you are in, in an ethical way." - Coach K

My biggest pet peeve as a coach?

The VICTIM Mindset.

It sets kids up for a life of mediocrity.

Don’t let this happen.

Here are 5 ways it forms…

Why do Some Programs WIN Year after Year?

Over my career, I have been very fortunate to be a part of some very successful programs.

I have learned and seen a lot.

Here are 5 Reasons Some Programs Win Year after Year.

1. Players

We all know you need players to win.

But you can’t just wait or wish for players to show up in your program.

Coaches must have a sound developmental program to give your program the best chance to succeed.

This does not ensure great players, but it will help you have more consistency.

Our basketball developmental plan consists of the following:

- A 300-Hour Club Off-Season Program
- Consistent Youth Program
- Summer Camps
- Focus on Skills
- “No Deposit, No Return” Mindset

Define your developmental program.

Make it your culture.

Check my bio for FREE links to my 300-Hour Club & more.

2. Culture

"Culture matters. Knowing how to win matters."

A good winning culture can make good teams great, and it can make mediocre teams good.

I define Culture as the following:

- What you Allow
- What you Emphasize
- Every Day

3. Commitment

Great programs have a culture of commitment and buy-in.

Committed players create a standard that becomes contagious for a winning program.

Committed players = Committed teams.

Committed teams = Winning teams.

4. Consistency

"Winning is not a something thing. Winning is a lifestyle; it is a daily choice."

Winning programs know that to win in the long term, you must “Win Each Day.”

Winning programs have consistency from the coaching staff, in the system, and at all program levels, even in the down years.

Consistency gets teams through these times.

5. Leadership

Finally….Leadership Matters, and it matters A LOT.

Winning programs know that Leadership is the X factor for the team each season.

These programs focus on building leaders each year, each day, and they do so over time.

They have a meaningful and systemic approach to leadership.

These player leaders become the gatekeepers of the culture.

Summary:
If you want a winning program, these five keys are crucial to success.

There is no easy way to win.

It takes hard work and commitment.

Remember, No Deposit, No Return!

Are you willing to do what winning requires?

Average teams want to win.

Great teams are willing to do what winning requires.
