Culture is not something you fall into. You work at it every single day, and the day you think you can take a day off from it is the day it starts to leak.

“To be trusted as a teammate, you have to have great character.
Competitive character.
Everybody trusts and believes that everybody’s going to go out and do their job so the team has a chance to be successful."

Let your light shine today as bright as ever before! Many will try to dim you and your light but to no avail. Your light is lit by God! That's what they don't understand. #CoachPrime

“I do not like losing but I’m not afraid to lose. I learn from losing,” Michael Jordan

If the standard is daily growth, then adversity becomes part of the process and winning becomes part of the culture.

The strongest people in the room are often the ones quietly lifting everyone else higher.

Wishing a Happy Mother's Day to all of our mothers and grandmothers! 🌺

“You can’t reach the playoffs, you can’t win a championship if you don’t win the day in front of you. Just getting better every single day in the weight room, in the training room, on the court. Trying to maximize the day is the main goal,” Paige Bueckers

Habits build winners.

This is my first Mother's Day without my mom.

She was behind everything anyone has ever credited me for.

Mom was the steady one.

She didn't push me toward baseball.

She pushed me toward thinking.

"Son, you need to be able to read. You need to be able to write. You need to be able to think."

When the whole country was telling a 17-year-old kid he was the next big thing, she sat me down and said:

"Follow your dream. But have a Plan B."

She knew baseball could be taken from me in an instant.

She wanted to make sure something couldn't.

We lost her last year.

And what I keep coming back to is this:

The discipline, the work ethic, the ability to keep my feet under me when life unravels didn't come from a clubhouse.

It came from her.

It came from a woman who never threw a baseball but taught me how to hit the one pitch that really matters.

The one life keeps throwing.

Mom, I miss you.

Thank you for the Plan B I never had to use, and the character I use every single day.

Happy Mother's Day to every mom who's still here. And every mom we now carry forward.

Don’t let your environment define you today. Walk in with purpose and the power to change the atmosphere around you. Be a Coffee Bean. ☕️ #BeACoffeeBean

[Damon West @damonwest7]

The people or situations you once saw as setbacks may end up being the very things that saved you. Perspective changes everything.

#BeACoffeeBean #Perspective

[Damon West @damonwest7]

Being a coffee bean means showing up for yourself first because that’s where real transformation begins.

4/21 🤔’s from Anna Maria 🏝️

🤔

Anxiety doesn't come from thinking about the future. It comes from trying to control it. From holding onto the illusion that if you plan, predict and prepare enough, nothing will go wrong.

But life was never meant to be gripped so tightly.

Truth is: control doesn't create security. It creates pressure. The pressure to have it all figured out, to never make a mistake and to avoid every possible risk. You can't
micromanage the future. Some of the best things in life will arrive unannounced. On timelines you didn't set. Through detours you didn't choose. And with outcomes you couldn't have predicted.

Anxiety says: "What if it falls apart?" But faith gently answers: "What if it comes together in ways better than you imagined?"

Thanks to @SimonAlexanderO for the inspiration

30 years ago I was the starting QB at Utah State University. My senior year I got benched. For the next 15 years I walked around feeling like a certified loser. Then I read this quote from Pat Summitt:
'Winning is fun… Sure. But winning is not the point.
Wanting to win is the point.
Not giving up is the point.
Never letting up is the point.
Never being satisfied with what you’ve done is the point.'
It snapped me out of it. If you’re still carrying a sports setback, a benching, a missed opportunity, or any “I’m not enough” story… this is your permission slip to drop it. The game isn’t over. Your story is not yet written. You are still a work in progress. The point is you keep wanting it. You keep getting up. And you listen to that quiet voice that says, "I will try again tomorrow."

Trust the process. Growth is happening within.
