Gratitude 🙏🏽

Today I want to express my amazement with @KAndersonWR2024 who has had multiple obstacles that he never stops fighting through and coming back from.
He is relentless, resilient and all about getting back to help the team.

[Clear Leadership @LeadClearly1]

Loyalty is not enough reason to stay somewhere that has stopped valuing you, stopped growing you and stopped treating you like you matter beyond what you produce.

Loyalty is a virtue but it becomes a liability when it's one sided.

When you have given years, effort and genuine commitment to a place or a person and you're consistently met with silence, stagnation or disrespect, staying out of loyalty is not always noble. Sometimes you're simply staying in a situation that is no longer good for you.

You can appreciate what something was without ignoring what it has become. Know when loyalty to yourself has to come first.

[Clear Leadership @LeadClearly1]

Your boss is not responsible for your motivation, your growth or your happiness at work. Those things are yours to manage.

A good leader will create conditions that make all three easier but even in the best environment the ownership of your development, your attitude and your engagement belongs to you.

Today I want to express my appreciation for coaches who build up their players.

Leadership is finding the qualities people have and amplifying them.

[Clear Leadership @LeadClearly1]

Stop trying to convince your way into spaces that were never built for you. Not every room deserves your pitch, your proof or your patience.

Some environments have already decided and no amount of excellence, consistency or effort will change a conclusion that was never really about your performance in the first place. Know when to redirect your energy.

The right spaces won't make you spend your entire life proving that you deserve to be there. They'll give you room to contribute, grow and be recognised for what you bring.

And sometimes you'll look back and wonder why you spent so long fighting for a seat at a table that was never going to make room for you.

Today I want to express my appreciation for Belief.

Such a simple word and concept but when you have it you’re unstoppable.

Wish more coaches, leaders, managers knew this, but especially coaches.

[Coach Jon Schroeder 🏀 @CoachSchroeds]

As a coach, know that your words can become a player’s inner voice for years, if not the rest of their life. Always choose them wisely.

Words Become Belief! #WhatWins💯

Your attitude on the ordinary days, the slow seasons and the moments when nothing feels like it's moving often determines how far you eventually go.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Your leadership creates your culture. Your cultures creates the experience your team has. The experience they have determines their level of effort and commitment.

If you want things to get better, start with you.

Leaders set the tone.

Today I want to express my appreciation for coaches that don’t use their position to make smart ass comments to athletes they know can’t respond because of the position of power.

You are in the minority.

Don’t let negative, toxic, energy vampire type people drag you down. Stay focused and don’t let any distractions get you off course. You have dreams to chase not people to impress.

Today I want to express my appreciation for opportunity.

When one person won’t give you one, someone else will.

It's just come to my attention that former Boise State RB Seth Knothe is now listed on LSU's roster for the 2026 season. Knothe disappeared from Boise State's roster in January.

He's listed as a DB for LSU.

Complaining makes a good situation bad and a bad situation worse.

Be better. Own the way you show up. Own your actions. Own your impact.

Eliminate complaining from your life.

[Adell J. Harris | Career & Personal Development @AdellJHarris]

Coaches,

Attack the problem not the person.

[J @JRAnderson75]

Self-awareness

Sometimes people will show you exactly who you are, you just need to pay attention.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

77% of young athletes say their confidence is directly affected by their coach.

Give them more than instruction.

Make them feel:
Seen
Trusted
Connected
Valued
Purposeful
Empowered
Safe

The scoreboard measures performance. Great coaches build the person behind the performance.

I want to express my appreciation for Ted Lasso.
He is able to look past nuanced personalities and see the value in individuals, recognizing the strength and resilience it takes to continue to press forward through adversity and setbacks.

Today I want to express my appreciation for honesty.

We have to be honest with ourselves before we can be honest with anyone else. And everyone can tell.

[Coach the Coaches @WinningCoaches]

Some players have been broken and humbled.

Which resulted in them becoming hungry and driven.

And when hungry and driven is combined with WORK and PASSION…

They get uncommon results that even surprise themselves!
