John Wooden didn't win his first national title until his 16th season at UCLA.

Starbucks didn’t reach store #5 until 13 years into its history.

Sam Walton didn’t open his 2nd store until 7 yrs after starting his company.

Be persistent. Success takes time.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

People who fit the culture early on get better reviews and more promotions.

But people who adapt as the culture changes are more successful over time.

Don't just hire and reward on fit today. Consider who will evolve with and improve tomorrow's culture.

In the face of wrongdoing, it takes courage tell the truth, but it takes character to see the truth.

Dishonesty is a problem. Willful blindness might be a bigger problem.

Integrity starts with refusing to let loyalty trump morality.

I've observed that if individuals who prevail in highly competitive environments have any one thing in common besides success, it is failure - and their ability to overcome it. - Bill Walsh

[Coach Quotes @CoachMotto]

TOUGHNESS is

• Hard to find
• Hard to teach
• Hard to beat

[Coach Quotes @CoachMotto]

The people that complain about how hard they work usually are not the ones working the hardest. – Aaron Roussell

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Across jobs, the best personality predictor of performance is conscientiousness: being industrious, dependable, and organized.

But it's less important in more complex, more ambiguous jobs.

6. And finally, I can’t say enough about the fight, resiliency and grit our team plays with each and every opportunity. We have learned, we have grown and we have faced adversity with strength, character and a maturity any coach would be proud of. @PackVball 💪🏼 fight strong!

My hubby sent me this picture today - they are about to cheer on @PackMensBball in Reynolds Coliseum today! This pic made me smile and then made me have lots of thoughts which I feel compelled to share...

5. #4 makes #3 worth it. Each season brings new challenges. Each season is a small journey within the much larger journey. I can’t think of anything better than committing to and serving our team to experience the great wins and tough defeats that mirror life’s ups and downs.
