Success is the worst teacher there is.
You fail your way to success.
You have to get scarred up.
You have to go through it, so you can get where you want to go.
You learn through failure and being uncomfortable. That's where the real growth happens. @CoachVenables

Talent gives you an opportunity.
Your choices give you a chance.
Eventually, what you choose to do becomes more important than what you are capable of doing.
Choosing your teammates and culture makes a difference.
The Winning Difference.

Competition ≠ Winning and losing.

Competition = What you do in the space between winning and losing.

Dan Campbell is a walking quote machine.

On Hard Knocks, he said, “This last bit of losing has got to get outta here.”

Building culture is the #1 job of a coach, and Dan Campbell has changed the Lions' culture.

It was not easy. Here are 6 Ways He Did It...

1. ACCOUNTABILITY - “I told them, honestly, on Day 1, I said, ‘Look, I’m not carrying your toilet paper around. I’m not gonna wipe your butt. You’re gonna wipe your own butt. You handle it, and I’ll treat you like men until you prove otherwise.”

Campbell wanted to instill personal accountability into the culture. He used an interesting quote to do it!

2. LOSING - “This last bit of losing has got to get outta here.”

Losing is contagious. It is a mindset. Campbell used this quote to help them cleanse this mindset. Check out the link below for the video from Hard Knocks.

3. THE PROCESS - “There is no light at the end of the tunnel. There is no light. There’s a song Metallica has, ‘No Leaf Clover,’ and it says, ‘Man, when it comes to the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, it’s just a freight train coming your way.'"

There is no end. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. Culture never arrives. Campbell set the tone that this is an ongoing process. You never arrive. He has created the mindset needed to win long-term.

4. GRIT - "It's our core foundation, men. Grit. And what does it mean? Really, in a nutshell, I think it means this: we're going to go a little bit longer, we'll push a little harder, and we'll think a little deeper and a little sharper."

Campbell has created a culture of toughness and grit for his team. A mindset of 'no quit' and fight till the end.

5. MINDSET - “We’ll tread water as long as it takes to bury you.”

Campbell trying to instill a competitive and winning mindset. It takes what it takes. Competitors never quit. They find a way to win.

6. LUNACY - “I swear to God, I’m not a lunatic.”

Some of Campbell's quotes and thoughts are out there, but he is also realistic and driven. Sometimes, changing a culture takes a unique and more extreme approach, which has worked. Campbell has transformed a long-standing culture of losing in Detroit.

And remember, Culture is...

- What you Allow
- What you Emphasize
- Every Day!

Dan Campbell is building a winning culture each and every day.

"The right way is always the hardest way.

It’s human nature to run away from what is difficult.

But if everyday what you have to fight for is hard, as time goes by in your life...at some point, it ain't gonna be hard because of your habits." @TeamCoachBuzz

[Mr.G @PrincipalGabby]
