Wayne Gretzky shares the advice he gives to every young athlete.
"The commitment and the work ethic is worth it."
"My dad was a big believer that the harder you work as a kid, the more fun you're going to have as an adult. And the more fun you have as a kid, the harder you're going to work as an adult."
Read that again.
It's one of the truest things ever said about success.
Work now, play later. Or play now and work forever.
"The commitment and the passion for what you're doing is so worth it at the end of the day. Just believe each and every day - it's really, really worth it."
Commitment is a choice. It's choosing long-term growth over short-term comfort.
"I wouldn't trade my life in for anything in the world."
Outcomes and rewards require sacrifice.
The key question is: what price am I willing to pay?

Peyton Manning once said, "I am a huge believer in being coached.”
Great players embrace coachability - it’s the key to growth and success.
So, what does being coachable really look like?
Here are 6 ways players show coachability:
1. Active Listening: Coachable players pay close attention to their coach's instructions and feedback. They listen attentively, demonstrating respect for the coach's expertise and a willingness to learn.
2. Open to Feedback: Coachable players welcome constructive criticism and use it for improvement. They don't take feedback personally; they see it as valuable information to enhance their skills.
3. Implementing Feedback: Coachable players take the feedback they receive and actively work to apply it in their practice and performance. They're proactive in making the necessary adjustments based on the coach's guidance.
4. Adaptability: These players are flexible and open to trying new techniques or strategies the coach suggests. They understand that adaptation is essential for growth and success in their sport.
5. Respect for the Coach: Respect is fundamental to coachability. Players who respect their coach's authority and experience are willing to learn and trust the coach's guidance.
6. Positive Attitude: Coachable athletes maintain a positive and enthusiastic attitude. They approach practices and games with a willingness to learn, even when faced with challenges, and they inspire their teammates with dedication.

Pizza parties don’t build culture if it’s the only thing we do to build culture. Waiting to support people until they are at their breaking point isn’t helping us build momentum. Every conversation matters. #LeadFromWhereYouAre#1minwalk2work#giveyourselfachance
Pointing the finger is easy. Owning the issue in front of those you lead isn't always the easiest thing to do, but the right thing to do. When things don't go as planned, how do you pick up the pieces and keep moving forward? #AuthenticEDU
