COACHES: Be careful you don't get frustrated by the very things you are responsible for in your program. Players will do what you allow, tolerate, permit, or accept. Fight for your culture daily. Reinforce and reward the behaviors that are important to you.

[Ron Thomson @RTGrinder1]

Love it

[Joseph Zucker @JosephZucker]

Oh my god

[Ron Thomson @RTGrinder1]

@janssenleader Would love to see this rephrased to be about all the positive things that are done...that will matter on game day.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

What you see in games is the result of what you’ve taught/allowed in practice. Players can’t be faulted if you don’t teach them what they need to know or allow things that shouldn’t be happening. Give them what they need in the pre/off season & always hold them all accountable!

[Ron Thomson @RTGrinder1]

Agree 100%. Coaching is not easy at any level...think of the parent who steps in to coach their child when there are no qualified coaches available. Respect the craft!

[Kerry MacDonald PhD @Kerryjmac]

I'm a massive @SteveNash fan but IMO not even a 2x MVP should be trying to fill their "coaching itch" as an NBA head coach. Playing experience is an accelerant but not a hall pass. I take lots of flight but I'm no pilot. Respect the craft.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses- behind the lines, in the gym, & out on the road, well before I dance under the lights."-Muhammad Ali
Wins don't come on game day. Wins are created in practice with your daily habits & efforts. You don't find success-you earn it.

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

What we feed grows.
What we starve dies.

Positivity breeds positivity.
Negativity breeds negativity.

Success is a Choice.
Failure is a Choice.

Habits leads to outcomes!

We move with purpose.
We dig in.
We leave our mark.
We lead the pack.

Say hello to your new #NWPWolves

PLAYERS: You are never a neutral teammate. You are either making things better or making things worse on your team. You are either helping your teammates or not. You are either encouraging or not. You are either providing a good example or not. Great teams have great teammates!

[BETTER @bebetterleaders]

Behind every success is a lot of failure. Keep showing up.

[Ron Thomson @RTGrinder1]

@ReggieBush Stop coaching like you were coached. Best advice. Move into the modern world of science and a new age of human beings. Hands on knees helps and is only a sign of weakness if you think it is. Be smarter than that.

[Bernie Holliday @DocHolliday_13]

Competition is not about perfection. It’s about adaptation. It’s about compensating, adjusting, and figuring it out, all the way to the podium. A team’s greatest ability is its adaptability.
