1991 Chicago Bulls lifting on game day 😤
Back when most thought it was crazy.
The Bulls knew better: morning weights kept them strong, physical, and fresh through the long season + playoffs.
MJ & Scottie didn’t skip it.
Neither should you.
In-season lifting = non-negotiable
Marcus Freeman shares why "leading by example" isn't enough.
"We don't love leaders by example. Because leaders by example are guys that do what they're told to do, they do everything they're asked, right?"
"But they don't say things when their teammates aren't reaching the standard. We can't have that."
Real leadership isn't just performing at the standard. It's protecting the standard.
"We need more leaders. Guys that are willing to hold their teammates accountable because it's gonna make your teammate better."
Accountability isn't about being hard on people. It's about caring enough to not let them settle.
"I wanna make everybody in our organization the best they possibly can be. So if I let you cut corners or I don't say something to you when you're falling under the standard, then I'm not helping push you to the best you can be."
Leading by example is the baseline.
Leading with accountability is the standard.

You have to show up and do the work.
• It means effort.
• It means commitment.
• It means earning it, not being entitled.
“If you’re a high school athlete you better be lifting year round. You’re competing with transfer portal athletes who train 48 weeks a year. You’re a baseball player who lifts for 3 months in the off season then says “I have travel ball” or “I’m not lifting in season” you are already behind. Lifting is the X factor for baseball players”

💥“We didn’t win that game because I gave some speech at halftime. We won that game because of what we did six months ago.”
💪What you are doing in January, February, and March will help you win in October, November, and December!
