Mike Brown shares a simple but powerful definition of winning in life.
"Even if you don't have the quote unquote ultimate success that you think you deserve - if you get knocked down in life and you're able to get back up and keep fighting - that's a fricking win."
"Most of our guys have probably had to go through that. But I think most people in the world have to go through it."
Success isn't always the result - sometimes it's just refusing to stay down.
It's choosing to endure, get back up, and keep fighting.
Successful people are relentless.

Nick Saban said, "We can't have complacency, we can't have selfishness, and we can't lose our accountability."
Because that's how culture dies.
It doesn't collapse overnight - It crumbles quietly.
Here are 5 silent culture killers every team must avoid:
1. Letting Toxic People Stay - Toxic people poison the culture from the inside-out. They lower morale, spread negativity, and block productivity.
Removing them protects your culture and your team.
Bill Parcells said, "Losers assemble in little groups and complain about the coaches and the players."
2. When you don't set expectations - There are certain non-negotiables you need to have. Vague expectations lead to inconsistency. People need to know what's expected of them to perform well.
Clear expectations guide behavior and improve outcomes. They ensure everyone is on the same page.
3. When you don't communicate - Pat Summitt said, "You should never have an off-night on lack of communication."
Poor communication leads to misunderstandings and confusion. Feedback builds trust and alignment.
People to need to hear open dialogue for trust and alignment.
4. When you don't enable growth - Shaka Smart said, "As a coach, it's my job to help our guys be our best."
"If we could control the result every time, it'd be a win."
Great leaders don’t just chase wins. They care about people. They give people hope and focus on development.
5. When you don't hold people accountable - It weakens standards and erodes trust.
It’s not about being demeaning - it’s about building ownership.
Nick Saban said, "If you think that not confronting people who don't do the right things is helping your organization, you're absolutely wrong."
