Confidence advice from Kobe Bryant:

Mental toughness 💯

@SportPsychTips Lack of Discipline is a problem but the bigger problem is,

Lack of a Big Goal.

As an athlete, we need to inspire ourselves to have a True Big Goal.

This is how it goes...

Big Goals
Big Challenges
Better Choices

Discipline is an Outcome when Life is all about it.

[Mike Madsen @FootballPsych_]

Authenticity and consistency are so important when building a culture and leading a team.

[Michael Langlois @ProspectComm]

Signs of a good youth coach: Your players love the game even more at the end of the season; they’re more confident; they play to win but they treat their teammates -and others- with respect; they train on their own; they are all getting better; they don’t blame or make excuses.

[Mindless Athlete @MindlessAthlete]

@SportPsychTips Don't be the athlete of the Attitude which says,

"Even I'd be great if I had the resources like the Pros"

This attitude is dangerous, since it's satisfying its Ego by using an Excuse.

Ego > Excuses > Inaction 🚫

Effort > Experience > Excellence ✅️

Select your Attitude!

The five main ingredients of athletic success:
1. Natural talent
2. Environment
3. Work ethic
4. Attitude
5. Teamwork

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Never be jealous of another athlete’s success. This only makes you bitter and unhappy. Understand that another athlete’s success doesn’t mean you can’t have your own success and happiness.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Dick Vermeil said, "The number one concept is to make sure people know you care. If you want to win over a person, first you have to win over their heart."

Leadership means doing more.
• Great leaders care.
• Great leaders connect.
• Great leaders influence.

They know it isn't about their title or position, it's about their behavior, actions, and ability to work with others.

Leadership is how you build relationships, set an example, and create a standard for performance.

[BETTER @bebetterleaders]

The team is a reflection of the leader.
If you want the team to live it, you must live it.

“It's not about the number of hours you practice, it's about the number of hours your mind is present during the practice.”

[Alan Stein, Jr. @AlanSteinJr]

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Coaching is more than just coaching. It’s also leading, motivating, inspiring, teaching, managing, mentoring, loving, and much more!

Jay Wright said, "We have a saying that everyone’s role is different, but everyone’s status is the same. It’s a reminder that no matter how bright the spotlight gets, we are all part of something much larger than ourselves."

Great teams emphasize the team.

They know that the strength of the team is everyone.
• It means creating a culture of trust.
• It means creating a culture of respect.
• It means creating a culture of collaboration.

The 7 Characteristics that Great Teams Possess:
1. Great teams commit to each other - People are dedicated to the team's goals and vision. They don't just talk about what they are going to do, they work hard and will themselves together as a team. It means sacrifice and putting ego aside.

2. Great teams have trust - They feel confident in each other's abilities and intentions. They are reliable and consistent in their approach while being transparent. They've created an environment for taking risks together.

3. Great teams are adaptable - There will always be challenges and great teams know how to adjust when new obstacles arise. They have a resilient and solution-oriented mindset to each challenge that comes their way. They demonstrate flexibility, resilience, and perseverance every day.

4. Great teams have strong leadership - Great teams have multiple leaders at all levels. These leaders guide, inspire, and support the team through each day. They set the standard of how you perform and set a clear direction, fostering a positive team culture.

5. Great teams hold each other accountable - There is always a sense of ownership, responsibility, and candor. Great teams set the standard of how you perform and hold you to that standard. Everyone embraces it and rises to that standard of performance.

6. Great teams care about each other - There's a sense of camaraderie and care for everyone. Caring isn't just words, it's a core part of the culture where people want you to succeed, want you to develop, and fight for your future. This strengthens team bonds and collaboration.

7. Great teams have a shared vision - There is never a question in what your goals and what is your WHY. Everyone is aligned with the team's objectives and purpose. This helps your move in the same direction because it drives unified efforts towards common goals.

Great teams don't just look to meet expectations, they want to exceed them consistently.
