Feedback means someone believes you can be better—what a compliment.
When you get coached hard, welcome it and delight in knowing that someone cares enough about your growth to speak up.
Amateurs view feedback as an attack.
Pros view feedback as a gift.
I've heard this from so many pros over my years covering high school sports, and it never gets old. Listen to Kirk Cousins talk about Friday Night Lights. @chriscfore you'll love this as will everyone who understands the beauty of high school sports.
Game results reflect practice habits.
"We have got to understand - we win the games today.
We win the games before we play them.
Then you deserve to win.
When we come in here, it's a plan to get ready to win the game."
You can't want:
more playing time
a bigger role
leadership responsibilities
championships
to play at the next level
If you don't want:
to work hard
to make sacrifices
to discipline yourself
to be coached
to be held accountable
Wants come with requirements.
