Gregg Popovich shares his final message and it has nothing to do with wins and losses.

"The wins and losses are all crap. The highs and lows are all crap. It's illusory. It doesn't really exist."

"What exists is seeing these guys and their kids. Those relationships with your assistant coaches - everybody else you're with - your colleagues, your friends."

"'Cause that's what you take with you as you move along."

The best leaders and coaches invest in people.

"All those wins or losses - they fade away. They fade away."

"But those relationships stick with you forever. And that's where the self-esteem and the self-satisfaction comes."

A must-listen message for all coaches, players, parents, and teach out there.

Great leadership isn't one style. It's knowing your people well enough to give them what they need. Invest in the relationships.

Care about people, hold them to their potential, and lead in your style.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Brad Stevens was asked, "What advice do you have for young leaders?"

He didn't hesitate.

He gave 3 things every leader must master.

Here’s what he said - and why it matters:

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Brad Stevens shares the two qualities that define the best leaders - and why you need both.

"The best leaders are warm and demanding."

"You can approach them to go out to dinner. You can approach them about your situation. You can approach them about life off the court."

"And at the same time - when you get between those lines, there's a demand of operating at an excellent level."

Warm without demand is soft.
Demand without warmth is cold.

The best leaders are both.

"It doesn't mean it's demeaning. It's just we have an expectation that you're going to operate at your highest level."

"Yes, there are expectations. Yes, there are great demands. But yes - we realize you're a human being and we're here to help in any way that we can."

The best leaders care about you and they believe in you and your potential.

They balance being warm and being demanding. (🎥Positive Coaching Alliance )

On Jan. 31, 1973, President Nixon put Congress on notice: get responsible with spending, or own the tax hikes that follow.

He refused to back programs that would raise Americans' taxes.
