Great teams don’t make excuses.
They make adjustments.

No…

“Yeah, but the refs…”
“Yeah, but they’re more talented…”
“Yeah, but we were tired…”

Accountability starts when the excuses stop.

Legendary former Alabama football coach Nick Saban issues a stark warning on the devastating trajectory of college sports under current NIL rules.

"It's become an arms race, who spends the most has got the best chance to win.”

“But I think it's a race to the bottom because if you don't spend to win, you lose your fan base and you don't have any revenue."

Coach Saban testifies on the future of College athletics:

Rick Pitino said it best.

Love without discipline spoils.
Discipline without love hardens.

You need both.

A bad coach tears people down. An average coach focuses only on results. A good coach teaches skills and systems. A great coach builds confidence and trust. An exceptional coach helps people believe in themselves at a higher level. And the best coaches impact lives long after the scoreboard stops mattering.

Good read for players & coaches. Everyone can’t be the star. Do your job well.

There are a lot of ways to build a team.

But there are really only five ways to destroy one.

A lack of trust. A fear of conflict. No real commitment. The unwillingness to hold each other accountable. And an inattention to collective results.

Get those five right, and almost everything else takes care of itself.

If your team is feeling stuck, this is where you should start.

Check out my book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team to learn more.

I’m in love with this sentence:

“The strongest version of you is buried under the habits you're afraid to break.”

Joe Mazzulla explained why he often credits others rather than himself. Worth a listen:

“I think being a D1 basketball player, you grow up with this sense of entitlement, as if the whole world revolves around you. And…if I wanted to be a better husband, a better father, a better coach, I had to get rid of that type of entitlement.”
