Are you coachable?

In middle-school gym class, the “cool kids” never tried.
They jogged instead of sprinting, laughed off losses, acted like they didn’t care.
It wasn’t confidence. It was insecurity.

DO THIS WITH YOUR TEAMS!!!
I love doing this with groups or teams … especially when we do shooting drills.
Have the players rank themselves from 1st to Worst. Then create a bracket with these rankings. Each round is a different head to head shooting match off of a game movement.
At the end, you’ll have a new ranking for who shot the best that day.
It’s a good reminder that …
1. Your actions need to back up your words.
2. Rankings don’t matter, you need to show up and produce

Real teammates don’t envy success — they ignite it.
Be the kind of teammate who fuels greatness, not fears it.
