@CoachDanCasey May god be with whichever LB has to cover CMC on a choice route. That first route concept from LA is diabolical.

“If I’m mad at a teammate because he’s being selfish, I’m not going to say we’ll its my license to be selfish. This is going to be a roller coaster or is this going to be a championship prize fighter group?” Dusty May

Accountability isn’t conditional.

Neither are standards.

Sean McVay nailed the job description.

Be an elevator.

Lift people to their highest potential.
That's it.
That's leadership. 🔥

[Josh Chambers @JoshChambers]

Dan Hurley on the two personas every head coach must master:

The Jockey 🏇, and the Corner Man. 🥊

In practice — you are the jockey. You push. You challenge. You demand more than they think they have. You stretch them past comfort so execution becomes inevitable.

On game night — you become the corner man. You steady. You simplify. You remind them who they are. Confidence replaces correction.

Preparation is where you build them.
Performance is where you believe in them.

@BenAxelrod It’s more of a culture thing. They were one of the most influential hoops teams of all time.

POWERFUL: #Buccaneers legend Lavonte David was crying at his press conference today talking about becoming a GIRL DAD.

“I thought I needed a son to become a man… but having a daughter made me one”

“Having a girl showed me what really matters in life”

Yes!

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

“You guys make it about the wins and losses. 25 years from now, I want them to pick up the phone and call me because they need me. I’m there for them.”

The life of a coach is an investment in people, not just points.

Build a legacy that outlasts the jersey.

Amazing perspective

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Shane Battier shares a must-listen on what it really means to be a champion, how to be a great teammate, and how to make an impact.

"The sign says, 'Champions are made when no one is looking.' I sorta laugh at that sign because there is no better sign to sum up my career than that. I lived that literally."

Here's why:
"My last few years in the NBA, I was first or last, depending on how you look at it - in a stat called time per possession...I was the NBA's version of hot potato."

Then he did the math:
"I found out that 98% of the time I was on the court, I didn't touch the ball. Only 2% of the time I actually physically touched it."

"Most people watch the player with the ball or guarding the ball. So literally, when I say 'champions are made when no one's watching' - no one is watching me for 98% of the time."

"But yet I was an integral part of my team. I was an integral piece in my coach's sweat when I didn't play."

How did he do it?
"I always looked at ways to impact the game. Boxing out. Taking charges. Sexy plays like running back on defense. All of these made up my 98% of time spent away from the ball."

98% invisible, but 100% essential.

You don't have to score to make an impact on the game.

The best teammates own their role. They are willing to put the team first over individual glory.

@CollinRugg Dumb question, terrible timing.

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

NEW: Quinn and Jack Hughes say they were up late the night before their game against Canada, talking about how they were going to score a winning goal in overtime.

"That's what you dream about. When you're six years old, seven. I'm 24 now, I'm still dreaming that."

"This is the best moment in USA Hockey in a long time. And to be a part of this group, to do it with my brother, we've had such a fun couple of weeks... and we're just happy this is the way we finished it."

Detroit Lions HC Dan Campbell - Meeting Structure

"First of all I know this, you can give them deadhead if you're not careful, so hit them in spurts. You give them 20 minutes, hit them on what you need to hit them on & get them out for a couple minutes, bring them back & keep going."

"It needs to be interactive, ultimately we're teachers. We're teachers in football, so how do you communicate & articulate what you're trying to get across to those players. Don't make it more complex than it needs to be, keep it simple where they can play fast, know what to do & make it interactive, make it fun.

Such a good thought to have as a coach.

[Daniel Abrahams @DanAbrahams77]

Sean McVay asks himself regularly…

“Would I want to be coached by me?”

The LA Rams coach holds the mirror up in front of himself and questions his practices and processes. He questions his behaviours and actions.

“Would I want to be coached by me?”

Would I want to experience what I deliver daily? Would I want to be around me? Would I want to engage in my session design? Would I want to approach me and have an honest conversation? Would I look to me as someone who is highly competent?

“Would I want to be coached by me?”

A question that goes beyond sport…would I want to be married to me? Would I want to be in a team at work with me? It’s a question that immerses you in a meta-state aimed to build self-awareness - thinking about your behaviours in a given context. Rising above yourself to look at yourself. Taking the helicopter view of what others might experience from you.

Self-awareness
Meta-states

@bordeauxyoutube Recruiting is still kind of whack to me. The amount of recruits you lose to a school with a lower tier or even no tier pipeline at all is mind blowing. Sometimes feels like the pipeline tier and deal break grades don’t mean anything.
