In 1977, Tom Meindel, an Air Force veteran, was finishing his coursework in art instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and had a design business.

The Brewers’ logo contest offered him a challenge, even though he wasn’t the biggest baseball fan.

"You don’t get rewarded for doing what is required."@inkyjohnson
Greatness is not given to a chosen few. Greatness is given to the few who choose to do 'more than what's required'.
To be great, you have to give great -great sacrifice, great focus, great discipline, great effort.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

If losing doesn’t bother you, winning probably doesn’t mean enough to you.
The best competitors take responsibility because they care deeply about the result, the team, and the standard.
Caring deeply comes with a cost but so does becoming great.

Accountability isn’t punishment, it’s a gift.

Surround yourself with people who tell you the truth and push you to be better, not people who let you settle for mediocrity.

Draymond Green explains why he stopped trying to be the player he wanted to be and became the player his team needed him to be

“David Lee was incredible. David Lee was a scoring machine. Can score the ball left hand, right, range, off the dribble. You name it, D Lee was getting to it. I didn’t quite feel like I was as good of a scorer as him. And so I’m like, all right, once David Lee gets hurt, well, I can’t come in here trying to score because I can’t score as well as David Lee at this point.”

“If I go in there trying to score, then I’m just a lesser version of what they already have. So my mindset wasn’t to go in there and score. My mindset was go in there and do everything that David doesn’t do.”

“I’m gonna go in there and lock up. D Lee ain’t playing no goddamn defense. That’s one of my OGs. I love D Lee. I am going to run and screen like nobody’s tomorrow. I’m gonna go get these guys involved like nobody else is getting them involved.”

“If I can go do this, they won’t compare me to him. They won’t hold me to the standard that he’s held to as far as scoring the ball every night. And I can just bring my own thing. We start having success, and once we start having success, I’m like alright, I need to start doing more and more of this. Then I started having personal success, and it all just blossomed.”

Steve Kerr says Roger Federer taught his Warriors team the secret to sustained success wasn’t outworking everyone, it was building a life around your craft you never want to escape from

“I’ll tell you a great story about Roger Federer. We were playing in China with the Warriors in 2017. Roger was in Shanghai for the Masters tournament, so we invited him to come speak to the team.”

“Draymond Green asked him, ‘How do you sustain success? How have you managed to win majors 20 years after you first won one?’ Everyone was expecting him to say, ‘I work harder than everybody,’ the will, all the clichés.”

“Roger Federer says, ‘I get up every morning and I make breakfast for my kids. Then I take them to school and drop them off. Then I go practice tennis for about two hours, and I’ve figured out a really good routine where I don’t destroy my body, but I can get all the work in I need.”

“‘Then I go have lunch with my wife. In the evening, we cook dinner together. The kids are all home from school. We ask them about school. There’s so much joy in the house. We put them to bed, and then I put my head on the pillow and go, “Man, that was just a great day.” And I’ve been doing that for 20 years.’”

“And it was like, yes. That’s it. That’s the formula. That’s what leads to sustained success. He loves tennis. He loves his family. He loves life. It’s not outworking everybody and banging your head against the wall, ‘I’m going to be better than everybody.’ It’s allowing your natural talent to shine through with a work ethic, with a great family life, with perspective, with peace, with mindfulness.”

“It’s perspective. It’s joy. It’s passion. It’s mindfulness. It’s an awareness that we are truly lucky. To get the most out of ourselves, it’s our daily rituals and experiences and love and joy.”

"Standards are for people who aspire to do special things. Rules are for people who can't follow directions."
-Tim Corbin

Rules create order.
Standards create separation.
The teams that do special things expect more than what is simply required.
