Bill Cowher shares the 3 things he told his 3 daughters - and his 53 players.
"Number one - choices and consequences."
"You can control your choice. But once you make a choice, it controls you...Just understand - with every decision you make, there's a consequence that goes with that."
Your choices and actions matter.
"Number two - it's about the people you surround yourself with."
"Are they people that are purpose-driven? Or are they people that are just trying to feed off of who you are?"
"I want people around me that are purpose-driven. People focused on doing something impactful and meaningful."
"And the third thing - nothing good happens after midnight. Nothing."
Three rules. A lifetime of wisdom.
Your choices control you. Your circle defines you. Your habits protect you.

I observed parents and athletes at two great exposure events this last week and here are a few tips to the young women seeking to do the little things better in a camp or recruiting tournament.
These things will be seen by your coach, your opponent, the umpire, and college coaches.
1. Make eye contact with your coach regularly or the coach at the station or field you’re on so you’re locked in and listening
2. Smile & demonstrate good body language, even if you make a mistake, you’re not playing well, you’re not playing, or you’re in a session with a coach you don’t know or didn’t know would be there (your engagement w your team should be bigger than your personal feelings).
3. Speak to each coach or lead when you’re with them or at their station (could be an athlete teaching and you could create a relationship that you can learn from)
4. Be engaged
5. Have conversations w coaches and teammates about the game and what you’re seeing, evaluate athletes in a way to grow yourself . Ex: what is she doing I can learn from…
6. Check in at all events yourself, if you’re in middle school and above (you speak or walk forward to the adults or athletes at check in)
7. Stretch and throw and warm up with intention
8. Go about each thing you do with respect and passion to the game, umpire and opponent.
9. Mentally be smarter in the fourth inning than you were at the start (bc you have been engaged)
10. Give your best at every small task you do: on deck, in dugout, pre game, in game, and post game stretch. Own your actions and emotions. Own your development. Own your process.
Can we PLEASE start using the word “lose” and “loose” in the right context!! I mean come on people!! It’s literally everyday! For the record you don’t “loose” a player and you don’t “loose” a game!
