PLAYERS: When coaches, teachers, or parents push you or hold you to high standards, it's normally because they want you to be better. They want you to reach your potential. They want you to achieve your goals. Be coachable and appreciate the ways they might be able to help you.

Leaders need to speak up when teammates:

Get unfocused
Are selfish/disrespectful
Blame others
Lose morale
Get lazy
Take shortcuts
Make bad choices
Leave locker room messy
Need a buffer between another player & coach
Stir up conflict/drama
Continue talking while coach is talking

You don't realize that your body language is like a neon sign. It screams everything you’re not saying. Primarily, it shows your character, attitude, intention & ability to handle adversity. Keep positive body language, especially when things are hard. It shows you can overcome!

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

PLAYERS: Are you taking short cuts now that could cost your team in the long run? How you do everything is how you do anything. Are you the kind of person your teammates can count on? Great teams have great teammates.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Practice is the most misused word in any sport. Practice isn’t just showing up. It’s hard work, discomfort, challenges, failing, intensity. Practice is preparation; it’s training. There’re no secrets. The greatest players are in the gym the most & never try to fake it. They work!

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

PLAYERS: It's not your parent's responsibility, your coach's responsibility, or your teammate's responsibility to get you to be coachable and work hard. You control your attitude and effort regardless of your surroundings or circumstances. It's 100% your responsibility.

10 Things Teammates Don't Let Teammates Do in Championship Cultures
#CultureWins 🏆

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

5 Ways to Know a Player ISN’T ALL-IN:

1️⃣ Shows up late
2️⃣ Only does the required work
3️⃣ Doesn’t encourage teammates
4️⃣ Shuts down when coached hard
5️⃣ Pouts when subbed out or when on the bench

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

PLAYERS: When you're on the bench, you never know when Coach will put you into the game. It is important to be an active observer, stay mentally (and physically) ready, and learn as much as you can by watching. Don't make mistakes that a teammate might have previously made.

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

PLAYERS: A coach's job can't always revolve around making you happy. A coach's job is to help make the team better.

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

PLAYERS: Your coach shouldn't have to beg you to be unselfish, provide energy, have a good attitude, or give your best effort. Those are all things you can control. That is what a winning teammate brings to a team. Great teams have great teammates.

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

PLAYERS: Anyone can have a good attitude when they're playing well, the team is winning, they're getting minutes, or the refs are not "picking on them". But a player's true self shows when things are not going well. Have a good attitude regardless of the circumstances.

“are you ok?” no i want a tattoo

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

PLAYERS: When coaches don't play you, they aren't necessarily "disrespecting" you or "hating" on you. They might be showing respect to your team. Good coaches play the players that make up the best team and who are the most trusted team members. Become that kind of teammate!

DO YOUR JOB

"You can have all the talent in the world but if you’re not going to listen and be in the right spot every time and be accountable to do your job properly then you’re not going to play." (Julio Jones)

If you think practice doesn't make a difference, you're just not practicing right.
