PLAYERS: Whether you are starting or sitting on the bench, your team is YOUR TEAM. It's 'we', 'us', and 'ours', not 'they', 'them', or 'their'. Win or lose, playing or sitting, you are responsible for being a good teammate, positive leader, energy-giver, and verbal encourager.

Wow! Tom Brady may have just delivered the greatest quote I’ve ever heard.

“To be successful at anything, the truth is you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it.”

[Brian Benator @CoachBenatorHH]

Do yourself a favor. Watch this. I have about 14 times already and it’s barely 8 AM. Excellent stuff.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"Winning is hard.
People don't realize how hard it is.
Let it be hard.
Look at it as a good thing - that it's hard and be tougher than other people.
Because if it wasn't special, then it would be easy.
We don't want easy.
Just keep coming and doing your job."

"Everybody's role is really, really important."

"Be a star in your role."

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

💯 Bad teammates COMPLAIN about their role.

💯 Good Teammates ACCEPT their role.

💯 Great teammates STAR in their role.

GREAT TEAMS HAVE GREAT TEAMMATES!

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

BAD teams never talk.

AVERAGE teams talk when they're winning.

GOOD teams talk often.

GREAT teams never stop talking.

CHAMPIONSHIP teams always talk about talking more... in huddles, at halftime, in time outs.

What do Winning Programs do Differently?

A lot.

Here are 5 Things Found in Winning Programs.

1: High-Level Commitment
You cannot have a consistently high-performing program without a relentless consistency of commitment. Committed players WIN. Committed teams WIN. Each season, your leaders define the commitment level for your program. They need to set the standard.

2: Culture of Excellence
Winning programs have a “known“ culture. There is an expectation of excellence. Many things do not have to be said. However, team leaders, coaches, and other gatekeepers of the culture ALWAYS maintain the standard if it ever starts to slip.

3: Leadership Passed On
All winning programs have strong player leadership. This leadership is passed on from year to year. The leaders understand the impact of their legacy. They make sure future leaders know their impact. Coaches consistently develop their leaders.

4: Competitive Environment
Competition brings out the best in individuals and teams. Winning programs thrive on competition. Players know they have to “bring it” each and every day. This competitive atmosphere is a big reason they win consistently.

5: Tradition and Legacy
Finally, winning programs have a sense of tradition and legacy. We > Me. Players want to be part of something bigger than themselves. Players understand the tradition. They want to be part of the tradition. They want to leave their mark.
