"The absolute heart of loyalty is to value those people who tell you the truth, not just those who tell you what you want to hear. In fact, you should value them most. Because they have paid you the compliment of leveling with you and assuming you can handle it." (Pat Summitt)

5 Ways to Win Today:

1. Control what you can control.
2. Let go of what you can’t.
3. Replace fear with faith.
4. Speak truth to the lies.
5. Believe the best is yet to come.

When trying to build a winning team/organization it is important that leadership puts deep though to and knows it’s non-negotiables,. Equally important is that everyone in the organization knows them, understands them, and is willing to commit to them as well.

[Kevin Eastman @kevineastman]

The best teams and organizations have great communication skills and great listening skills. These both are founded on respect and understanding. Understanding that everyone is important and can contribute, and a respect for what everyone can bring and everyone can contribute!

[Kevin Eastman @kevineastman]

Personal growth comes down to a personal decision. No one can stop us from working on “what we can” to become better than “what we are.” The decisions must have equal parts — consistency of effort, curiosity to learn, and a drive to become what we are capable of becoming.

[Ralph Pim @KeepDrivinOn]

A team is headed toward success when its best players: 1. Are trustworthy. 2. Are the team’s hardest workers. 3. Are physically & mentally tough. 4. Want to be coached. 5. Are unselfish. 6. Make their teammates better.

Mental toughness doesn't guarantee you'll win. But playing without it pretty much guarantees you won't. – Tim Grover

"One thing I believe to the fullest is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves."

If we truly are the sum of our habits which ones do we need to build and which ones do we need to get rid of. The answers to these coupled with the disciplined work put in to accomplish them will end up being some of our most important work.

[Kevin Eastman @kevineastman]

Decision - Plan - Commit - Conviction! Make that decision that will allow you to make that change you have longed for. Then follow it with a plan to get there and give that plan your total conviction & commitment.

[Kevin Eastman @kevineastman]

When you’re around the best teams & individuals you understand why “attention to detail” and “commitment to consistency” is paramount. When the best go against the best it’s the execution of the little things and doing the little things all the time that become the difference.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Be great without being high maintenance. Show up on time, wear the right stuff, be coachable, support your teammates & give 100% every time you practice/play. High maintenance is hard. Coaches love low maintenance players who buy into the process. You’re what makes coaching fun!

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"If you love kids enough, you're going to discipline them. I can't imagine not disciplining kids; it would be then that I don't care." -Summitt
Discipline is a coach holding you to a higher standard than you hold yourself to. It's something your coach is doing for you NOT to you.

@LABCBasketball @CoachCabrera13 @TCCeaglesMBB One of the best!

[Kevin Eastman @kevineastman]

Mistakes ….. failure. They’ve happened to us all and to all those successful people you have read about as well. You can “beat your self up” with the past or set yourself up for the future by how you respond. Admit - learn - new plan - commit - grow.

[Kevin Eastman @kevineastman]

In building a true team the leader’s responsibility is to select the right people and talent. The teams responsibility: get to know each other, make each other better, think & play as one - not as individuals. Teams that do the right things usually beat those that do my thing.

[Kevin Eastman @kevineastman]

The biggest hurdle we have in building confidence is also the most important first step. To actually try. We’ll never know if we never attempt. Could we “fall short” as some might say or we might think - yes. But I don’t see it as “falling short”. I see it as “learning more”.

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

Players! You either put the work in or you don't! You either pound the weights or you don't! You either do the right thing off the field or you don't! You're either a great teammate or you're not! Either way, you're not fooling anyone...your teammates/coaches know!
