You can't want:
more playing time
a bigger role
leadership responsibilities
championships
to play at the next level
If you don't want:
to work hard
to make sacrifices
to discipline yourself
to be coached
to be held accountable
Wants come with requirements.
Winning requires very little.
It requires mastering the little things.
It requires doing a little extra.
It requires a little more of your time.
It requires a little resilience.
It requires a little more of your focus.
All of the little stuff amounts to a lot of success.
Don’t disappear when it gets difficult.
Don’t disappear when it gets inconvenient.
Don’t disappear when it gets uncomfortable.
These are the moments of growth.
If you want to get better, show up.
Do the work.
Your culture is not the highest standard you preach, it is the lowest standard you allow.
Preach the standard, live the standard, hold others accountable to the standard.
Everyone has the ability to evolve.
Everyone has the ability to learn new ways to relate.
Everyone has the ability to have uncomfortable conversations.
That's the gift of being human.
Nobody is stopping you from being kind.
Nobody is stopping you from being positive.
Nobody is stopping you from being confident.
Nobody is stopping you from getting better.
Show up on purpose.
Action > Excuses
If you have a coach, teacher, parent or mentor who holds you accountable you are blessed.
Too many leaders shy away from confrontation and accept low standards with minimal expectations.
If someone pushes you for greatness you have someone who truly cares about you & loves you.
"They aren’t your values if you only live them when it’s easy. It’s not the standard if you only live it every now and then. Be who you say you are. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about being consistent.
