Your attitude and your effort are the only 2 things in the world you have 100% control over 100% of the time.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Seniors: Cherish your last HS team camps! There are only a few weeks of summer camp left & the time will go quick. Make sure you compete every second that you get to, cherish time with your teammates, take lots of pictures & make sure to enjoy it because you will miss these days!

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

You don’t lead because of your title.

You lead because people choose to follow you.

That’s not authority.
That’s influence.

Leadership is influence. Earn it daily.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

True leadership isn’t about power, authority, loyalty or control. It doesn’t use fear, create division, stir up chaos.

True leadership is about empowering, about serving, about earning trust. It leads with hope, it unites, it creates clarity.

True leadership moves us forward.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

You won’t be resilient without being in situations that demand resilience.
You won’t be patient without being in situations that demand patience.
You won’t be disciplined without being in situations that demand discipline.

The work isn't optional.

[Seth Kindig @SethKindig]

Most players don’t need another motivational speech.

They need clarity, ownership, and consistency.

Discipline:

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

Embrace the boredom of consistency.

"When you're building championship habits, it's very boring and it's very meticulous.
And, it is frustrating at times, but it never changes.
We continue to do what we do, continue to build those habits and nothing changes."

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Sometimes you need to play as if you have nothing to lose. Play loose, be aggressive, take risks, and go all out! This mindset can help you play your best and defeat superior opponents.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

You are right. It’s not fair. Fair is a comparison.

Stop comparing & start competing! Don’t worry about “fair”. Worry about being competitive!

In competition you:
Put in the work
Fail
Overcome
Get better
Earn the spot
Get the spot
The proof is in the play

You want it? EARN IT!

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

The trajectory of your team won’t change until their habits change. But the habits won’t change until the culture changes. And the culture won't change until your leadership changes.

Leadership ➡️ Culture ➡️Habits ➡️ Direction

Make your leadership a priority.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

To perform well under pressure, you need to forget about winning and losing, and just focus on giving your best effort and having fun in the present moment!

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

The best want to be coached.
The best want feedback.
The best want to be challenged.
The best want critique.
The best want accountability.
The best want correction?

Why?

The best want to get better.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Character is formed in the dark.
Mindset is formed in the dark.
Commitment is formed in the dark.
Greatness is formed in the dark.
Skill is formed in the dark.

You get better when nobody is watching. Prepare for the moment so you’re prepared in the moment.

Do the work.

It’s ok to be nervous before games. It means you’re motivated, and it's this motivation that can drive you to succeed despite being nervous.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

If you want your team to be calm under pressure, you must be calm under pressure.
If you want your team to be consistent, you must be consistent.
If you want your team to be accountable, you must be accountable.

Live the standard, no excuses.
Lead yourself first.

When you're unhappy with your current situation, you have three choices:
One, improve your attitude.
Two, make changes to your situation.
Or three, do nothing and remain unhappy.
