“It's about winning habits. It's about creating a winning environment. You create an environment where losing isn’t acceptable…. it shouldn’t be comfortable in the building, it should be everybody on their P’s & Q’s feeling pressure to be great."
“Anybody that's gonna push you loves you more than anybody that's gonna let you stay the same."
"When we coach you, when we love you up…that's not me personally attacking you. That's trying to help our team be better. That's trying to help you be better.”

Houston HC Kelvin Sampson - Why Coaches Fail
- "I think the coaches that fail at every level, are the coaches that are passive aggressive. Passing aggressive coaches are usually afraid to hold kids accountable, they rationalize."
- "If you're going to build a culture, the first thing you have to come to grips with, you're going to have confrontation."
- Consistency
- Competence
- Confidence
- Confrontation
The past already happened.
Stop spending energy there.
Refocus on the next play and control the only two things that are always yours:
your effort and your attitude.
Kobe on Excellence.
Excellence is a way of life. It is a Habit.
The great ones are committed to the process. They work to create winning habits each and every day. These habits become who they are.
Excellence follows.

Nick Saban explains one of the biggest threats to continued success.
"Success is not continuous. Just because you're having success doesn't mean you're going to continue to have success."
Past success guarantees nothing. You have to earn it every day.
"When you have complacency and you get satisfied, it creates a blatant disregard for doing the right things."
And here's the danger:
"You start to resent the very things that got you where you were."
You can't resent the process. Success starts with showing up, doing the work, and living the details.
"We pride ourselves in hard work. 'I resent that. I resent the hard work that you're making us do. Why are we running sprints?' Well, we always ran them. This is exactly what we did last year on this day. 'Well, I don't think we need to do that anymore.'"
Complacency is the enemy of excellence.
You combat it with a mindset of growth - never satisfied and always earning.

New #Browns HC Todd Monken with a great message:
"I think you have to hold the players accountable for what they say their dreams and aspirations are. ... And all you’re doing is holding them to their goals and aspirations, like people did for me. I am who I am because my parents did that for me. They didn’t do that to me — they did that for me. ... I think everybody likes honesty until they don’t like what’s said to them honestly. And I’m the same way — I’m no different. I like being stroked in a good way. I don’t like the other side of it. But that’s how I’ve gotten a lot better. And the people that love you the most, they’re going to be honest with you."
“I'm a firm believer that the culture of your program is established and reinforced in the weight room. — Tough teams win. Tough people win in this game.”
- Jon Sumrall
“ I’ve embraced the idea that myself and players can have different personalities but what we can’t have is different mindsets,” Mike Vrabel
Culture doesn’t negotiate with mindset.
LA Rams HC Sean McVay - Creating a Vision For Your Team
- "You show me a great organization/team, I'll show you an organization/team that a trademark of that they do at a high level is they communicate really well."
- "How can we be the best communicators in the world both visually & verbally. That's not exclusive to the hand signals, that's with the body language & our responses."
- "I tell our players all the time, I see better than I hear. And you can really see when you flip the film on, what kind of energy are we really using from one another."
- "I think there's just got to be a joy in it. You can never be stressed and joyful at the same time. So let's go have an authentic joy & zest for the opportunity to compete."

“It takes a little bit of insanity to be the best in the world.
Because you need to be insane to believe that you’re the best in the world. The world is big.
Only a few elite people [when they walk] to world championships go, "I’m the best in the world".”
