Mike Elko said, "When you get into this moment, you can’t just want it."
"You've got to pay a price to earn it." Success is earned not given.
• It's earned through hard work.
• It's earned through sacrifice.
• It's earned through daily commitment.
Peyton Manning shares what separated the best leaders he played with.
"The best teams I played on - our best players practiced the hardest every day. They set the example every day."
"They were sitting in meetings, taking notes, paying attention. Our young players are like, 'Holy cow - this is how they do it here. I'm gonna take notes. I'm gonna pay attention.'"
Culture is caught, not taught.
The best players lead by example. They set the standard and everyone else rises to meet it.
"When we got on the practice field - full speed. Taking snaps full speed. Walk-throughs. Everybody's intense. Calling audibles like it's a game."
"Talented players that are unselfish and set the example in the building as to what it's gonna take - that's critical."
The best players don't just perform on game day.
They set the standard every single day in the building.
That's how culture gets built.
