When you spend most of your time thinking about your burdens, you'll think your life is full of burdens.

When you spend most of your time thinking about your blessings, you'll think your life is full of blessings.

What you focus on is a choice.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Care about the work you do.
Care about why you do it.
Care about who you do it with.

Caring is a competitive advantage.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Negative people don't make teams better.
Negative people don't make relationships better.
Negative people don't make organizations better.
Negative people don't make the world better.

If you want to make things better, show up with hope, purpose, positivity.

You control you.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

It’s rarely your talent that is holding you back.

It’s often your mindset.

When you think better, you’ll get better.

The one with the most reasons is the one who will keep showing up, keep doing the work, keep fighting the battle.

When it’s not convenient, when you don’t feel like it, when it’s difficult, when doubt sets in, purpose keeps you going.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Are you looking for things to complain about or for things to celebrate?

You’ll find what you look for.

Perspective is everything. Perspective is a choice.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

The standard isn’t always convenient.

The standard is still the standard.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Competitive Joy is holding belief and humility together.

Believing you can become elite, while staying humble enough to show up and do the daily work.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

Real leadership is not choosing between caring and demanding.
It is doing both.
Love your people enough to support them and respect them enough to never lower the standard.

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

Be that person today!

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Be coachable
Be teachable
Be adaptable
Be humble
Be secure

Be good soil. 🌱

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

The words you speak shape the world around you but they also shape the world within you.

Every time you speak doubt, fear, or negativity you reinforce it in your mind.

The tongue has the power of life and death.

Speak life. Speak truth. Speak like it matters.

Because it does.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

If you’re in, be all in. If you’re out, be out.

It doesn’t help you or others to be lukewarm and give average effort every day.

Commit and move forward.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

We live in a drive thru culture that wants immediate results.

Growth isn't like that.
Culture isn't like that.
Progress isn’t like that.

There is no quick fix, hack or shortcut. It takes time, perseverance, patience, belief and a lot of work.

Keep showing up.

The strongest competitors don't have shorter memories.

They have more selective memories.
They remember lessons.
They release emotion.

[Callie Ebert @CallieEbert27]

Such a nice day to watch some pro softball and support Coach Goss as she coaches the Saint Louis Gateway Gold team! @RockUSoftball

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

Great coaches get the most out of their people because they invest the most in their people.
It's about RELATIONSHIP.
If an athlete knows that you really care and believes that you can make them better, they will buy in and do everything they can for you.

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

When the older players are willing to help the younger players every day, then you've got the right environment to build a winner.

One thing I've learned coaching PGA Tour Pros.

The best don't need less coaching as they improve.

They need different coaching.
Early on, they need answers.
Eventually, they need better systems to operate each day.

Rapid improvement quickly.
Incremental improvement over time.
