@clharrington024 @eduleadership I taught for 12 years before going into admin. 25 yrs as principal…I credit my success as an administrator on the foundation of my experience as a classroom teacher. I rarely had difficulty earning the respect of my staff and community for the same reason.

“To believe in yourself, to believe in one another, that’s fundamental to being alive. If you can do that, if you can truly do that, can’t nobody rip that apart.” @TedLasso

Teams are not just built on skills and talent, they’re built on the foundation of belief and trust.

[Brian Kight @BrianKight]

"Every team wants to win a championship, but not every team wants to do the things required for a championship.

And here's the thing: it's easy to be an average team. It doesn't require a lot. It's less adversity to be average in the world.

The consequences of being average aren't easy. We end up wearing them. There's strain and struggle that comes with that too.

The standard is just lower to be an average team.

To be a championship team, to be champion, to be a championship team member here . . . I'm not gonna lie to you . . . I'm going to tell you the truth.

It is harder. It is. The question is: Is it worth it?

Some people say, "Oh it's not harder work." Yes it is. It's harder work.

You can pursue comfort or you can pursue excellence. If we pursue comfort, we gotta give up some excellence.

But if we pursue excellence, then we're just going to face more adversity. Everyone who's ever accomplished something excellence has had to overcome it.

We are here today for a reason. Two reasons actually.

Reason #1 is let's make sure that we identify and realize the opportunities that are in front of us.

Reason #2 is let's make sure that we are preparing for the adversity that those opportunities require.

And just understand: every single time you lever up your opportunities and you identify, "Oh there's something more I can do, more I can achieve. I can get better. I can earn more. I can do this."

It's going to be matched with the adversity that comes with it.

I want to make sure we are prepared for both of those, so that we're not chasing big opportunities and then getting mad when things start getting harder along the way.

Is that fair? Does that make sense?"

Becoming the best version of yourself starts with getting better today, tomorrow, and the next day. Don't worry about the "best" or comparing yourself to others... just focus on "getting better" every day.

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

Kobe Bryant worked like he had no talent, then he played like he believed he was the best player in the world. Prepare with humility; perform with confidence.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

No excuses. Just execution.
Discipline fuels the fire of champions.
It's the unwavering commitment to training, the sacrifice of comfort for greatness, and the relentless pursuit of improvement.
It's the difference between good and great.

PLAYERS: A bad coach doesn't make you have a bad attitude. Likewise, a good coach doesn't make you have a good attitude. Only you can choose your attitude. Circumstances may make things harder or easier but not impossible or automatic. Your attitude shouldn't be situational.
