When athletes play for the team, not the spotlight, magic happens.
Success is not about individual glory; it's about collective achievement.
It's not about who stands out; it's about who stands together.

Mental strength isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being resilient.
Everyone makes mistakes, but the toughest players have a refusal to lose enthusiasm or quit in response to challenges.
Have the mentality that you’re never down, you’re either up or getting up.
Great teammates don't protect each other when someone's out of line. Great teammates protect the culture because they realize no one is bigger than the team.

GET THE RIGHT GUYS ON THE BUS!
"Mediocre people don’t like high achievers and high achievers don’t like mediocre people ... Get the right guys on the bus, get them in the right seats, and get the wrong guys off the bus."

“I make sure that I’m on time to the gym. I get there early. I make sure I’m the most coachable. That shows I am accountable for myself, now I can hold other guys accountable.”

TEAM CAPTAINS: Leadership is more than a title, position, status, talent, or having a "C" next to your name. Leadership is an action that moves your team forward. A leader helps their teammates to be their best. A leader makes others better. A leader is a positive influence.
Be responsible for your team's C.U.L.T.U.R.E.
C - Commitment to excellence
U - Unity and teamwork
L - Leadership that inspires & serves others
T - Trust & respect for each other
U - Understanding of individual roles
R - Resilience & perseverance
E - Effort & energy every day
"Success is a result of consistent practice of winning skills and actions. There is nothing miraculous about the process. There is no luck involved." - Bill Russell
