Learn to appreciate the journey, even the parts you didn't plan for. Sometimes the detours teach you more than the destination ever could. Don't rush through a season that is developing you.

Jeff absolutely crushed the Atlanta, St Louis and Colorado events for us this year.
Being able to put these events on at the level that cares for the players, teams and recruiters all at once is a special skill. Grateful for his work!!!!
And thats a wrap for the 2026 Jamborees. Thank you to all the coaches,players, synergy , facilities, staff, fans , athletics trainers, scorekeepers, referees for helping us run these successful events. Best of luck on your upcoming seasons. @JUCOadvocate @VerbalCommits

Ben McCollum shares what it feels like to be around first-place people and a first-place culture.
"I went to Northwest Missouri State, and my first practice with Steve Tapmeyer - best coach I've ever been around - I sat there and I'm like, 'This is what first place feels like. This is what a first-place culture feels like. This is what first-place people feel like.'"
That was the wake-up call. He realized what first-place people have:
"They've got an extreme work ethic. They've got an edge to 'em that other people don't - a competitive spirit."
Then he quoted John Thompson:
"You can tame a fool a lot quicker than you can resurrect a corpse...We want guys with a little edge to 'em."
You can coach skills, but you can't coach competitive spirit. You don't want to consistently coach their effort and attitude.
The last thing they look for: Energy givers.
"Over the years, we found that guys that are moody don't make it in our program."
"If you're moody, if you have low energy, if you suck the life out of the building - you don't make it."
Talent isn't enough. Your energy matters. Your attitude matters.
Successful people have a competitive edge, they bring energy, and they look to consistently get better.
They raise the standard through what they do.

Erik Spoelstra says one of the quickest ways to turn a group of strangers into a team is also one of the riskiest
“Going through some of those struggles, I really do believe it developed that toughness. It developed a grit. It developed our ability to not make excuses and find a stronger bond and path that led us to some success.”
“If we didn’t go through that, I don’t know necessarily if we would have had the mental toughness or if this group would have really connected.”
“You’re talking about something that’s really challenging to do, bring a bunch of strangers together and form a sense of community and team and family as quickly as you possibly can.”
“Probably one of the quickest ways to do it, and probably one of the more risky ways to do it, is: here’s some adversity. How do you deal with that?”
“Now, the flip side of that is it’s also the easiest way to go your separate ways. So it’s a fine balance. But I think it did ultimately help us for that stretch run.”
