"The standard creates the culture." @ChristianYelich When coaches enforce it, it's a rule. When players own it, it's a standard. When everyone lives it, it's a culture. Culture isn't built by what you preach. It's built by what you practice.

Winning doesn’t reduce the work. Losing doesn’t increase it. The next opportunity requires the same commitment to preparation either way. Don’t let success make you comfortable. Don’t let failure make you emotional. The result changes. The standard doesn’t.

Mike Tomlin said, "It's not what you're capable of. It's what you're willing to do. I know plenty of people who are capable, but few who are willing." You have to show up and do the work. It takes humility, hard work, and commitment.

The people around you quietly shape the person you're becoming. Pay attention to what fills the conversations you keep returning to. Some groups spend hours complaining. Others spend that same time sharing ideas, solving problems, and pushing each other higher. Choose wisely. It matters.

SUMMER WORKOUTS. I used to show my guys this clip in the preseason. You don’t need to be Drago to win. You need to be Rocky. Why? Drago had the best equipment in the world but he lacked the one thing you need. The will to win. Rocky had that. Do whatever it takes to win. Hard work always pays off! #GoTime

Michael Jordan breaks down the absolute true mindset of a champion. "First of all you got to believe in yourself. You got to have a passion. You got to put forth the work." "Discipline means you have to really decide on that you want to be a winner. And when someone tries to take you to go do things that's not focused on being a winner you have to be disciplined to say you know what, I got to stay to what I have to do." "For people who skip those steps and think they just show up on Sunday, I don't want nothing to do with them."

But real winners are the ones who get knocked down, take the hit, learn the lesson, and get back up when nobody would blame them for staying down. Life will test your faith. Keep fighting. Keep growing. Keep showing up. That’s a win.

“My parents raised me to never be a follower, always to be a leader. I feel like it’s something that has helped me grow as a person. I enjoy trying to set the table. I enjoy being able to lead by example and vocally as well. But, it’s the chemistry with my teammates that allows me to do so,” Jalen Brunson

“The ones that work hard without the promise of reward are the ones that usually succeed,” Matt Freese Winners know the standard matters more than the spotlight.

It starts with your character and what you do. It doesn't matter what you say - it matters what you are willing to do.

Fernando Mendoza on Tom Brady's advice to him and other #Raiders QBs: "As a QB you need to be the most everything. The most competitive, have the most leadership, be the toughest, mentally and physically. You got to embody all those things to lead by example before getting the equity and respect by your teammates in order to lead effectively. That really resonated with me." x.com/Raiders/status/2064025…

“Don’t compare yourself to others. Don’t compare your path to other people. Your path is your path and you’re just going to work as hard as you can. Not everyone is going to be pulled right to the top and given everything. You have to fight through adversity,” Jalen Brunson

Having winning habits every day makes all the difference.

Most teams want the trophy. But what does the trophy cost? Brent Venables nailed it. 🔥 Respect the jersey. Respect the routine. Respect the process. Nobody wins alone.

“You have to be process driven. You have to be competitive. You have to be striving to find the edge on a daily basis. You have to have consistency, performance, strong habits, discipline, commitment and a work ethic to be able to handle success and learn from failure,” Curt Cignetti
