Sean McVay nailed leadership in one word:
Elevator.
Lift people up. Help them reach their potential. Make them better because you were part of their journey.
That’s leadership. 🔥

We always think there will be more time.
More practices.
More games.
More moments.
There won’t be.
Enjoy the one you’re in.👇
An hourglass is such a simple visual.
But man, the message behind it is powerful.
Wake Forest basketball opened practice with an hourglass sitting on the floor.
The reminder:
Your sand is moving.
This season will go faster than you think.
So embrace the hard.
Cherish the reps.
Enjoy the bus rides.
Appreciate the people.
Don’t wish it away.
And most importantly:
Be where your feet are.

You can’t correct what you won’t confront.
The great ones don’t run from bad film.
They study it.
Own it.
Fix it.
That’s growth. 👇

ICYMI:
There’s a big difference between talking about toughness and training toughness.
Hard moments are coming.
The job is to prepare people before they arrive.

Kobe has it right.
We make success way more complicated than it needs to be.
Why let doubt get in the way?
Just keep moving.
1. Put one foot in front of the other.
2. Control what you can control.
3. See what happens.
4. Learn and repeat.
That’s it.

Every coach wants more leadership.
Fewer want to teach it.
That’s the difference between teams that talk leadership and teams that live it.
The Team Leader OS provides you with the system to build player-led teams.

This is what every coach is trying to build.
A team where players protect the standard without being told.
Coaches can teach it.
Model it.
Reinforce it.
But culture changes when the players take ownership of it.

Culture isn’t something you build once.
You build it every day.
What you allow.
What you emphasize.
What you celebrate.
What you correct.
It all matters.
Culture is ALIVE.

Boats don’t sink because of the water around them.
They sink because of the water that gets inside.
Your culture works the same way. Outside noise isn’t your problem.
What are you letting in?

Coaches: One bad apple can spoil the bunch.
Set the tone early.
Coach Prime has dismissed a few Colorado football players from the team.
"A year ago, I didn't put my foot down in it enough. It lingered a little bit and then it imploded."
"I'm not doing that (again)." ⬇️

“I never take in any negativity.” - Dana White
I love this.
And that includes the way you talk to yourself.
Don’t keep telling yourself what you can’t do or who you’re not.
Your mind is listening.
Talk to yourself like someone you believe in.
.@danawhite says one of the keys to longevity is to block out all negativity:
“There's this Bruce Lee quote where he says, ‘Never say negative things about yourself or what you're working on even if you're joking, because your body doesn't know the difference.’”
“I never take in any negativity.
“It never even crosses my mind that something's not going to work. I just keep going until it does work.”
