“We have what it takes to win but understand we’re not going to get there without guys feeling like their best selves. Knowing the difference when we’re connected and when we’re splintered. We’re not being there for each other enough or touching each other enough enough in our…

Champions don’t settle for yesterday’s excellence they relentlessly chase improvement day in and day out.

'People always say 'you have a great image'
Image...there is no image.
It's character.
Character is who you are.
Image is who you want everyone else to see you as.
I don't care what my image is.
I want to have good character.'

“We’ve got a real old school culture here of accountability. I’m an old school coach in terms of the tone I take with my players in practice, the expectations with effort. The focus on winning and we over me,” Dan Hurley

Standards, habits and accountability produce winners.

Before good teams can become great teams, they have to win the 'race to maturity'.

'Maturity is when doing what you have to do becomes what you want to do.' P.J. Fleck

Leaders aren’t afraid to hold people accountable to standards that build winners.

'You don't really own a rule.
You obey them, disobey them, or someone imposes them on you.
But a standard, it's the way you live all the time.
And, you hold other people accountable for them.'

Average teams have rules.
Great teams have standards
Set the standard not the rules.

'You need to work as hard to be a great teammate as you do to be a great player.' Jon Gordon

'He is the best basketball player in the world, and he is the most selfless, humble dude that you will ever meet. If the 3x MVP can do it, I can do it too.' -Aaron Gordon

Confidence emerges from meticulous preparation, disciplined effort and composure.
A confident and relentless competitor conquers adversity with precise execution. Confident athletes are victorious through actions not words.

'Every team trains.
Every team lifts.
Every team conditions.
Every team practices.

It's not that you do those things.
It's at what standards you do those things that make the difference.' Jeff Janssen

'Ego says 'I can do no wrong', whereas confidence says 'I can get this right.'
Confidence says 'I’m valuable' while ego says 'I’m invaluable.”-Todd Henry
Ego is artificial
Confidence is earned
Ego expects the outcome
Confidence earns the outcome
Starve ego
Feed confidence

“Winning is a lifestyle for us. We really enjoy it, like it’s really good when you’re winning. Everybody’s happy, everybody wants to play, everybody is buying into the system. Winning is a lifestyle,” Nikola Jokic

Winners make winning a part of life.

Winners make a difference.

'The real MVPs'
Thank you to all the mothers for your endless love and immeasurable sacrifices.
You've devoted yourselves to molding our futures and supporting our aspirations.
You give so much of yourself, so we can become more.
Happy Mother's Day

“Mediocre people don’t like high achievers. High achievers don’t like mediocre people. If everybody doesn’t buy into the same principles and values at the same high standard, you’re never going to be successful. Get the right guys on the bus and get the wrong guys off,” Nick…

You can't want:
- more playing time
- a bigger role
- leadership responsibilities
- championships
- to play at the next level

If you don't want:
- to work hard
- to make sacrifices
- to discipline yourself
- to be coached
- to be held accountable

Wants come with requirements.

“It’s a process, it’s not supposed to be easy but that’s the fun part about it,” Jayson Tatum

You will never succeed more than you fail. Failure is part of the process. Learning to love the process is what builds winners.

Standards > Rules.

Standards, not rules, are what build winning teams.

Winning teams are built on raising the bar and surpassing expectations.

Embrace the challenge and strive for greatness.

'You're chipping away at what's in the way.
What's in the way for athletes:
1. Fear of failure, fear of not being perfect, fear of making a mistake
2. Inability to handle adversity
3. Lack of routines
4. Lack of self-discipline'  Brandon Guyer - Major League Mindset
