Studies show that 92% of what we worry about never ends up happening. Worry is wasted energy. Worry is a distraction. Worry holds you back. Worry prevents you from bringing your best. Show up with confidence, with hope, with purpose.

If I'm hiring a coach, I'm hiring a culture builder. Every coach knows the game but can they connect, communicate a clear vision, recruit/develop people well, multiply their leadership? They can climb but can they get others up the mountain? Culture is the competitive advantage.

Before it’s a habit, it’s uncomfortable. Before it’s a habit, it’s inconvenient. Before it’s a habit, you’re bad at it. Before it’s a habit, it’s an obstacle. Before it’s a habit, it’s frustrating. Before it’s a habit, it’s difficult. Keep showing up. 🪵🪓

Great teams pass on toxic talent. Talent that, under stress, become coach killers, program killers, culture killers. Part of building a great culture is protecting that culture by who you let in. Talent matters but character is the difference maker.

Farmers don't dig up their seeds to see if they are growing. They keep doing the work, cultivating, trusting the process, preparing for the harvest. Growth takes time. Results take time. Be patient, be persistent, do the work, focus on your habits, be ready for the harvest. 🪵🪓

Jeter: “It’s a challenge to get your guys to talk about themselves. They come up here and only talk about their teammates. All they care about is the team and winning on the field.” Bochy: “That’s how you win.” Relationships ➡️ Culture ➡️ Performance

Depression is a dark and powerful thing. There's no shame in admitting your pain. Your life matters. You are needed. Please tell somebody.

Culture isn’t built in a day. Success isn’t built in a day. Mindset isn’t built in a day. Habits aren’t built in a day. Greatness isn’t built in a day. The foundation isn’t built in a day. It’s built one day at a time. Keep showing up. Keep doing the work. 🪵🪓

Your effort is a choice. Your attitude is a choice. Your actions are a choice. Your communication is a choice. Your leadership is a choice. Your level of belief is a choice. Your commitment is a choice. Getting better starts with making better choices. Take ownership.
