A mindfulness practice enhances performance and well-being. Here's another benefit: When Andy Bernard was making his final exit on the office, he said, "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them." Mindfulness can do that too!.

Winning and losing are outcomes of a process (a complex and dynamic mix of preparation, mindset, execution, and reflection). It is how you train, think, compete, and grow. It’s what you control—and what truly drives success. Learn more about developing a process! @rustindodd.

Private equity for youth sports, what could go wrong? The risks include commodifying children, marginalizing underserved communities, and the continued shift from character-building and fun to profit-driven performance pipelines.

Culture matters because it shapes how people show up—especially when things get hard.

Chasing goals matters, but living your values is what lasts. We rarely regret missed wins—more often, we regret not showing courage, generosity, or integrity. In coaching, real success is shaping character and staying true to what matters @AdamMGrant .

Coaches, don’t hide your emotions but use them wisely!Stay composed during tough moments—bad calls, poor play - you set the emotional tone for the team. Players take cues from their coach, and if the coach stays calm, it helps athletes stay focused, resilient, and in control.

Culture shows up in how players (even rivals!) respond after a tough loss. It isn’t the slogan on a t-shirt or a catchy line in the locker room. It’s what your team actually lives, especially when things are hard. It's how we respond when tested.

Gregg Popovich coached the whole person. He created an environment where elite performance and human growth were not in competition—but in partnership. That’s why players wanted to play for him, grow under him, and win with him.

Being open-minded and willing to learn can be frightening and humbling. Why? The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know.

Athletic departments that foster environments that support optimal performance and well-being for athletes and coaches can do great things. Congrats @NanCarneyDeBord !.
