When the best players are the hardest workers at practice, it can be one of the most prominent team builders. One of the biggest team destroyers: When the most talented players are lazy and uncommitted.

Every team starts as a group of individuals. The great ones make the shift. From stats to standards. From ego to effort. From me to we. That’s when everything changes.

“We can’t play my turn basketball” Being unselfish is such a valuable skill and all it takes is a willingness to pass the ball

Bill Belichick said, "I don’t know how you can improve unless you can accept constructive criticism." "I can’t put you in the game if you don’t know consistently what to do." It means humility and consistency. That's where growth starts👇 (@NFLFilms) https://t.co/FocD9RRpdN

There is a lesson to be learned in every move you make and in every L you take. Challenges are always a plenty, but train yourself to be better prepared for the moment when it arrives again. Train yourself to Hold Your Own.
