Nick Saban nailed it. - Entitlement gets you nothing. - Excuses get you nothing. - Lack of effort gets you nothing. Show up. Lock in. Do the work. “No Deposit - No Return.”

Culture isn't what you say - it's what you allow. • Allow excuses? You'll get more. • Allow bad attitudes? They will spread. • Allow selfishness? Team chemistry will disappear. Great leaders set the standard. Culture happens every day - on purpose or by accident.

Winners own mistakes. Losers point fingers. “Don’t be a blame guy. That’s the first sign of loser mentality when you blame someone else for a mistake,” - Kirby Smart 🥇 On great teams, accountability isn’t optional.

Being a great teammate means you are just as happy about your teammate's success as you are your own success. Great teams have great teammates.

Yelling at, or worse, assaulting umpires and officials isn’t passion; it’s poor sportsmanship. Respect the game. Respect the people who make it possible. #SportsmanshipMatters @MECSDSpartans
Things took a turn this past weekend when a long-time umpire was assaulted in the parking lot by a spectator who was upset about the official's calls.

Culture starts with me. Not with slogans on the wall. Not with what others do. With how I show up, today. A better me means a better we. Because when I lead myself well, I raise the standard for everyone around me. Leadership isn’t a title. It’s a decision.

Tough teams do 3 things better than everyone else: 1. They communicate 2. They hold each other accountable 3. They keep showing up, no matter what It’s not just a mindset. It’s your standard.

A golden rule for coaches and players. When talking about the team, always use words like: - Us - Our - We Do not use words like: - Me - My - I Too many still talk in terms of individual glory or individual ownership. It is a team game. Always speak as a team.

Brad Stevens said, "You have a choice to make when you're not playing. Either you're invested and a great teammate or you're not." You choose to be a great teammate through your actions. • It means commit. • It means invest in others. • It means ownership and responsibility.
