“Negative experiences without teaching kill morale.”
This is such an important coaching lesson.
Players are going to fail. They are going to make mistakes.
The question: What do we do with it?

44 years ago today, Pat Summerall and John Madden called a Division-III college football game.
Wittenberg vs. Baldwin-Wallace
October 3, 1982
During the fall of '82, in the second week of the NFLPA's 57-day players' strike, CBS needed to get creative with its Sunday afternoon programming.
So on October 3, the network sent its top NFL broadcast team of Pat Summerall and John Madden to Springfield, Ohio to call Division-III Wittenberg's game against its rival Baldwin-Wallace — each school with an enrollment then of about 2,000 students.
Three other NFL on CBS broadcast teams were also assigned to call Division-III games that weekend.
Wittenberg, Baldwin-Wallace, and the Ohio Athletic Conference were each paid $10,000 for the game.
The video includes the CBS open and pregame introduction by Pat and John, the first several minutes of the game, and select highlights from this historic CBS broadcast.
A very rare and fascinating telecast — and quite a thrill for those players, coaches, students, and communities.

Titles can identify captains. But they can’t create leaders.
I love this from Marcus Freeman:
“We have a whole bunch of guys who are going to choose to lead. They don’t need a title to lead.”
That’s what great teams need.
Not 2 or 3 captains doing all the leading.
A locker room full of people willing to speak up.
Hold the standard.
Bring energy.
Help a teammate.
Do the right thing when nobody is watching.
Too many players wait for permission to lead.
They think they need a “C” on their jersey, need to be a senior, or need the coach to name them something.
You don’t.
Leadership isn’t a position you’re given.
It’s a choice you make.
Every single day. 👇

Urban Meyer shares a message everyone needs to hear - average is not acceptable.
"It's so easy to be average. You know it as well as I know it."
"It takes a little something to be special. It takes a little something special to be a great player."
Then he made the standard clear: "We don't have enough great players. To hell with that!...We don't wanna coach average. I don't wanna be around you. Why be around average?"
Average is comfortable.
It's safe and it's not looking to compete.
"Did you push yourself to be great today? Did you do it? If you didn't do it, you lost a day. We ain't got many days to lose."
Every day you don't push yourself is a day you can't get back. Bring a mindset of excellence to everything you do.
"And if there's a touch of greatness in there, how cool would that be?"
The question isn't whether you have greatness in you. It's whether you're willing to work to find it.
Show up, do the work, and compete.

Jim Harbaugh reveals his dad gave him a phrase at 6 years old that he still lives by and uses today to stay grateful in times of adversity
“Things that I thought maybe I figured out for myself, I later realized were just things that they had told me earlier that I didn’t quite hear well enough at the time.”
“Attack each day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. I first heard that when I was six years old. My dad’s dropping myself and my brother John off at school. ‘Okay boys, grab your lunch boxes and attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Can’t take any wooden nickels. Okay, get going.’”
“‘Dad, where’s the car?’ ‘No car today, boys. We’re walking. Grab a basketball. Get 100 with the right, 100 with the left.’ ‘Who’s got it better than us?’ ... ‘Nobody, Dad. Nobody.’”
“Playing catch with us and believing in us, those are the things that stick with me the most.”

"There are two kinds of pain in life:
1. The Pain of Commitment
2. The Pain of Regret
Which kind of pain do you want to undergo?"
