Sean Miller shares a masterclass on living the standard. "If we keep working on improving and don't buy into anything outside this locker room, we have a chance to be a really good team." Then he got real about what he owes them: "The one thing that I owe myself, I owe Xavier, I owe you, I owe this team, is this: It's the standard." "It's the standard." Success starts with living the standard every day. The standard is how you operate every day. "I'm a passionate dude. I love the game. I wanna win badly. This shit keeps me up. I wanna win. I wanna have a group of guys that are getting better. I wanna have the peace of mind that we played a game hard in the right way." "And the standard is the standard. Not everybody's gonna like it all the time." "That's not my job - to please people. My job right here is to hold that fucking standard, and not ever, ever, ever give into it." It means setting high standards and then holding yourself and others to those standards. Then he made it clear what's in it for them: "When you guys raise your level and you meet the standard - that's your best opportunity. That's you. Your best opportunity to play good is to meet that standard." "This shit isn't easy." "The strong survive." The standard isn't punishment - it's a reminder to live a mindset of excellence every day. Great teams have high standards and they hold each other to those standards. Set the Standard. Live the Standard. Then raise the standard. To become the team you know you can be (🎥SeanMillerPod )
