It means humility.
Growth only comes from learning, improving, and adapting.
It means be open to feedback and admitting you can improve.

“A champion is build on the other side of I don’t feel like it.
A winner and a loser have the same goals when they first start.
But, somewhere along the journey, we are all not going to feel like it.
And, it’s in those moments where character is shown.” @inkyjohnson

"Every team trains.
Every team lifts.
Every team conditions.
Every team practices.
It's not that you do those things.
It's at what standards you do those things that make the difference." @janssenleader

Be highly selective about who you keep around you!
Do not allow anyone into your circle that is not in direct alignment with what you believe and who you are becoming!

“You must hold people ACCOUNTABLE. You’re not always going to be the most popular. If you want to WIN, sometimes you have to have a difficult conversation with people. You know they're not going to like you. But you do it because you want what's best for the TEAM.” Carla Overbeck

PLAYERS: It's hard to hold your teammates accountable if you are not holding yourself accountable. Do what's right. Set the standard. Be the standard. Don't just tell teammates what to do, but show them how it's done.

"Mediocre people don’t like high achievers and high achievers don’t like mediocre people ... Get the right guys on the bus, get them in the right seats, and get the wrong guys off the bus."

PLAYERS: When you're on the bench, you never know when Coach will put you into the game. It is important to be an active observer, stay mentally (and physically) ready, and learn as much as you can by watching. Don't make mistakes that a teammate might have previously made.
