“We spend a lot of time focusing on the parents. Are they going to be fans of their son or parents? Are they going to hold them accountable? Have an expectation that when something goes wrong, that it’s not the coach’s fault. Their son has to work harder, do more, earn his role,” Dan Hurley
The role of a parent makes a difference in building a TEAM culture.

A team with an unhealthy culture crumbles under pressure. A team with a healthy culture isn't impacted by pressure - they trust each other, believe in the vision and know their role.
Culture will either work for you or against you. Make it a priority.

In a culture where there are no consequences for standards that have been violated, they become nothing more than words. For trust to be gained, there needs to be action behind the words.

Culture is transmitted through the conversations & interactions that take place every day. If culture is weak, people gossip & complain about the work environment. If culture is strong, conversations are a source of positive energy, disciplined execution, & problem-solving.

"Show me a guy that's not humble & I'll show you a guy that's getting ready to be humbled. For a lot of people, they could care less if we win. It's about if a guy is getting his stats. The team with humility usually wins. They're willing to do those things that it takes to win."

"What are your habits when things get tough? We practice to create habits that will make us successful in the most difficult situations."
Make daily deposits in practice of effort, fortitude, & execution. Then, during the game, you're ready to make a 'withdrawal' when it counts.

Selflessness is what makes a team - a team. Self awareness is what makes an individual have a better shot at becoming a great teammate. Awareness of their skill set - physical & mental - and how it best fits into the team and for the team.

Most coaches/leaders can tell someone what they did wrong. Many can tell them what to do to fix it. But the best ones will help the individual understand what went wrong, why it went wrong, how to fix it, and continue working with them as they work to improve it.

You're responsible for everything you do, say, think, and feel. There's great power in realizing that's the truth because now you have no excuses. It's what you do every day. It's making good decisions. All those little things make the difference in the long run.
