Here’s the deal. 👏
• When “climate scientists” stop flying to attend conferences overseas,
• When politicians and celebrities stop flying in private jets to collect environmental stewardship awards, or buying oceanfront properties, and,
• When everyone demanding that we the peasants decrease our carbon footprint and decides to go live off-grid with no electricity, no WiFi, no running water and no plumbing,
I then, and only then, will be convinced that there is a “climate emergency” that we should be worried about.
Demanding that I pay more for gasoline, more for electricity, stop eating red meat and purchasing “carbon credits” will not have any measurable effect on weather conditions 100 years from now.
You cannot reach into my wallet, take my money, and promise to use that to set a thermostat on the planet.
💥 Happy New Year everyone!! 🥳

Some things are believed because they are demonstrably true. But many other things are believed simply because they have been asserted repeatedly—and repetition has been accepted as a substitute for evidence.

"Anyone can be average. What separates people? People that are willing to work every day. People that are willing to do things that aren't fun. People that are willing to look at their weaknesses, then try and commit to a way to make their weaknesses strengths." (Pat Summitt)

Why do Teams WIN? 🏆
“Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all-time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.” - V. Lombardi
5 Reasons Teams WIN:
1: Strong Leadership
Winning teams have outstanding leadership. Both Player Leadership ad Coach Leadership. Leaders set clear goals, communicate effectively, and make tough decisions when needed. Strong leaders create a ➕ team culture and hold teammates accountable.
2: Culture of WE
Teams that WIN have a WE > ME mindset in their team culture. They are TEAM first. They are connected. Roles are clearly defined, accepted, and athletes excel in their roles.
3: Talent and Skills
Winning teams have "enough" talent. They need defined roles. Each team member brings their unique strengths to the table. Together they form a cohesive unit that can accomplish great things. They combine their talent with a WE > ME Mindset.
4: Resilience and Adaptability
Teams that win are resilient. They can adapt in the face of challenges. They can bounce back from setbacks and learn from failures. This is shown through toughness and grit.
5: Commitment
Winning teams put in the hard work and dedication required to achieve their goals. They are committed to their mission. A team that is motivated and focused can achieve great things and WIN.

PLAYERS - Coaches won't take you seriously if:
❌You only do the required
❌You goof off
❌You show up late
❌You make excuses
❌Your effort fluctuates
❌You care about yourself more than the team
❌You mentally & physically check out when struggling

You can’t be negative after making mistakes in games, but you can’t be indifferent either. Be motivated to correct your mistakes and play better, but stay calm and positive at the same time.

Don’t ever waste time on those who don’t understand your competitive spirit. It’s part of who you are. Don’t shut down your inner drive to make others feel better about themselves. That only hurts you. Those who understand it, don’t need an apology. Those who don’t, never will!

Games are won in the months and years before.

PARENTS:
When you're constantly blaming umpires, coaches, conditions, other kids on the team, for whatever situation your kid is in...Let’s just be brutally honest...You're basically showing & encouraging them how to be great at making excuses!!
‼️Please STOP 🛑‼️

"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.

PLAYERS: When coaches don't play you, they aren't necessarily "disrespecting" you or "hating" on you. They might be showing respect to your team. Good coaches play the players that make up the best team and who are the most trusted team members. Become that kind of teammate.
