Herm Edwards – “The leader has to be the calmest guy on the ship.”
Tom Coughlin – “Coaching is making players do what they don’t want to do so that they can become what they want to become.”
Jim Valvano“To me, there are three things everyone should do every day. Number one is to laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is to think-spend some time in thought. Number 3, let your emotions move you to tears. If you laugh, think and cry, that’s one heck of a day.”
Be a Successful Failure The successful entrepreneur has averaged 4 business failures in his lifetime. According to leadership expert John Maxwell, "Failure is the price you pay for success." The key is to fail well...meaning you learn from your mistakes. It’s no different when our team loses a game. Are you a successful failure? Or does your pride in not admitting your shortcomings build a wall between our team? The best thing we can do for our team is to get ready for the next game. The idea is not to have a perfect team but a learning team. And that can only start by admitting mistakes.
