The biggest threat to excellence is complacency. Everyone tells you to "stay hungry" and "work hard", but no one shows you how to actually fight it. Most people think it's just about effort - it's not. Here's how elite teams eliminate complacency and why it matters:🧵

Complacency doesn't announce itself. It creeps in through small compromises after you've had a few wins. Success breeds comfort. Comfort breeds carelessness. Carelessness erodes standards and what you've built. Here's how it shows up and what to do about it...

1. Maintain standards after success - Establish clear standards for yourself and your team. Bill Cowher said, "I pushed them to be as good as they can be." High standards aren't cruel, they're a sign that you care. • They bring consistency. • They prevent you from settling.

2: Focus on the process - Great coaches spotlight effort and improvement, not just results. Nick Saban said, "If what you're doing is not going to help them play better then you're not a very good coach." Focus on the process & actions that creates success, not just outcomes.

3: Call it out - When you notice complacency, address it. Eliminate it before it grows. Kara Lawson said, "Conflict is a pivotal part of a successful team." "You commit to one another, so, when there is conflict, you can move past it." Communicate it and course-correct.

4: Master the Fundamentals - Often, complacency is rooted in not focusing on the fundamentals. James Franklin said, "It's all the details. It's all the little things. It's finding a way to overcome adversity." Live the details to prevent mistakes and overlook what matters.

5: Make Growth Non-Negotiable - Bring a growth-mindset to everything you do. Ask yourself: "Did I grow today? Am I working to be my best?" Focus on how you can get better and it starts with what you do. Improvement prevents complacency because it drives growth.

Complacency erodes your discipline. Success hinges on consistently doing the work, while complacency lacks enthusiasm and is full of indifference. It affects your attitude and your actions. Just because you've had success before doesn't mean you're entitled to it again.

Kirby Smart calls it a "DISEASE" that creeps into your program. Dan Campbell won't tolerate it. This mindset is the enemy of hard work. It's the delusion of expectation without earning it. Here's how this mindset destroys teams and the 5 shifts that eliminate it:🧵

Goals and intentions are both aimed at changing the present, but there are differences between them. While goals focus on the future, intentions focus on the present and are lived daily. While goals are often vague and unspecific, intentions encourage thought and a planned change
