🚨Badminton Champions!🚨 Congratulations to our 3rd Period and 5th Period tournament winners! 🏸 OSD Athletics, Physical Education and Health Oceanside School District #OSD_NY

Congratulations on a great season. Setting the foundation for a bright future. When you focus on the Process and development on creating a consistent approach to positive daily habits great things can be achieved.

John Wooden said, "Don't whine, don't complain, don't make excuses. You get out there and whatever you're doing, do it to the best of your ability. No one can do more than that." It means owning your effort and not letting excuses hold you back. Focus on what you can control.

"Great leaders are not askers. They're demanders. They're lovers, they're carers, they share...but they hold their players accountable."

Super proud of this team for their hard work everyday and for finishing the season with a huge win yesterday! ⚽️ Oceanside MS OSD Athletics, Physical Education and Health

"It was never anybody imposing 'my rule' on somebody. It was all of us imposing and living our standards." Success isn't just about individual accountability. It's also about shared accountability-working together to achieve our goals and holding each other to a higher standard.

Your ceiling is what you’re capable of, but your floor is who you really are.  True greatness isn’t just about peaks—it’s about raising your floor so even on your off days, you’re still elite.

“What you can control is your process. You control the work ethic, the consistent discipline, your attitude, your culture, how much you care,” Tom Brady Winners don’t make excuses for their performance because they believe in their daily commitment to the process.

Gratitude is a competitive advantage.

“I’m sorry.” “My bad.” “It wasn’t my fault.” Own it. Do the work!!!

“I enjoy teaching. I don’t get caught up too much in all the stats, all the records and that stuff. You can’t put in the hours that we do and not enjoy it,” Andy Reid Great coaches know the true reward is found in the small, meaningful moments that transcend people.

Tony Dungy said, "If you only coach that person on the field and you only make them a better player, you've really missed a great opportunity." Great coaches coach character. They focus on developing people. Because character outlasts talent, stats, and wins.

"I want to see you practice. Anybody can put together a highlight tape. I want to see you practice because how you practice is who you are." COACH PRIME Habits, not highlights, set the greats apart. It's what you repeatedly do-not occasionally do-that makes you exceptional.

Dan Hurley said, "My players accept hard coaching because they know how much we love them." Tough coaching only works if relationships come first. • It means trust. • It means caring. • It means communication. That’s caring about people. That's leadership.

“It’s not what you are capable of; it’s what you are willing to do. Plenty of people are capable. Fewer people are willing." Teammates and coaches don't care about what you're able to do. They care about what you're willing to do. Many are able-few are willing.

Don't count your minutes. Make your minutes count. "If you get 2 minutes, be as good as you can be in your two minutes. Don't pout about your 2 minutes. Show the coach in your 2 minutes you make good decisions-then you get 4-now you get 8. You have to have the right mindset."

Your #1 job isn’t the playbook. It’s the culture. Because culture beats talent. Culture beats excuses. And culture wins if you build it every day.
