Expectations VS Standards

Nick Saban tells a cool story about Julio Jones helping uphold the standard at Alabama nearly 10 years after playing in college

Amazes me how many people STILL try to defend mile testing for team sport athletes Also amazing how many people still think doing things for “bonding,” or “mental toughness,” is a thing I’m not sure why it’s bad to want to test aerobic capacity in a more effective way

“The best teams that I played on, the best players practiced the hardest” - Peyton Manning

Dan Lanning said, "I've always felt your best teams are what I call player-led teams." "The coaches aren't in the room, I think it speaks to the character of the players." The best teams are player-led. • They take ownership. • They hold people accountable. Here's why👇

I've heard this from so many pros over my years covering high school sports, and it never gets old. Listen to Kirk Cousins talk about Friday Night Lights. Chris Fore you'll love this as will everyone who understands the beauty of high school sports.

"It’s not culture’s job to make people feel good. The purpose of culture is to drive the behaviors that win. That’s it. That’s culture’s job." A team's culture isn't defined by words alone. It's forged by the standards they set and the expectations they uphold.

Student-athletes, If you have to be told to: • Show up on time • Compete • Attend class • Do your work • Train hard • Fuel up & hydrate • Get proper rest & recovery • Study your plays • Give your all… You’re not really THAT passionate about the game!

Setbacks aren't losses — they're lessons. Real champions stumble, rise, adapt, and hit harder. You don't need a perfect record; you need relentless resilience. When the odds are against you, double down and push forward. That’s how you build success.

How do you change culture? Through leadership. “That is now how we do things here.” This is why player leadership is so important. Leaders set the standard of “how” things will be done. The bar is set and others follow. How do you develop leaders?

Congrats Austin Irvin

One of the best to wear the Red Raider uniform!! A force defensively with a motor that doesn’t stop. Logan Rarrick helped our defense be a force against the run this year. 23 TFLs and 8 Sacks. 74 total tackles as a DE. A great student athlete and human being.

Most games are won (or lost) in the off-season, (well before the lights come on, and anyone fills the stands)!
