“It’s all about winning. No one is worried about stats, triple doubles or who has the most points. It’s about the team and that’s what makes this group special,” Jason Kidd

Winning is the culmination of dedication, hard work and teamwork. Winners seek collective greatness.

Make winning your habit, not your goal.

Champions aren’t obsessed with the trophy, but with the habits that make winning inevitable.

Excellence is a practice, not a prize.

'If everyone would strive to be the captain of their team as opposed to the MVP, there would be a lot better teams.' Derek Jones

Relentless teammates don't seek a starring role.
Relentless teammates seek to star in the role that the team needs.

“Talent is not everything. The key thing is passion-a passion to practice. It’s monotonous,but it’s fundamentals. It’s the most important thing.”  

Loving the game makes you good.
Loving the consistency, discipline, and relentless effort makes you great.

When you combine mental toughness and consistent effort you find the will to do whatever it takes to win.

Winning is about making relentless plays that earn you more opportunities to achieve higher levels of success.

'You build confidence by doing really hard things over and over, because that's your intent.
That's your focus.
The game honors toughness.'-Brad Stevens

Toughness isn't doing it once.
Toughness is doing it every day, because 'every day is the right way'.

'The main thing is the little things...the attention to detail.
It's a mental grind, and it takes mental toughness.
That doesn't come natural to a lot of people.' Hugh Freeze

Every detail matters, every habit counts. 
Master the small stuff, and you'll own the big moments.

“Be a transformational leader. Be somebody that somebody can emulate. Set a good example. Care about other people. Players don’t care what you know until they know you care. Inspire them to be the best version of themselves,” Nick Saban

“Team chemistry, interpersonal relationships, team environment, the respect you need for one another. All those things really have to be the focal points of the team. Even with talent, without all that infrastructure in place, it would be hard to become a champion,” Mark Messier

Wanting to win is easy.
Being willing to win is not.
Do you just want to win or are you willing to do what winning requires?
Winning requires:
coachability
accountability
leadership
mental toughness
communication
discipline
Average teams want to win
Great teams are willing to

'If a coach holds you accountable, it's because they care more about your future than your feelings.' @DaveAnderson100

Accountability is the ultimate form of belief in your potential.

The best players don’t avoid it; they seek it.

Demand to be pushed not pampered.

“What we want to preach here is a high level of work ethic, love of the game, resourcefulness and just being ready all of the time,” Rick Carlisle

Winning is built with consistent discipline, accepting responsibility and passionate, relentless effort.

“The super power of our team has been our togetherness. You guys encourage each other, you celebrate each other, you support each other. When things get tough, you stay together,” Lloyd Pierce

The essence of true victory lies in the spirit of togetherness.

'There's a difference between being a star and being a champion.
It ain't about you.
It's about us.
The biggest problem I see with a lot of the young players today - you guys are making it too much about 'I' and 'me'.
It's fine, but you're not gonna win.'
📢Tom Brady

Sports has no place for this…

Champions are defined by their habits, their discipline, and their sacrifices - NOT by their gender.

The game is not male or female by design - just by ignorant designations.

Keep sports beautiful by removing bias.

'Be that guy...
have the most positive energy -bring the most positive impact on the people around you.
Those are the special people.
Positive energy around the folks that you spend a lot of time with has far more greater impact on the collective goals than how talented you are.'

“You have to prepare yourself that if you’re lucky and fate taps you on the shoulder and says it’s your turn, you better be ready. If you’re not, there’s no guarantee it will tap you again. You lost the moment. If fate taps you and you’re not ready it’s your fault,” Geno Auriemma
