(1) Must Have an Identity
- Ours is...
- Competitive & connected enjoyment with a focus on the process and a will to win (w.i.n)
- Pace and space
- We handle adversity by accepting it is a challenge to overcome (its not the setback, its the comeback, e + r = O. ) our O is to stay In the moment
(2) Incentives need to be aligned
- you have to be about the team to be on the team; work hard, attitude, leadership, the team
- You have to play defense to get on the floor
(3) Must play as a team
- First, is the social contract....
- that everything you give, you will get back
- That when you give to the pack, the pack also gives to you
- Second, is buying into your role...
- each member needs a role that is valued by the team and is also actively validated
- Everyone is a star within their role
- Third, is the teams “vent”ilator...
- Everyone is going to vent. We need to make sure the right people are getting vented to
- Create the time for players to vent. Control this narrative.
- Players in fight or flight play worse. They must feel protected
(4) Must recruit OUR guys
- guys with length, who can defend and can see the floor
- Everything else can be developed
(5) Must have a goal
- is to win the championship
- And graduate
- *** the staff must manage grades
The Elephant aint the king of the jungle
