INTEGRITY IS NOT SITUATIONAL
After a heated loss in Dec '21, Jamal Shead cleaned up his teammate's mess. 2 years later he was Big 12 P.O.Y on nation's #1 team.

“We’re not going to recruit selfish guys, I guys, or guys who don’t want to pay the price.” - Curt Cignetti
That line should be printed on every locker room wall in America.
Talent matters.
But mindset, toughness, and team-first habits matter more.
Coach Grasso retweeted
"To be a leader of the team, it can never stop."
Everybody wants the title, few want the responsibility. Being “the leader” means you’re on the job all the time Leaders don’t take plays off.
They don’t take days off.
They set the expectation and live it.

The best way to gauge others’ values isn’t to ask them directly. It’s to see who they respect.
Shallow people are impressed by superficiality. They look up to beauty, fame, money & power.
Deep people are drawn to substance. They admire wisdom, kindness, creativity & integrity.

Any coach can learn the X’s and O’s.
The best coaches focus on:
1. Creating their CULTURE
2. Growing their SYSTEM HABITS
3. Developing a winning MINDSET
4. Building player RELATIONSHIPS
5. Developing LEADERSHIP skills
What is your focus?

“There’s a lot of negative in the world and a lot of people telling you when you do stuff wrong. To really maximize someone, it’s beneficial for someone to be showing them a vision of their greatest self,” Mike McDaniel
Winners have a shared vision of lifelong growth and success

This is so important for kids to understand.
The most successful people in all facets of life know this.
