Create Rules to Follow

All opinions expressed in the blog are solely my own.

Develop your code, rules to follow. 

Prioritize. Family. School. Everything else. 

"Always do your best." Our best won't be perfect but we don't need to apologize for it. 

"Learn every day." Learning opportunities fly by. 

Read. Readers lead. Readers achieve. "The difference between who we are today and who we are five years from now are the people we meet and the books we read." 

Be on time. Former UNC star Phil Ford set his watch ten minutes fast to "Dean Smith time." 

Never embarrass the team or yourself. 

"Don't cheat the drill." The best players compete at a high level in practice and in games. 

Build better habits. "We make our habits and our habits make us." James Clear's Atomic Habits is the definitive work on habits. 

Be coachable. Never stop listening to your coaches. Great players thirst for coaching. "Mentoring is the only shortcut to excellence." 

Lagniappe. Greatness.
