"Core Values"

Teams thrive on energy. 


Some of you know the Coach John Wooden "Pyramid of Success." Wooden's UCLA team won ten national college basketball championships. There's a lot to see. At the 'cornerstones' stand "Industriousness" (hard work) and "Enthusiasm." Great players have the discipline and attitude to do both. 


The 'core' of the pyramid include condition, skill, and team spirit. Don't sleep on team spirit. Self-belief separates excellent teams from exceptional ones. 

Thursday's game at Lexington displayed team spirit beyond anything seen earlier this season. It looked different and I'm sure that it felt different in person.

There's another unwritten rule that team leaders understand: "just because you're driving the bus doesn't entitle you to throw teammates under it." 

Lagniappe. Jon Gordon has written great stuff.
