Themes : Hard Work, Winning, First Penguin Award

Dan Hurley said, “We have this culture of playing incredibly hard. We never lose because of our effort.”

Culture is:

1. What you allow.
2. What you emphasize.
3. Every day.

If you emphasize and demand hard work every day, you get it.

NBA Coach Doc Rivers said that his parents taught him, "never allow yourself to be a victim." Think about that. 

• Winners are wired differently. 
• Winners are more aggressive, playing with competitive fury.
• Pressure degrades performance. Winners have theirs fall less with it.
• Everyone misses shots. Winners take the next one, believing in themselves and expecting to make it. 
• Winners are resilient; they never quit. 

If someone asked me, "which player is the MVB First Penguin right now?" That's not the MVP or loudest, it's what it is. It's the player who's throwing the first punch. 

"Easy question." Of course it's Carol, bombs away.
