Cut Big Lists Down to Size

What principles matter most? Argue that the ones that stick with us through life, work in many settings, and make those around us better.

1. Relationships. Sports are about relationships, trust in your coaches, your teammates, and everyone around you. Trust is earned. Trust gets you on the court and keeps you there. 

2. Simplicity. Baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey, Jr. said, "see ball, hit ball." Pass, set, hit done well is hard to beat. As Ben Franklin said, "well done is better than well said." 

3. Culture matters. Culture is the ecosystem of your program. Great culture is inclusivity, unity, positivity. Fight for your culture every day. 

Lagniappe. Win with fundamental excellence.
