Put a thumb on the scale—your own scale. Help yourself. As Bill Walsh, four-time Super Bowl champion coach and GM, said, “Champions act like champions before they are.”
-
Fall in love with easy. Keep the simple play simple.
-
Lead. Lead by example. Model excellence.
-
Be accountable. Hold yourself to a high standard, every play.
-
Be coachable. Do everything in your means to do what Coach Celli asks—“the right things, the right way, at the right time.”
-
Be consistent. Stay steady in your attitude, your choices, your work. Not every play goes your way, but a lot more will if you are.
-
Show high effort. Sprint to the block. Sprint to the bench during timeouts.
-
Sweep the sheds. (James Kerr, Legacy) Leave the gym better than you found it—no bottles, paper, or tape balls left behind.
-
Represent. Your actions speak louder than words. Be the “How can I help?” person—at home, in class, and on the court. Be the teammate and person everyone wants to follow.
