"My belief is that we should maintain standards in all things that we would need accountability, dependability, and responsibility to attain. They should be standards that we would also need to lean into others for support, feedback, and help to achieve. That is the high standard that I am talking about – high but attainable." - Clint Hurdle in "Hurdle-isms"
"Standards" has become a popular term in sport and society. They arise in the context of:
- Standards of conduct (behavior)
- Standards of preparation
- Standards of performance
- Standards of teamwork
Think about standards not as "better" but "different." Exceptional players organize, study, prepare, and perform to different standards. This applies at home, in school, and in extracurriculars.
What are your standards as an individual and as a team?
What are you doing to meet and then to exceed them?
What can you do as a group to hold each other accountable to those different standards?
Do you have an accountability 'tool' to measure them? (E.g. a checklist)
Are you measuring, monitoring, or reviewing performance (e.g. cellphone video, analytics - hitting efficiency)?
"Winners are trackers."
