You cannot consistently perform a response under pressure that you never practice in ordinary moments. Pressure does not invent your response. It reveals the response you have repeated. Try this today: Choose one response to train. Use daily friction as the trigger. Repeat the

Negativity doesn’t stay with one person. It spreads.
And what we allow, we encourage.
If someone is draining the energy of your team, don’t ignore it.
Confront them. Coach them. Love them. Give them the opportunity to change.
But if they refuse to change, you have to protect the team and the mission.
Great leaders don’t avoid the hard conversations.
They have them because they care enough about their people to protect the culture they’re building.

Derek Jeter shares a masterclass on preparation and mindset.
"My biggest thing in life that makes me most uncomfortable is being unprepared. And that's in anything."
"You hear athletes talk about the game speeds up or slows down. Well, it slows down when you're prepared. Speeds up when you're unprepared."
That's the difference.
Preparation helps you feel ready for what can and will arise.
"Every time you're in a situation, I've already gone through it in my head."
"If you have the same approach to a spring training game as you do a World Series game nothing changes."
The moment doesn't get bigger - you stay the same.
That's the secret. The greats embrace the boredom of consistency.
They aren't clutch because they rise to the occasion. They're clutch because they've already been there a thousand times in their mind.

Negativity that goes unaddressed doesn’t go away. It grows.
One person can’t make a team, but one person can break a team.
That’s why great teams have the difficult conversations. They address the elephants in the room. They tell the truth. They don’t allow negativity to sabotage the mission.
The goal isn’t to get rid of people who are struggling.
It’s to transform the energy.
Energy vampires welcome. Expect to be transformed.

"If we just stop doing the things losing teams do, we'll get to .500. If we then also add in all the things the winning teams do, we have a chance to be really good."

Buy in isn’t something you force. It’s something you earn and build. Connect to a real problem. Lead with character and competence. Create small wins. Give ownership within the standard. Move people from “It’s not for me” to “I’ll try it” to “I can’t believe I did it any

Adversity will always test the space between teammates.
Connection is easy when everyone is winning.
The real test comes when frustration, pressure, and adversity show up.
Great teams don’t splinter.
They tighten the circle.

I wrote a book with PJ titled Row the Boat. I can tell you he is the real deal. What you see is what you get.
PJ Fleck was asked after the game how he's able shut out the haters and continue being himself despite the heat he takes publicly.
His message, per usual, is worth a listen no matter what you think of the Minnesota Gophers' head coach.
"We will never ever, ever, ever take winning for granted... I don't think there's any reason for anybody in this world, no matter who you are, to apologize for who you are. As long as you are being the best, most authentic, most real version of yourself every day, and you're changing your best, and you're doing good in the world. You do that, don't you ever change... Be yourself."

Mental performance is difficult to coach when it isn’t observable. Instead of “Have a strong mindset,” define the behaviors: One breath after the whistle. Eyes on the focal point. A physical action that signals the next play. Now you can see it, reinforce it, and correct

Confidence is not something you wait to feel. It is something you earn through repeated promises kept. Confidence is the memory of preparation. Create evidence and your mind has something solid to trust. Try this today: Define today’s confidence deposit. Complete it with full

Stop preaching. Start teaching. Preaching says, “Be tougher.” Teaching defines what toughness looks like and creates reps with feedback. Preaching says, “Focus.” Teaching shows athletes how to recognize drift and return. Preaching says, “Move on.” Teaching gives them a

You probably haven’t said it enough.
Average leaders communicate once and assume everyone got the message.
Great leaders communicate it over and over again.
One-on-one. As a team. Every day.
Because when you leave a void in communication, negativity will fill it.
Great leaders communicate and overcommunicate to fill the void.

Stop preaching mindset. Start teaching it. Embed mental performance tools into normal practice drills. Add pressure. Increase the speed. Score the response. Have athletes teach the tool to a teammate. Then review the evidence and repeat it the following week. Make the

Leadership doesn’t have to be complicated.
Let’s make it simple. Love people. Serve others.
Show you care. Leaders who love, serve and care build create cultures and great relationships with their customers.

John Harbaugh on the "Four Fights" that sabotage players and winning teams.
1. Us vs. Them
2. Division From Within
3. Complacency
4. Fatigue
If you, a player, or your team feels off, distracted, or flat, ask yourself, "Which of these four fights are we in right now?"
Once you can name the fight, then you can lead your way out of it.

Championship culture is revealed when things don’t go your way. Do you choose self protection or the team standard? Eliminate BCD. Choose we over me. Connect before you correct. Culture is what we repeatedly tolerate, celebrate, and do. Build it one interaction, one

The mind needs access to memories of effective performance. Many people replay failures in detail while treating success as an accident. Try this today: Choose three real successful moments. Write the details you controlled. Review them before performance. Use the cue:
