If you choose the goal, you also have to choose the work that comes with it.
If you want to be great, you don’t get to decide each day whether great effort is necessary.
You already made that decision when you set the goal.
If you commit to the goal, commit to the cost.

LAGRANGE WBB ALUMNI THIS INVITATION IS FOR YOU!

Every teammate should be able to answer 3 questions:
1. What does this team need from me?
2. Can my teammates count on me?
3. Am I making my teammates better?
Great teams are built by players who stop asking, “What’s in it for me?” and start asking, “How can I help us win?”

The best teams don’t rely on stars, they rely on habits & standards. Every player owns their role. Every rep, every play, every ounce of effort adds up. Because when one person locks in, it pushes everyone else higher. The power of one becomes the power of all. That’s teamwork!

You can't want more playing time,
a bigger role, leadership responsibilities
championships, or to play at the next level
If you don't want to work hard, to make sacrifices, to discipline yourself, to be coached, to be held accountable.
Wants come with requirements.

No Deposit. No Return.
One of the first lessons I ever taught my teams.
Want the return? You have to make the deposit first.
Time. Effort. Preparation. Sacrifice.
Everything is earned.
It’s Lesson #1 in Culture WINS. 🏆

There’s nothing wrong with hard.
What’s wrong is expecting to get better while avoiding everything that challenges you.
You have to choose the work before you earn the result.

Sean McVay said, “Winning is a habit; let’s make it ours.”
I love that.
Winning isn’t just game day. It’s how you prepare, respond, compete, and show up every day.
So what habits make winning possible?
Here are the 6 Habits of Winners.
1. Keep Stacking Days
Winners show up every day. It’s not about going all out once in a while but consistency. Small, daily actions compound over time. Whether in the gym, the classroom, or your mindset, showing up EVERY DAY beats sporadic intensity.
2. Focus on the Process, Not Just the Results
Winners don’t obsess over outcomes; they focus on the steps that get them there. The journey is where growth happens. By locking in on the process, they make success inevitable by constantly improving what they can control.
3. Embrace the Struggle
Winners don’t shy away from challenges or discomfort. They know that growth happens in the tough moments. When others quit or back down, winners lean in. They understand that pain and struggle are part of the path to greatness.
4. Adapt and Adjust
Winners are flexible. They don’t stick to a rigid plan when things change - they adapt. Whether it’s a new strategy, an unexpected challenge, or setbacks, winners adjust and keep moving forward.
5. Stay Humble and Hungry
No matter how much success they’ve had, winners never think they’ve “arrived.” They remain humble, knowing there’s always room to improve. And they stay hungry, constantly pushing themselves to improve, no matter how much they’ve already achieved.
6. Mental Toughness
Winners build mental resilience. They don’t let failures define them or allow external pressures to control their mindset. They train their minds as much as their bodies, learning to stay focused, calm, and confident in any situation.

There’s this guy… then every other FB coach.
Kirby is as “believable” as they come. Good luck recruiting against this. It’s why I’ve admired UGA ever since they nipped our #Sooners in Pasadena.
Everyone competes against this “standard.”
Not easy. But not impossible.

Talent gets you there.
Process keeps you there.
Nick Saban said it best:
“You must focus on the things that have made us good all season long.”
Championship teams don't chase the moment.
They live the process.

Joe Mazzulla spent time with Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson this summer, per @Scalabrine
“Jordan told Joe, ‘the reason why I kept winning is because I acted like I never won.’”

Trust your prep. Everything you choose to do makes a difference, whether you think it does or doesn’t. Just like Rome wasn’t built in a day, trust isn’t built through a single action. Establish concrete systems, beliefs, & expectations and EXPECT to stay the course.
