DEVELOP LEADERS, NOT JUST PLAYERS


“When you’re trying to get an athlete to lead a team to a championship, you aren’t talking about spin dribbles and slam dunks.  You talk about how to get talented players to use their talent fully; how to get big egos to tone down; how to get lazy players to hustle; how to get selfish people to sacrifice for the good of the group; how to get careless people to pay attention to detail; how to get angry people to calm down; how to get distracted people to stay focused; how to get substitutes to feel important; how to turn disappointment into motivation; and how to learn from mistakes, capitalize on weaknesses, and maximize strengths.”
(from Runnin’ the Show by Dick Devenzio)
