- Pay attention to detail
- Prepare the right way

Nobody motivates the Tiger… The tiger just hunts.
The purpose of life is to develop your gifts, the meaning is to give those gifts away
Pro guys – coach then individually, college this is how we do it and we coach everyone the same… learn to coach the individual.
Keep people choosing to do the things they need to do to keep moving forward… keep them committed to greatness
High achievers don’t like being around those who are mediocre and those who are mediocre don’t like being around high achievers
You feel like you did a bad job as a coach? This is the worst feeling you can get.
Losing can refocus a good team during a season.
People respond better when things go poorly than when things go well – human nature.
