Every team fights the same battle every year. Selfishness versus team-first culture. Jon Gruden asks Drew Brees the right question here because every good offense eventually has to manage the same tension. Skill players want the ball. Contracts matter. Roles matter. Production matters. But inside a real offense, not...

This World Cup has shown how Argentinian players are just built different, and it was interesting because, in the press conferences, both managers addressed this. First, Tuchel talks about the Argentinian value of the ball and how they protect the ball at all costs, how they manage those small spaces, and how they learn this from a young age. He references culture, and this is exactly it. A child playing in a certain environment leads to that. Not every Argentinian child is on the national team, but it raises the ceiling. It creates a certain type of style and a certain type of player. Then Scaloni also references his culture. He sees them play without fear of losing. It comes from playing in an environment where you are constantly faced with the potential of losing and being able to play with that pressure, right? They don’t fight against it. They play with it. They use it. And I think this is where youth football coaches should really take note. This does not mean we should copy and paste Argentinian culture into every training environment, because culture cannot just be copied. But the values within that culture can be inculcated in every training environment. The value of the ball. The courage to receive it in small spaces. The ability to protect it under pressure. The confidence to keep playing after a mistake. The willingness to play with the possibility of losing rather than constantly trying to avoid it. Those values can become part of the environment we create every day. They can be present in the games we design, in what we praise, in what we allow players to struggle with, and in how we respond when they lose the ball. If every mistake leads to the coach stopping the session, giving the answer, or taking the pressure away, then players never learn to play with that pressure. They learn to wait for the coach. It was cool to see how two managers, at such a big stage, reference culture and the environments that kids play in when they’re young. Because the players we see on the biggest stage were not only created by tactics or coaching information. They were created by environments that taught them what to value, how to relate to the ball, and how to play when there was something to lose.

Matt Rhule (Matt Rhule) is widely regarded as one of the best builders of culture in the world. Much of his philosophy with Nebraska Football was shaped by his experience as a walk-on at Penn State, where he learned three foundational truths: 1. "Everything Matters". 2. Every person deserves to be held to championship standards. 3. The most important investment you can make is in the person, not the player: 🏆 Championship standards only stick when they apply to everyone. The moment the rules bend for one person, the culture begins to break for everyone. The fastest way to erode trust in a team is to be selective with accountability. If the star player can skip the line, arrive late, or ignore details that would get someone else corrected, the message is clear: talent earns exemption. When no one is above the standard and no one is beneath it, trust deepens, entitlement disappears, and discipline becomes a shared identity rather than just a set of rules imposed by coaches. 🪣 Every player carries water for the program. The star may score the points, but the walk-on who dives on the floor in practice also helps build the habits that win championships. The star may finish the play, but the walk-on helps build the foundation that makes the play possible. When a team understands that every person carries water, no role feels small, and everyone takes OWNERSHIP of the mission. 🫡 Holding every person to the same standard is one of the highest forms of respect. It tells your best players they are not above the team, and it tells your role players they are essential to it. It will take everyone to win a championship, and just one person to mess it up. The most disciplined teams transform accountability into a shared promise: we will honor each other enough to demand the best from everyone, regardless of role, situation, or title.

Nick Saban has always asked this question about Leadership... "How many guys on the team need to be led?" Coach Saban believed in the power of Collective Leadership with his teams. 1. Are most players on your team bought in? 2. Do most players on your team set a good example? These players do not need someone to impact or influence them if they are already making these choices and leading by example. This is the power of collective leadership. Collective leadership is vital to successful teams. I believe there are 7 types of Collective Leaders that all teams need: 1. The GAMER - When the game is on the line. Who does the team look to? Who wants the ball in their hand? It is the Game Leader. They don't "have" to lead in other ways, but it would be best if they did. This player is often the ultimate competitor on the team. 2. The WORKER - Winning Teams have Practice Leaders. They bring energy and focus to each practice. They ensure competitive and strong practices. They Lead by Example. You practice much more than you play. 3. The GATEKEEPER - This leader ensures the Team Culture is Maintained. They put out the fires. They keep the team accountable. Especially when the coach is not there. They are essential in WINNING Teams. 4. The COMMUNICATOR - It is a long season. There will be difficult days. Teams need the Communicator to get through these tough days. They often provide humor and can lighten the mood. They have high Emotional Intelligence. This is an Underappreciated Leader. 5. The CONNECTOR - These players are often your “glue” players. They keep the team connected on the court or field as well as in the locker room and in social settings. 6. The ENERGY GIVER - The Energy Giver brings Positive Energy Every Day! Their Energy is Contagious! This leader knows that nothing great can be accomplished without Enthusiasm. The Energy Leader brings positive energy each day. They feed the team! 7. The SERVER - Finally, the Server embodies Servant Leadership. They are all about the TEAM. They bring a WE-first mentality to all they do. Their focus on the TEAM creates a contagious WE>ME mentality throughout the team. Collective Leadership WINS. _____ Follow me for more actionable ideas on coaching, leadership, and personal growth. Subscribe to my newsletter, 🏆 Great Teams Better Leaders 123.

Football is the most complex sport that has many rules that the majority of fans (or sometimes even commentators) don't fully understand. I've seen a lot of misinformation and confusion last night and today regarding what an eligible receiver is and what intentional grounding is. What is intentional grounding? (see the 1st picture) If the ball is thrown to the vicinity of an eligible receiver, there is no penalty. So the next question is what makes someone an eligible receiver? (see the 2nd picture): - Anyone off the Line of Scrimmage - The farthest man to the left of the players on the L.O.S. - The farthest man to the right of the players on the L.O.S. The offense must have at least 7 players on the L.O.S. (so they cannot have more than 4 off the L.O.S.). Therefore, there are usually 6 eligible receivers in any given play (the 4 players off the L.O.S. plus the farthest man on the L.O.S. to the left and to the right). Yes, the Quarterback is an eligible player. On the Lions backed up play, Goff throws the ball toward (and in the vicinity of) two eligible players. Debate all you want about his Tight End being in the vicinity, but his RB is right in front of him and the ball almost hits him. A player running a route or blocking has absolutely nothing to do with whether he's eligible or not. There is clearly no Grounding on that play. In the 3rd Quarter, the Vikings get called for Grounding simply because there's no eligible player within 10 yards of where the ball lands. These are pretty clear cut plays.
