Nick Saban explains the difference between a mistake that deserves getting chewed out and one that deserves encouragement “I always sort of had a lot of respect for the fact that any player that’s a competitor wants to do well. And I think when you start with that, you...

This applies not just as a coach but for anyone that has the responsibility of leading people. Understanding the individual and tailoring what is needed for that person, is the key to effective leadership and successful teams.

Is the player giving effort? Is he focused? Is he making controllable mental errors? Is he doing the right things but simply not succeeding yet? Is he already extremely hard on himself? Is he not a self-starter and therefore needs to be pushed? Different current states… Different right next steps. 👀

They all have a “switch.” Ya just have to find what kicks that switch into gear. A calm correction with a vote of confidence? A challenge? A “kick in the ass?” Find it and use it.

How does HE respond to getting chewed out? I remember plenty of interviews where he was not kind to reporters who pointed out problems…

I love this and think every coach needs to hear this. Sometimes after making a mistake, a butt chewing is needed, but quite often it is the other way around. Know your players and know the situation. Nothing and nobody are one size fits all solutions.

This is what great coaching should be: accountability without making every mistake feel like a character flaw. Correct the play, keep developing the person. I love your posts, Josh.

Garrett Temple says the secret to lasting 16 years in the NBA is being low maintenance “I think it goes back to what we talked about earlier. Just understanding your role. I think it’s more difficult for highly touted guys, or guys that are just very talented, that can do a lot of good things and don’t get that opportunity right away. I think they may not be able to be adaptable.” “The talent level is immense. But the ability to be professional, and that’s general, but that means be on time, have a work ethic, be low maintenance. I think that’s the big thing now.” “Being low maintenance, which means not having anybody have to worry about you, or asking for too many things, or you being a prima donna, or things of that nature.” “Just being somebody that’s under the radar. I call it the ‘What do you need, Coach?’ player. When you can be that guy, and then once you get on the court you produce, especially on the defensive end, offensively you can make shots, miss shots, but if you produce defensively and you cause no problems, you only bring positivity to the team, it’s hard for coaches and GMs to get rid of you. It’s very hard.” “Those are all things you can control. It’s simple, but it’s not easy. Because you get in your head. ‘I was this dude, but you go three games without playing. The dude in front of me not even playing well. What are you doing?’” “The ego is so big in professional sports. You have to have one to get to a certain level, but you literally have to be able to turn it on and off.” “And once your mindset is about winning, the team winning, you can focus on doing whatever the team needs you to do to win. That’s the biggest thing that allows people to stay in the league.”

Ben Johnson explains how you build a physically tough team without just screaming at players to be tougher, and says it starts with the character of the players “It’s one thing to say that and want that. How do you get that done in practice and leading up to games?” “Yeah. Well, I think if you ask some of our players, they they would tell you that it was one of the more challenging training camps that they’ve they’ve gone through. And I give them a lot of credit because they trusted this coaching staff. And it’s their desire to be great. It’s their desire to win.” “They they want to they want to be really good at their positions. They want to be really good as a team. And so the buy-in has been there. They they’ve trusted us every step of the way. I think we’ve been very smart with how we’ve approached it. we’ve explained the why to them on everything that we do, which is so critical these days.” “And like I said before, I think when you have guys like Kevin Bard and Grady Jarrett and Joe Tuni, guys that have won at a high level, they played meaningful games in the playoffs, they’ve been to Super Bowls, when you have guys like that, it just helps it helps forge that direction and and brings the locker room with us, you know, and I can’t give those guys enough credit.” “Was that a conscious effort on you guys part to get a couple of veteran guys like that and bring them in those those big-time leaders?” “Yeah, I mean, well, it starts there all the all three of those guys I mentioned, they’re phenomenal football players and even though they’re getting up there in years a little bit, they still are and they they make a meaningful impact on game day. But you’re right, I think their leaders

“You're not entitled to get what you want. I love you. You're entitled to earn what you're willing to go work for. And that's true in our families, in our parenting, in our marriage, in our companies, in society. If we want it, go earn it. If that's positivity, have positivity. I think and I am a positive person. I am jacked. I am excited. Obviously, you can feel my energy through technology here, I hope. Frankly, think positive people just need to get a lot stronger. I really do. I mean, I don't want to call them weak because people hear that differently but it kind of is. Look, if you want that positivity to stick, you’ve got to get tougher. Not sacrifice your love and your care and your empathy, but you got to get tough. And then we have to figure out how to love the people who are cynical because I don't think there's a ton of bad people in the world and I don't think there's a ton of bad people on teams. But I do think there are people who've been burned out. I do think there are people who have been through things in their lives. They've been through things in their company. They're experiencing stuff somewhere else. For whatever reason, they just kind of got run down and cynical and negative, or whatever. Or they're just wired a little different than we are. And I don't to hate on those people. I want to win those people. They don't have to be like me. They don't have to have my energy. But I want those people on my team. I want to love those people. And if eventually they choose that they don't believe in the same things that I believe in, I want to make it really clear and obvious that they don't want to be on this team because we're not about that. You know what I'm saying? I want it to be very easy, obvious, that, ‘Hey I should not be on this team. Because this team is full of very positive people who have great energy and talk to people, not about them.’ And we solve problems. We don't complain. We don't get defensive. We're real. I recognize I'm imperfect and I'm vulnerable to show you that about me. I want to be on that kind of a team. And if there's somebody who doesn’t believe in that stuff, I want to make it really easy for them to say, ‘Look, I don't want to be on this team. I don't wanna live like you guys live. I don't want do what you guys do.’ And then I really hope that that person leaves us and goes and joins our competitor.”

J.J. Watt says one of the hardest lessons he learned as an NFL captain was that not everyone knows how to work the way you work, and being a professional is something that has to be taught/learned “That mentality is a tough thing that I’ve had to learn over time, especially as a leader in a locker room, is when to impose that mindset and when to back off a little bit too.” “Somebody told me this once, and it was a very interesting quote. They said, ‘If you hold every single player to the standard you hold yourself to, you’re always going to be disappointed.’ You hold yourself to such this incredibly high standard, and truthfully, some of these young guys just don’t know yet. They still have to learn how to be a pro.” “Yes, you want to bring them up to your level, but you also can’t be so angry every time. Sometimes I was good at it. Sometimes I was bad at it. I had to learn also how to be a leader. There’s definitely situations I look at where I say, ‘Oh man, I could’ve done a better job there.’” “The thing I always try to remember is, ‘They don’t know everything I know yet.’ That’s a hard switch for me to make sometimes. I go out to practice, and I have this knowledge because of the experience, and I get mad at a guy because he doesn’t know that if they line up like this, they’re going to run this play. And I’m like, ‘Why didn’t you know that?’” “But he doesn’t know. I have to give him that knowledge, and I have to help pull him along. Studying your film, doing your weights, maybe the little extra things, it’s the things that have become natural to me over time, but it’s not natural to them.” “You have to teach them. Being a professional is something that is actually taught. It’s not just a normal thing.”

jihoon knowing all the tiny details that women go through when preparing ourselves in going to concerts 🥹 he even knows that we get frustrated bc we dont look as perfect inside the venue compared to when we leave our houses and assured us that the thought of wanting to look pretty for him in itself already makes us beautiful 😭 HOW CAN U NOT LOVE THIS PERSON 🐶 i know that when it rains, your curled hair falls out and everything. i know that your makeup gets messed up and all that. i take all of that into consideration when i look at you, so please don’t worry about it too much. i just don’t pay that much attention to things like that, so don’t worry about it 🐶 isn’t it actually better that i know these things? if i didn’t know, you might think i would find it strange. but i know all of that. i know i know. so don’t worry about things like that 🐶 people with curly hair straighten their hair before coming, but then suddenly it starts getting curly again because of the humidity, and the volume in their hair completely dies down 🐶 i also know that you can leave home thinking “this is the prettiest i habe looked” and then when you arrive at the venue, you look so different from how you did at home, and then it can make you upset because the singer you like is going to see you like this. i know that. 🐶 no my hair gets flat too, and my makeup gets messed up too. when it rains and it gets humid, im like that too so what. ah you don’t have to be embarrassed. you don’t have to be embarrassed because i wont pay attention to it. you don’t have to be embarrassed. 🐶 just come comfortably, and dress up however you want. just think “i’m the prettiest today”, “i’m the coolest”. dress up looking your best and come. come and have fun. 🐶 isn’t everyone like that? when people are in front of someone they like, they want to look good right? they want to show their best selves. 🐶 but whenever it’s an important day, you get sick, or a pimple suddenly comes up on your face. and on days that aren’t important, your skin looks amazing, or you somehow keep losing weight. that’s just how life is for people. it’s not just me. you all probably experience that too. 🐶 because you want to meet us so badly, and because all your attention is focused on us, you might come with a pimple on your face. things might not go the way you want them to. i know all that. i’m a person just like you. i know what it’s like when something happens on an important day. just think of it as me not seeing those things. so come comfortably. 🐶 yeah i know you want to look pretty. and because i know how much you want to look pretty, you look pretty to me. that feeling itself is beautiful, you know? i’m grateful. it feels like you’re being considerate of me. 🐶 when you go to meet someone, getting dressed up instead of just going out carelessly is a consideration for the person you’re meeting. of course it’s also for yourself. of course you can’t help but look pretty. 🐶 whether your makeup gets messed up, your hair curls back up, or whatever happens, its the actions themselves, each and every one of them, are all good you guys. 💬 why are you making us so emotional? 🐶 i’m not saying it because i’m trying to make you emotional. it is genuinely how i feel. i’m not saying this because i thought, “i have to make them emotional.” it’s true. i really think this way. 🐶 TREASURE MAKERs, you’re all pretty. really.. you’re all pretty. i genuinely think that way.

Billy Donovan explains why he’s not sure if the transfer portal is preparing players the right way for adversity in their lives “The one thing that I don’t like about NIL is, I have always felt that you guys, while you’re in college, should be taken care of with the amount of money that gets generated through athletics. So I think we’re all in agreement on that. Probably should have happened a long time ago.” “My issue with NIL is I think you’re teaching kids a really, really bad precedent. That you can go over here and make this amount of money, and then you’re not happy and pick up and go somewhere else.” “When you go to the NBA, you take a job and you sign a contract. You’re under contract. And I just don’t know how much that’s helping guys.” “What happens if one of these guys does get drafted, whether it be in the NFL, the NBA, and they sign a four-year deal and they’re not happy in the situation, not getting ready to play? They can’t leave.” “I think that you’ve got to be able to work your way through some adversity and difficulty sometimes to find out a little bit more about yourself. The way it’s set up, there’s no resiliency of going through anything that’s difficult and tough in life.” “I’m not begrudging anybody for making anything financially. But when you get into the real world and you sign contracts, you’re going to have to be responsible to those to a certain extent.”

Scottie Scheffler was asked ahead of the BMW Championship his thoughts on the new changes coming on the PGA Tour and whether he’d like to see any of the LIV players back. On the incoming changes, he said: “Getting the best players competing against each other more often is what we want as players. I assume, you guys in the media, that’s what you’d want to see. I assume that’s what the fans want as well and I think that’s the direction that we’re heading. “Making things a bit simpler in terms of who’s going to be at what tournament at what time. Golf has always been a difficult game to rank when you’re not playing head to head, and so getting the best players playing head to head more often than not in a proper tournament is, I think, the best way to do things.” He then was asked whether he’d like to see the PGA Tour offering LIV Golf players the same opportunity to return that was given to Brooks Koepka earlier this year: “Yeah, I think, when we talk about the best players, LIV has a few players that are really good. I think, the depth that we have on our tour is unmatched, but when you look at higher levels of LIV Golf there are definitely players that would provide a value to the tour and guys that I love competing against as well. “So I think going forwards there obviously has to be some kind of penalties. What they are, I’ll let Rolapp and all those guys figure it out. We have great leadership within the tour now. “But I think having those guys coming back and competing, whatever happens with LIV, whether those guys want to leave, you’ve got to ask them. But for me being able to compete against the best players in the world, there’s definitely some guys that can compete out here and I look forward to the chance of being able to compete with them more often.” PGA Tour BMW Championship

"You can either produce excellence or you can avoid criticism. But you cannot do both of those. The reason that you don't have certain excellence that you want is because you are afraid of getting criticized. You are afraid of the judgment that comes with it. You are afraid of standing out. You are afraid of being alone. You are afraid of people looking at you. You are worried about what people think of you. There are 2 categories of things in this world: 1) Things that are up to you 2) Things that are not up to you Which category does your reputation sit in? Your reputation is not up to you. I'm the one who associates your reputation with something, not you. You just do things. What's up to you? How you act. Your decisions. Your actions. That is up to you. Your reputation is not up to you. Here's how I know that: You all have a reputation about me and it's not in my control. I get to say and do whatever I say and do up here. I am in control of saying it. I am in control of doing it. The moment words leave my lips, who has control over what is done with those words? You! You are in control of what you think of me. And there's no way everybody in this room is going to think the exact same thing about me. No way. When it comes to exceptional, what we've got to understand is you can spend your whole life trying to avoid criticism and earn reputation, and it still won't be in your control. We can waste a lot of time missing out on excellence we could have been producing if we were just simply LESS trying to engineer what we wanted other people to think about us."

"3 characteristics of a person you should date VS a person you shouldn’t date?" Chan was stressed out at the beginning because people's standards can be different then someone pointed out to give advice while thinking about Hannah as example when she's dating or she's about to get a partner, 🐺first of all, i would definitely have to intimidate the person a little and establish some dominanceㅋㅋㅋi'd want to see what kind of person this friend is...firstly, the consideration that comes naturally from them, the kind that shows through their actions like acts of consideration that seem ingrained in them that come out naturally? If the person's like that, i think they'd be someone she could date because that means this person has probably in some way been taught those things and grew up seeing that kind of behavior, so it has became ingrained in them so i think they’d have a certain level of consideration or awareness hence i think someone like that would be okay to date...and as an added bonus, if they have consideration and a respectful attitude for example, not only toward Hannah or STAY but if they treats STAY and Hannah's family really well in the same way too then no problem, that’s really good really really good...as for someone you shouldn’t date....ahhh!!! someone who doesn’t keep their promises or someone who lies... those kinds of things are a bit... not good, in a relationship between two people, especially if it’s someone you’re going to know for a long time and someone you’re going to be able to show everything to then i think you have to be extremely honest with each other, and you also have to respect that person’s time and life , in other words, if you make a promise with this person, then you should keep it, because that person agreed to that promise too, right? If both people agreed to it, then you have to keep that promise. You know what i mean? That's how you can gradually become closer and naturally your relationship will get better and better too, i think that’s really important. And this is something that includes me too but i think it’s a little disappointing when someone can’t properly keep the things they say, but on the other hand, someone who keeps their word and on top of that, actually shows it through their actions, that’s a really cool person..... right...once trust disappears, it really is hard to maintain a relationship, it really is hard...
