Leadership in sports starts with women breaking barriers. 💪 Who inspires you? #WomenInSports #GCWHSS

Kobe Bryant said, “It’s not about the number of hours you practice, it’s about the number of hours your mind is present during the practice.” You don't practice until you get it right, you practice until you can't get it wrong. It means be intentional about how you prepare.

💡 Ideas for celebrating National Girls and Women in Sports Day (Feb 5): 1️⃣ Host a sports clinic for girls. 2️⃣ Highlight female athletes in your community. 3️⃣ Organize a team leadership workshop. Share your ideas below! 💪 #NGWSD #GameChangers #GCWHSS

Phil Jackson said, "The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team." Patrick Lencioni said, "Teamwork is not a virtue, but rather a choice." You choose to be a great teammate through what you do. The best teammates master 3 attributes: 1. Humble - Humility is a cornerstone of effective teamwork. A humble team player doesn’t think less of themselves, but rather thinks of themselves less. • It means learning from others. • It means being open to feedback. • It means admitting you don't know. Jay Wright said, "If you're not humble, it's hard to be coached. If you can't be coached, it's hard to get better." 2. Hungry - It means having a strong work ethic, a growth-mindset, and an unrelenting desire to achieve more. • It’s the mindset of excellence. • It's the mindset of giving to the team. • It's being self-motivated and driven. A hungry team player is always looking for ways to contribute, improve, and excel. They're self-motivated and driven by a genuine passion for their work and the team's mission. 3. Smart - Being smart isn’t about just being intelligent on topics, but also about being emotionally intelligent. It's being aware of how one’s actions impact others. • It takes strong interpersonal skills. • It means understanding team dynamics. • It means resolving team conflicts. Team players know the importance of effective communication and building relationships. The importance of all three - The goal is to work with team members to develop all three attributes because when you are lacking one, you can undermine the effectiveness and cohesion of the entire team. For example, a team member who is hungry and smart, but lacks humility may come off as arrogant. "Great team players lack excessive ego or concerns about status." - Patrick Lencioni - - - Follow @coachajkings for more posts like this! The idea for this post comes from Patrick Lencioni's (@patricklencioni) book - The Ideal Team Player: How to Recognize and Cultivate The Three Essential Virtues. Great book and great read for everyone!
