Urban Meyer shares the 5 traits he used to identify elite recruits.
These are qualities every great player, coach, and businessperson has in common.
"The single most common characteristic of every great player, every great coach, every great businessperson I've ever been around - they just detest losing. Losing makes them ill."
Everyone loves to win, but do you compete and hate to lose?
"Mental and physical toughness. I don't care if you're running a shoe company or whatever. You just gotta be tough."
Toughness requires a willingness to endure and go beyond your current limits.
"You gotta lead yourself, then lead others - in that order. You can't lead others before you lead yourself."
Leadership is action-based. Itโs dependent on what you do, not your title.
"Football is a complicated game. The world's complicated."
It's not just about talent - you have to be knowledgeable and hungry to learn more in your field.
"65 to 75% of the plays Mahomes makes are the broken plays. He adapts."
Successful people are consistently evolving. They are resilient and have the ability to adjust, improve, and constantly grow. The 5 traits:
1. Competitor
2. Toughness
3. Leadership
4. Intelligence
5. Adaptability
Meyer got so committed to these 5 qualities that every coach had to sign their name on the line - committing to them for who they recruited.
Great teams aren't luck. They're built by defining the standard and holding the line.

With a Sharpie. On the line.
If that player didn't have these 5 traits - the coach who vouched for him was accountable.
