Dan Lanning shares what separates good teams from great ones - and it starts with the players.
"Your best teams are what I would call player-led teams."
"I walk into a team meeting the other day - the coaches aren't in the room...They're talking to the team about the things we gotta do better."
"I think that speaks to the character of the players on our team."
That's what real culture looks like.
Players holding each other accountable without being told to.
"Sometimes you're afraid to be a leader because you're like, 'Well, I still make mistakes.'"
"The reality is - I make mistakes. The coaches make mistakes. The players make mistakes. What we gotta do is own 'em - but still be willing to call people out and get better."
You don't have to be perfect to lead.
You just have to be willing to do what's right and what's best for the team.
Own your mistakes and hold the standard.
