Gregg Popovich shares his final message and it has nothing to do with wins and losses. "The wins and losses are all crap. The highs and lows are all crap. It's illusory. It doesn't really exist." "What exists is seeing these guys and their kids. Those relationships with your assistant coaches - everybody else you're with - your colleagues, your friends." "'Cause that's what you take with you as you move along." The best leaders and coaches invest in people. "All those wins or losses - they fade away. They fade away." "But those relationships stick with you forever. And that's where the self-esteem and the self-satisfaction comes." A must-listen message for all coaches, players, parents, and teach out there. Great leadership isn't one style. It's knowing your people well enough to give them what they need. Invest in the relationships. Care about people, hold them to their potential, and lead in your style. (🎥NBA )

Minnesota Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell - Power of the Why (QB Coaching) - "If you believe in something as a coach very strongly, hopefully you believe in it not just because it's the way you came up or what you learned many many years ago... Hopefully you think about it in a lens that this principle or this way of looking at things will make you a better player." - "Part of managing the position is managing & undestanding people. You start to sense a little uncomfortable reaction to things or an extra question here or there, you better go circle back to to the why. This is why it's important and it might have an impact on other layers of the offense to understand the nucleus of the why. And then what that does is it empowers them to deliver the message through their play and how they interact with the WRs, TEs, RBs & OL."

“Pressure is something you feel when you don’t know what you’re doing.” - Chuck Noll Preparation is the antidote to pressure.

Might not have a football field right now, but the ball don’t lie. @NGarlandFB @trucker89 @GarinBoniol @CoachDC940 @Kscott9983 @DadaDoss1

John Harbaugh nailed it: "Leadership is serving other people." "It's helping other people accomplish what they want to accomplish. It's make a difference in their lives." Great leaders believe they serve the team. They know that leadership is a responsibility to serve.

Congratulations to three of our alumni who have signed UDFA (Undrafted Free Agent) contracts with NFL teams! 🏈 Devean Deal — Naaman Forest High School Class of 2021 — Seattle Seahawks Tommy Dunn — Naaman Forest High School Class of 2021 — Dallas Cowboys Jordan Hudson — Garland High School Class of 2022 — Dallas Cowboys We are proud to see them continuing their football journeys at the next level.

The best cultures don’t happen by accident. They’re built with intention. Dan Lanning said they spent 4 months defining the DNA of their program before ever putting it on a wall. 4 traits: Connection - because players fight harder for people they truly know. Growth - win or lose, it's “growth week.” The standard is always improving. Toughness - handling hard without flinching. Sacrifice - being okay with the team winning even when you don’t get the spotlight. That’s leadership. Not just demanding standards… but building an environment where people want to live them out.

It was an honor to help out with Teacher Appreciation @JackLoweSrES @SHARDEECRYSTAL. Grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the amazing teachers who make a difference every day!

"Modern Football in the NFL is Quarterback driven. You can look at the analytics... QB Success is a higher predictor of winning and losing than Turnover Ratio." - Ben Johnson
