What’s Your Identity?

Good teams and programs have an identity.  The identity is usually based on what the coach believes in and their teams typically execute that identity consistently season after season.

People may describe a basketball team with a positive identity as “tough”, “defensive minded”, “shoot the three well”.  I always wanted my teams to be known for three things.  Play Hard, Play Defense, Play Together.

Every team and every program have an identity.  The good programs identity is well planned, effective and usually results in consistently winning. 

Programs that do not have a clear identity are easy to spot too.  Their identity is that they have no true identity.  They just exist and often look in disarray.

How about you?  When people see you do they know what you stand for?  How will they describe you?  Every day you are living your identity.  Make sure it is a consistent and positive (winning) identity.

I’m cheering for you.

Be A Good One

On the basketball court one of the most important things you can be is a good teammate. 

A good teammate

1.  Is an encourager.
2.  Does what is needed for the team by embracing their role.
3. Loves to see teammates have great moments and helps them have them.
4. Does the little things that the average fan does not notice.

An entire team of good teammates make great teams.  Good teammates get rewarded and experience success in the end.

Whatever you do be a good one.

1. Be positive and encouraging.
2. Use your gifts to make the world around you a better place.
3. Be happy when other people experience success and celebrate them.
4. Put others needs above your own needs. 
5. Do the little things that the majority of people will not do.

If you’re a good one, whatever that is, you will be impactful to those around you and you will be blessed as well. 

Be a good one.

I’m cheering for you.

The Power of One

My first book, The Power of One, is now available on Amazon. 

More is not always better.  When doing more gets in the way of being effective as a person and a leader we need to simplify and redefine who we are, where we are going, and how we are going to get there. 

We need “The Power of One”.  

Find strength in each chapter’s sixteen words and use the reflection questions to increase your leadership capacity. 

Don’t just settle in the chase for more.   Simplify and grow.
