football winning games
When it's over, it's over is part of football's greatest appeal to me. When a game ends, win or lose, it's time to prepare for the next one.
meaningful character glue
Character is the glue that bonds solid and meaningful relationships
football real winning
I love coaching football, and winning a Super Bowl was a goal I've had for a long time. But it has never been my purpose in life. My purpose in life is simply to glorify God. We have to be careful that we don't let the pursuit of our life's goals, no matter how important they seem, cause us to lose sight of our purpose. I coach football. But the good I can do to glorify God along the way is my real purpose.
football people leader
A good leader gets people to follow him because they want to, not because he makes them.
team problem
I was not asked whether I would have a problem having Michael Sam on my team. I would not.
long effort outcomes
Long-term success requires faith-faith that your efforts to plan and execute the process will lead to the desired outcome.
successful matter being-successful
DON'T FEAR FAILURE. Fear being successful at things that don't matter
football journey preparation
At some point in life's journey, professionally and personally, we have to be able to trust our preparation.
encouragement needs moral
Everybody needs encouragement, even when things are going well.
football thinking giving
They were unwillingly to give 100 percent if they didn't personally think it was important. What you don't understand is the champions know it's all important.
purpose patterns legacy
Part of our purpose in life is to build a legacy – a consistent pattern of building into the lives of others.
team volunteer empowering
Others first. Whatever your corporate mission, paint a clear and compelling picture that others can understand and embrace. State your mission in terms that appeal to your team's best instincts. Persuade and empower as if you are leading and mentoring volunteers.
impact worry focus
Don't worry about your platform; focus on your impact.
dream ability
You have gifts, abilities, and dreams no one else has.
