Josh Niblett Episode Notes: • Trust and Truth One one deals with US and the other deals with YOU • The importance of letting your coaches have autonomy with their position group. • Connection is the utmost importance of any organization • Standards over Rules on your team - If you give people rules they look to break them, if you give them Standards the look to uphold them. • Standards in Gainsville High School Football • Don't make your first team meeting about football • DNA System - The Standard A GET TO not a HAVE TO MOMENT • What am I in it for and How can I help? You can have standards, but you better have a process - You better make it about people. Have a purpose when you wake up everyday - Don't have a plan because plans change. • Age, Experience, and Titles DO NOT allow you to be a leader. • When you have High Truth and High Love in your program you can coach a kid hard. You tell the kid it's not personal its personalized. • You cannot improve in a day, but you can improve daily. Winners and Losers wake up everyday, but the difference is WINNERS have a system. • There are two things you do everyday - Chase Best or Run From Worst • Are you a consumer or contributor inside your program? We have to teach kids how to be a contributor. • Talent vs. Tough - What happens when you match up across someone as talented as you or better - Toughness is the difference.

Can you juggle your priorities...Decide which balls are glass and which are plastic. You can't keep all your balls in the air all the time but that's fine. JT and I discuss which to drop and which to keep in the air. When there are so many balls in the air each day, you have to accept that some are going to drop. You can't keep all the balls in the air all the time so you have to be intentional about which balls to drop, instead of it just happening. Instead of focusing on the broad categories of work and family, you need to consider with more nuance which balls are glass, which are plastic, and focus on the glass ones.

The Moment + the man! Have you ever been given a second chance? We unpack the legendary "CATCH" from David Tyree in Super Bowl XLII. With the ball in the air, Tyree perfectly timed his jump to catch it at the peak of its arc. Harrison immediately attempted to knock the ball from his possession as he came down with it, but Tyree locked it onto his helmet with incredible strength from his right hand before hitting the ground and securing it with both hands. Somehow, Tyree maintained control the entire time, and the ball never hit the ground. The greatest play in Super Bowl history had just set the stage for the greatest upset in Super Bowl history. ... But there is more to the story ... Listen in this episode as we discuss how we are in the second chance business as coaches, educators, and leaders.

Each year John Torrey and John Weaver pick a word for the New Year that will inspire us to be our best. We started this practice three years ago. As most of you may know Jon Gordon wrote One Word with Dan Britton and Jimmy Page to help people discover their word for the year. Dan and Jimmy invented the "One Word" practice and have been doing it with their families for over twenty years. Our words over the years have been: FINISH, INTENTIONAL and, PERSEVERE Each word has molded and shaped us to become better people, fathers, husbands, leaders and communicators. Looking back we might say that our One Word chose us more often than we chose it. It's also a fun team building exercise and much more effective than New Year's resolutions. 9 out of 10 people will fail with their resolutions but One Word sticks. No goals. No resolutions. Just One Word that helps you write and create a yearly chapter in your life story. It's powerful.

Many words can be used to describe the man known as college football's Pirate — “quirky,” “unique,” “genius” — but one thing is certain: Mike Leach beat to the rhythm of his own drum. In this episode we look into the legacy of Mike Leach. Joining Hal Mumme's staff is 1989 as the OC at Iowa Wesleyan, the Valdosta State, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. His first head coaching gig was at Texas Tech from 2000-09, then transformed and revitalized the town of Pullman, WA while at Washington State from 2012-19. Mississippi State is where his career ended as he moved on to greener fields in a place we can only imagine. The legacy that will outlive him is, of course, the “Air Raid” offense that his former boss, Hal Mumme, created and he essentially perfected. It's appropriate that Leach won his last game — the Egg Bowl against arch-rival Ole Miss. But that's just a victory that lives on paper. Leach's real victory was in life. To a man, every coach who has made any kind of statement about his passing liked him as a person, respected his high level of intelligence and feared his “Air Raid” offense.

If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything. In a world filled with pride, arrogance, and self-centeredness, author Britt Gusmus had many hard lessons to learn. Lessons that continue every day. When a mirror was placed in front of him that reflected love, purity, honesty, strength, and compassion, he had two choices: He could turn and run. He could walk toward that light every day, one step at a time. He chose to walk toward the light. And he began by asking questions. Had my upbringing led me astray? What if I changed my movement patterns based on the essentials to survive? What if my movement patterns were endless? What if the source of my strength is rooted in eternal inspiration that satisfies my instincts and human desire? The Oak Tree Source dares men to find and welcome the light … a light that flows through the Source into their career and in relationships, flipping age old beliefs on the head. Too often, men define themselves by only what they do … by what they've accomplished … by the toys they own. Being a man takes work. With the Source as the guide, a generative force and faith emerges bringing purpose to life. Gusmus writes, “Being a man takes work.” Yes it does. When you swallow truth about yourself and let that truth bring about change and growth, it makes you stronger—not weaker.

The same goes for playing too many sports. Some athletes benefit from playing multiple sports in a year while other athletes need a break between seasons. In this Motivation Monday we outline "AND" not "OR" students.
