How you handle yourself speaks volumes about who you really are.We continue our week of episodes focused on Sportsmanship & Class. For over 40 years of coaching, these have been at the top of the list for me as to what I wanted our kids and teams to be known for - having good sportsmanship and handling ourselves with class. When it comes to youth and school sports, there is nothing more important to me than that. I want to win as much as anyone else, but I am not willing to compromise my integrity with regard to how we handle ourselves just to win a game.Today, I am focused on quotes about sportsmanship that all came from one man. Ironically, I had never heard of this man until I was doing the research for these quotes on sportsmanship. But, holy cow, does he have great quotes about sportsmanship! Who is he?

“Success is peace of mind that is the direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” John WoodenWe conclude our final week of our 7-week series of quotes based on themes from my book, "Senior Salute," with five more quotes on the theme of "Success," plus one extra quote.In my quest to find a definition of success, I found that the John Wooden quote above had defined it in a way that was right in line with how I had come to feel. His definition of success was so spot-on that I chose to adopt it as mine, too. I encourage you to consider success in this same way. Your success is about how hard you try and how far you are willing to go without giving up. Many successful people have been counted out numerous times, but they refused to give up. They just doggedly persisted until they eventually achieved what they were seeking. When you do that, you will be a success every time, no matter what some scoreboard says. I wrote "Senior Salute" as a follow-up to my most popular book ever, "Inspiration for the Graduate." Both are gift books for coaches or parents to give to their senior athletes. "Inspiration for the Graduate" makes for a great graduation gift, and "Senior Salute" is a great gift to give on Senior Night or at the End-of-Season Banquet. Each book is filled with quotes based on various Team Themes that, hopefully, the coaches have talked with and worked on with their teams at some point in the season.Also, please consider becoming a supporter of the show.

We finish up our sixth week of our 7-week series of quotes based on themes from my book, "Senior Salute," with five more quotes on the theme of "Teamwork."No matter what you do or where you go in life after your experience in sports, chances are that you will always be part of some kind of team. The concepts of a team will be involved in so many different aspects of your life - work, sports, clubs, church, families - to name a few. The camaraderie of a team will be something you will continue to experience long after you are done playing sports. You will always be part of groups that are bigger than just yourself. While individual success and accolades are fun and exciting, there is nothing quite like being part of a successful team. Enjoy all of the team experiences you are fortunate enough to be a part of now and in your future. I wrote "Senior Salute" as a follow-up to my most popular book ever, "Inspiration for the Graduate."

Hold yourself accountable so that nobody else has to.We finish our fifth week of our 7-week series of quotes based on themes from my book, "Senior Salute," with four more quotes on the theme of "Accountability."Accountability is about being responsible for your actions. An accountable person can be counted on to do the right thing. People consider you to be accountable if they expect you will take care of what needs to be done for you and your team to be successful, even if nobody is watching. Accountability builds trust between teammates because they know they can count on each other to get their jobs done. I wrote "Senior Salute" as a follow-up to my most popular book ever, "Inspiration for the Graduate."

No matter what field, arena, or job you are in, productivity and production are how you will be judged as to whether or not you are getting the job done.We finish up this week's episodes dealing with production and productivity by talking about five quotes. For the final quote today, though, I talk extensively about the person who said it, as his story is as powerful as the quote that he said. Coming out of the more low-key, less productive week of Thanksgiving, this was a great week to talk about quotes dealing with production & productivity and a great way to get us back on track to working to be the best that we can be!I am grateful to all of you who support the podcast!

No matter what field, arena, or job you are in, productivity and production are how you will be judged as to whether or not you are getting the job done.We finish this week's episodes dealing with production and productivity by talking about five quotes; however, for the final quote, I take a good amount of time to talk about the person who said it because his story is as powerful as the quote he said.

No matter what you do in life, do it with passion. We finish up our fourth week of our 7-week series of quotes based on themes from my book, "Senior Salute," with five more quotes on the theme of "Passion."If you don't have passion for the things you endeavor to do, you will struggle to succeed. Passion ignites us to do our best. It fires us up to go out and attack whatever it is that we are passionate about. Those with passion bring more to the experience, both for themselves and for others, and their passion is contagious. Attack your endeavors with passion, excitement, energy, and enthusiasm. Put your heart and soul into all you do and show it to the world. When that happens, nothing can stop you from becoming all that you seek to become. I wrote "Senior Salute" as a follow-up to my most popular book ever, "Inspiration for the Graduate." Both are gift books for coaches or parents to give to their senior athletes.

Instead of coming to you once a week, episodes will be coming to you three times a week - Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays. While the episodes will usually be a little shorter than in the past, they will still carry the same clout with powerful quotes for you to use with your teams or on your own leadership journey. Most episodes will still cover multiple quotes, but when I want to dive deep into a quote, I'll usually cover just one.You heard the first of these episodes in the new format on Monday & Wednesday.

Change is on the horizon! Beginning next week, I will be releasing 3 episodes per week - one on Monday, Wednesday, & Friday. The episodes will be a little shorter in length (probably), but they will come to you more often. My goal is to create episodes in the 5-10 minute range, cut down to one or two quotes per episode, and create more of a "short, but sweet" type of show. Yes, I will still discuss the quotes a bit, but I will zero in on the key points and main focus of each quote.Eventually, I may end up moving to 5 or even 7 days a week, but for now, you will hear this show three times a week. I am excited about the new format, and I hope you are, too.

Today, I am starting a new series. I was not planning to do so. I was merely going to do the quote that you see as the title of the series, "Leaders are Readers." Then, as I did a little research on that quote, I found quite a few more quotes to help explain the importance and value of that quote and concept. The more quotes I found, the more I wanted to talk about them.And so, we will have a few episodes that deal with the importance of reading. For those of you who are not readers, DO NOT run away from the episodes! They are for you more than they are for those of us who consider ourselves readers already. You will find GREAT IDEAS in here to help spur you on to becoming someone who is a reader, and you will find ways to read that make it easier for you to become someone who considers himself/herself a reader.I will also be introducing a new format that I am going to try to put out to the world that deals with the idea of reading books. Not sure yet when I will talk about it, but it will be at some point in this series. Also not sure when I will actually start whatever it is I plan on doing, but again, you will hear that at some point in the series, too (I think!).But for now, enjoy this journey through quotes about the importance of reading for those of us in leadership positions!For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

We leave our series on quotes coaches should NOT use and start back to the more conventional concepts of quotes we should use. However, today's episode is not about a specific "quote" like so many of the quotes I have spoken about for most of the 260 episodes before this. Rather, today I talk about two paragraphs in Dr. Brene Brown's book, Dare to Lead.I have talked about Brene Brown numerous times before and covered a lot of quotes or ideas by her. Today, I talk about a couple of paragraphs that are important for coaches to hear because they discuss ways we create either shame or belief in our kids.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

We move into the ninth and FINAL episode of a series on quotes that coaches should NOT use in their own personal development or with their teams. Today, we wrap up by covering two concepts that we have probably all dealt with in some way before: comments about summer/off-season involvement and what we say to our teams after contests, especially after we lose.Whoa! Those could be huge, Scott! That's right; they are! That's why we needed to make sure we covered them.I hope you enjoyed the series. Come back next week for a new episode that is back to our usual type of topic - one that covers the type of quotes that coaches/leaders SHOULD USE with their teams!For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

We move into the eighth episode of a series on quotes that coaches should NOT use in their own personal development or with their teams. Today, we cover a concept that ALL of us, not just coaches, need to be aware of and try not to do when it comes to communicating: sending mixed messages.I have two different scenarios that I discuss in here where I have seen coaches make this mistake. I'm sure there are probably more, but you will get the gist of the matter by hearing about these two situations where mixed messages are sent.Also, you will hear me talk about "Team Building Through Positive Conditioning" in this episode. If you are interested in diving into that concept a bit more, I suggest you pick up the eBook or video of that presentation or have me out to your school to talk to your coaches about it.
