Bill Belichick was asked how he builds consistency with his teams. His answer: You can't talk about it - you earn it. "What you want is you wanna trust each one of your teammates - the guy sitting next to you, the guy sitting behind you, the guy sitting across from you." "You wanna be able to trust that guy to do his job, and you want him to be able to trust you to do yours." "So how do you get that? Do you talk about it? No. You earn it." "You earn your teammate's trust by your performance and your consistency every day." Trust is earned. Then he called out what doesn't work: "It's not like, what can they do for you? It's what you can do for them." "You can't talk about it like, 'Oh yeah, I got your back. I got your back. I got your back,' and then don't do it." Consistency builds trust because teammates and coaches know what they can expect from you. "You gotta earn that by doing something for your teammate every single day." "You earn that trust through dependable performance. Nobody can give it to you. You can't buy it. You can't talk about it. You gotta go out there and earn it." "It's a process. And it's day after day after day after day." People need to know that they can trust you and rely on you to perform your best. Be consistent in your actions, approach, and attitude (🎥 NFL Films)
