Leaders create culture.
Culture drives behavior.
Behavior produces results.
Your team will perform this year based on the culture that your leaders build." @TimothyKight

Change your habits…change your path
1. Breakfast everyday- start getting calories in early
2. Prioritize sleep
3. Hydrate as soon as you wake up and carry h2o everywhere you go.
These basics are low hanging fruit for athletes but have the power to create change

Many may not want to hear this but it’s 💯 % the athlete’s responsibility to ensure they are fueling, hydrating, and sleeping properly heading into game day.
No one can force anyone to do anything.
We are each responsible for controlling our controllables.
There’s so many athletes given every resource and tool but often they don’t use those tools or apply them consistently.
The lack of follow through in
Nutrition, Recovery, Sleep and Hydration WILL eventually catch up with an athlete.
Failing to fuel and take care of the body will eventually impair performance, Injury and illness risk, muscle and bone density, and overall training adjustments.
If you’re a student-athlete wanting to compete at the next level in college or go pro you should leave absolutely nothing up to chance. Take care of your controllables! – at Nashville, TN

It feels like you’ll never get your chance.
It feels like the moment will never come.
Train for it.
Prepare for it.
Treat every tiny opportunity like the biggest.
You’ll either grow it from the ground, or it will feel like it popped out of nowhere.

Your life is a journey.
There are paths to choose.
Bridges to cross.
Mountains to climb.
Deserts to endure.
Storms to survive.
There is treasure to be found and dragons that must be slain.
You will win some battles and lose some battles.
Some people will help you, others will criticize.
It is your journey. Embrace it. Persevere. Stand firm.
Never, ever give up.
One step at a time.
Tom Coughlin said, “Winning is what happens when commitment, desire, talent, preparation, hard work, and leadership all come together.”
Success comes from doing the work.
Winning is your ability to look in the mirror and know you gave your best.
Everyone wants to win, but not everyone is willing to do what it takes to win.
When you focus on winning the moment, that is how you win today and ultimately how you win in life.
6 Keys To Achieving Your Goals and Winning:
1. Be Wholeheartedly Committed: It drives effort and focus showing that you're dedicated to the objective. Set clear and meaningful goals, create a detailed action plan, and remind yourself regularly of your WHY. Stay accountable by sharing your commitment with friends, mentors, and coaches who can support and encourage you on your journey.
2. Have A Passionate Desire for Success: Your passion fuels your motivation and resilience when you face challenges and adversity. Visualize the positive outcomes and how they will impact your life. Stay inspired by learning from the best and how they achieved their success.
3. Be Prepared and Ready: Preparation and readiness lay the groundwork. Break down your goals into smaller, actionable steps and create a plan. Anticipate potential challenges and develop strategies to overcome them. When you fail to prepare, you can't easily adapt and adjust. Continually reflect on your progress and adjust.
4. Show Up And Do The Work: Create the plan and then WORK the plan. Be disciplined and embrace the process. Invest time and energy in pursuit of your goals. You’re only as good as your long-term consistency, so stay disciplined and consistent. Celebrate small milestones and find joy and fulfillment in the journey, this will help you stay motivated and avoid burnout.
5. Focus On Growth and Improvement: Take time to self-reflect and understand your strengths. Work on your skills, improve, and focus on developing your talents. Continuously learn and improve to enhance your abilities and stand out. Think about growth and how you can make growth a daily habit.
6. LEAD, LEAD, LEAD: Set the example and be the example. Set your standard for performance and the be consistent with your action. In team environments, leadership and teamwork are essential for achieving goals. Encourage open communication, feedback, and foster innovation. Connect and build strong relationships with your team while leading with empathy and respect.
“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” - Brian Tracy

The unspoken reality of leadership I’ve shared for a decade in every staff and locker room I’ve spoken to.
No one wants to say because it:
• It doesn’t sell books
• It’s not “positive”
• It’s scares people
So instead they repeat old cliches and quotes from the latest best-seller. All fluff disconnected from the reality of leadership on the ground.
Among the lessons on leadership Kirby Smart learned this summer is something no one really talks about - The Cost of Leadership

I recently shared a quote brought to my attention by my friend @DuncanFrench
It gets the heart of the responsibility and cost of leadership.
It reminded me of President Theodore Roosevelt's quote "The Man in the Arena", one of my favorites.

Lots of people have the ambition.
Few have the patience for the process.
Even fewer have the resiliency to stick with the process for years and decades.
It’s a daily choice to choose the process over temporary pleasure.
It’s your dream.
No one else can do it for you.
