On Thanking Your Teammates, Not Sacrificing Your Principles, and Doing the Work
September 7 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
Thanking your teammates is not much more than simple intelligence.
Acknowledging others’ efforts builds teamwork and team spirit.
Whether you point at a good passer or give a “high five” or merely nod in a way that the crowd doesn’t even notice, your gesture will get through to your teammate, and both of you will benefit from the exchange.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“People become leaders when they make the decision not to sacrifice their principles on the altar of convenience or compromise.”
– Myles Munroe
LIFE PRINCIPLE
“Do. The. Work.
Every day, you have to do something you don’t want to do. Every day. Challenge yourself to be uncomfortable, push past the apathy and laziness and fear.
Otherwise, the next day you’re going to have two things you don’t want to do, then three and four and five, and pretty soon, you can’t even get back to the first thing.
And then all you can do is beat yourself up for the mess you’ve created, and now you’ve got a mental barrier to go along with the physical barriers.”
– Tim S. Grover
