Quiet Strength


I love sports, I love studying great coaches and I love seeing someone who can find that switch that makes things go & tick! Tony Dungy in his new book Quiet Strength (incredible book) shared some principles that he shared with his Tampa Bay squad while he was coaching there. He noted that in the book that the Tampa Bay team had a history of losing and of having a losing attitude - these principles are right on the money.......

  • Be a pro
  • Act like a champion
  • Respond to Adversity;don't react
  • Be on time. Being late means either it's not important to you or you can't be relied upon
  • Execute. Do what you're supposed to when you're supposed to do it. Not almost. All the way. Not most of the time. All of the time.
  • Take ownership.

Whatever it takes.
No excuses, no explanations
