One of the major themes throughout was focusing on the process instead of the results. It is not a new concept to me personally, but one that I find really interesting. It is very easy to talk about conference championships, national tournaments, and national titles. However, any competitive person in sports should not have to be motivated about these things. Below I have some quotes and thoughts from the book.
-There 5 goals for the National Championship Season (At LSU)
1.Be a team-Together Everyone Accomplishes More
2. Work to Dominate Your Opponents
3. Positively affect our Teammates
4.Individual Responsibility for self Determination
5. Be Champions on and off the field
- It's not about having the best players--it's about being relentless in the pursuit of your goal and resilient in the face of bad luck and adversity.
- We simply focused on the process of being champions
- An opponent should never determine your level of competitive spirit (A new personal favorite of mine)
- We are responsible for what we create, not the other team.
- Do not look at the scoreboard--dominate for 60 minutes
- Champions take an attitude of dominance everywhere they go.
- Our commitment, character, conviction, and attitude allowed us to do what we needed to do as a team to achieve at the highest level.
- 3 foundations for building a championship team in sports and business: Developing a good product, knowing the competition, TEAMWORK.
- 5 core values: Discipline, commitment, Toughness, Effort, Pride
- Climb the mountain, but watch your step
