4 things that are 100% in your control:
Your attitude
Your effort
How you treat people
What you focus on
Lead yourself better.

I’m convinced that reliability is the most underrated trait in life. You’ll achieve much more by being consistently reliable than by being occasionally extraordinary. Show up. Do the work. Repeat. The recipe for success in every single area of life.
Going to be a fun year…
The best is ahead!

Steve Kerr says Roger Federer taught his Warriors team the secret to sustained success wasn’t outworking everyone, it was building a life around your craft you never want to escape from
“I’ll tell you a great story about Roger Federer. We were playing in China with the Warriors in 2017. Roger was in Shanghai for the Masters tournament, so we invited him to come speak to the team.”
“Draymond Green asked him, ‘How do you sustain success? How have you managed to win majors 20 years after you first won one?’ Everyone was expecting him to say, ‘I work harder than everybody,’ the will, all the clichés.”
“Roger Federer says, ‘I get up every morning and I make breakfast for my kids. Then I take them to school and drop them off. Then I go practice tennis for about two hours, and I’ve figured out a really good routine where I don’t destroy my body, but I can get all the work in I need.”
“‘Then I go have lunch with my wife. In the evening, we cook dinner together. The kids are all home from school. We ask them about school. There’s so much joy in the house. We put them to bed, and then I put my head on the pillow and go, “Man, that was just a great day.” And I’ve been doing that for 20 years.’”
“And it was like, yes. That’s it. That’s the formula. That’s what leads to sustained success. He loves tennis. He loves his family. He loves life. It’s not outworking everybody and banging your head against the wall, ‘I’m going to be better than everybody.’ It’s allowing your natural talent to shine through with a work ethic, with a great family life, with perspective, with peace, with mindfulness.”
“It’s perspective. It’s joy. It’s passion. It’s mindfulness. It’s an awareness that we are truly lucky. To get the most out of ourselves, it’s our daily rituals and experiences and love and joy.”

“It’s one thing to know the process.
It’s another thing to be disciplined enough to be able to go execute it.
All of us want to go from A to Z.
Everybody wants Z.
Most people are not willing to do the work B through Y."

Authentic leadership doesn’t come from mimicking others; it comes from a deep understanding of your values, strengths, and purpose. When you know who you are you will have more power to do what you do.

The real power of leadership lies not in what one says but in how one lives. Your actions, not your words, set the standard for everyone around you. If you aim to inspire greatness, be an example. A leader’s actions don't just influence culture; they create it.
High academic, high character, & hyper-competitive. A winner at the point guard spot who makes others better around him with his leadership & toughness.
