How to get through to people

Tell the cute ones they're smart, tell the smart ones they're cute

They hear the obvious all the time.

Undying Belief

"We can win the Super Bowl with Drew Stanton," Arians said. "There is no doubt in my mind."

Some Philosophy Things

1) Internalize everything

"The first rule of leadership is EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT!"

2) Window Principal

The moment you realize something is out of place or needs to be down, you have a window to take care of it immediately, if you don't it will be forgotten

3) Touch it once

To ensure follow through, the moment you touch something to work on it, finish it and touch it only once.

4) If you are anything, be Pragmatic

We only have a limited amount of time on this Earth, we should value every second and every effort to make the most of that time.

5) Does it make you money?  Does it make you Happy?

If it doesn't do either of these things, don't worry about it

Calapari's Key to player management

How would I want my son to be treated?

T Roos

What are you willing to give up to win a championship?

Are you willing to sacrifice your time?

Are you willing to sacrifice your body?

Are you willing to sacrifice shots?

Are you willing to sacrifice playing time?

What it means to be committed

All in= what can I do for the team, not what the team can do for me

Examples of kids who have sacrificed things for the good of the team

"You are responsible for your own happiness"

Things I learned......

Players shouldn't make things personal like playing time and coaching, its just business.

Are players truly coachable?  What is there attitude when told to change something?
Do they understand that you are trying to make them better.

Maturity vs Immaturity

When Jon Taffer walks out

Always chase after him and show desperation and urgency

never pity

true strategy

true strategy is not necessarily that you have followed preordained steps, instead its putting yourself in a position where you have more options than your opponent.

Elevate yourself above the battlefield

Tactics are what you do to fight the battle in the moment, reactionary

Strategy is what you do to achieve victory in the long term

by elevating yourself above the battlefield you allow yourself to make long term decisions strategically, knowing when to fight and when to run.  Allowing you to reach your goals instead of just being reactionary.

How to be a Hero

Internalize everything, make it all your fault.

Don't allow yourself or anyone else to be a victim.

If the only thing you learn from some thing is "life isn't fair" then you need to try harder to find something you could do differently.

The Inverted U Curve

From Malcolm Gladwell's David and Goliath

at some point, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing

the affect of increasing income stops making people happier at about 75 grand

3 strikes your out only deters crime to a certain extent, criminals don't behave rationally.

at some point your efforts will have diminishing returns


The same efforts that made a difference at first will stop working at a certain point

Nick Offerman Book

Always retain the mentality of a student, this will save you from bitterness and keep you moving forward.


Make your life happy, and then auditions will become easy because you will have something nice to go back to if it doesn't work out.
