A good process produces good results.
The number one thing on any team that will keep your players from being selfish is respect for the other players.
Every choice, every decision, everything we do everyday, we want to be a champion
There is no continuum for success. Focus on the progress, not the results.

I don’t care what you did yesterday. If you’re happy with that, you have bigger problems.
Mediocre people hate high achievers, and high achievers hate mediocre people.
