Love how these players, when asked what it means to be captains, say WE matters more than ME. #teamidentity #greatleaders t.co/TCPkzwFNvS

Tactics and techniques only get you so far, whether at amateur or elite level. Especially in youth sport, there is a far more important priority. #teamidentity #highperformance #coachforconnection

High school aged athletes often have a tough time having the conversations needed to create strong #teamidentity That doesn’t mean we avoid them. Instead, be a role model and teach the skills they need to have powerful conversations. #highperformance

The biggest obstacles to coaches working on #teamidentity with their teams are 1) Self confidence and fear of awkwardness 2) Not believing in return on effort. Solution: model learning and risk taking; be patient. Aligning belief takes diligence and time.

Teams say they want #psychologicalsafety. It doesn’t happen when the boss or a few team leaders declare it so. It happens when there is discussion, agreement, accountability and mistake sharing, for starters. Result of collective behavior, not a meme. #greatteams

Coaches, leaders: How much discomfort are you willing to accept so that others, the team, can grow? How might you be selfish for US?

Players leave teams because they think the grass is greener somewhere else. A good question to ask is, what is the grass like here? What should players and parents expect? What is expected of them – for themselves for the team? What are they part of that matters, beyond winning?#teamidentity

I just finished a video project where I interviewed dozens of players & coaches who were inducted into their high school hall of fame. One through-line: the connection between teammates + clear team identity. If you think that can’t happen in your team, who are you to under-believe?

Diversify your sources of meaning.

If your sport or job is the be-all end-all of your life, you are making yourself fragile.

Any failure becomes an attack on your self-worth & status.

All-in looks good on social media. A robust sense of self works better in real life.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Let’s see how that recruitment program goes over with college students. Also, so much for high school test scores!

Here is what we need to know about #tariffs. No one country can operate in isolation. We live in a connected world. That is a critical assumption as we approach economic growth and trade policy.
