Character

Success begins with character. High character individuals have honesty, integrity, discipline, and inspire trust through action. Model character. 

Former Speaker of the House John McCormack didn't like everyone...but he held everyone in high regard. But some he viewed with "minimal high regard." 

Coach Starkey shares thoughts from Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich. Here are a few excerpts: 

"Being able to enjoy someone else’s success is a huge thing."

"For potential draft picks, we go to high school practices and to college practices to see how a player reacts to coaches and teammates. The phrase that we use is seeing whether people have “gotten over themselves.”

"The worst thing you can do is let it go when someone has been egregious in some sort of way. The young kids see that and you lose respect and the fiber of your team gets frayed a bit."
