What's on your bingo card? Every coach says the same things, sometimes in different ways. Every team has its own lingo, it's lexicon. At our level, we didn't hear ice, show, blue, drop, through, hedge, veer, or a lot of other jargon.

- Put out the small fires
- Control the locker room
- Keep a pulse of the team
Keep the water out of your boat

Normal looks for limits, elite breaks them.
Elite doesn’t stop when it’s hard—it stops when it's done.
Normal is satisfied with good, but elite is obsessed with greatness—no stopping, no settling. pic.twitter.com/oaAmPHN5Ti
