And the only way to get stronger is to fail. That's right. It is not our successes that help us improve so that the hard things seem easy, it is our failures that propel us to that place. In this episode, Mackey breaks down why the most important lesson we learn from athletics is how to fail. Key Takeaways: -Athletics teach us how to fail.2020-05-2906 minCoach 360254. The Hidden Invitation with MackeyOften we view complaints as negatives. After all, complaints tell us what is wrong with the world, and who wants to be reminded of that? But this thinking is backwards. Complaints don't just tell us what's wrong. Complaints offer an invitation to make wrong things right. In this episode, Mackey reminds us that life is based on how we see things and that we can choose to see complaints as invitations for change. Key Takeaways: -Complaining is an invitation to get involved in something that is not right. -Life is full of invitations and complaints.2020-05-2705 minCoach 360253. Focus on the Little Things | Claude Mathis | De Soto HSDiscipline and accountability go hand in hand. We must hold our athletes accountable for their actions both when they are with us and when they are away. Our athletes represent our athletic program, which is essentially our brand. They are representing us when they are in other teachers' classes and when they are out with their friends. We hold them accountable for their behavior regardless of where they are because that is how we will instill discipline in them. In this episode, Coach Claude Mathis breaks down why discipline and accountability should be high priorities for any coach. ...2020-05-2515 minCoach 360252.

What Adversity Reveals with MackeyAdversity reveals a lot about us. It reveals the level of our integrity, our humility, and our toughness. During times of adversity, business is not as usual. That's why we are called to show either the best of us or the worst of us, depending on if we default to serving others or serving ourselves. In this episode, Mackey discusses how adversity exposes our true character and how we can make times of adversity reveal the best of us.

The Greatest Edge | Jeremy Reed | Yukon High School [OK]One of the greatest gifts we can give our athletes is helping them understand that they are playing for family. When they see their teammates as brothers and sisters, there is no limit to what they will do for each other. The greatest edge you can give your athletic program is a culture founded on family. In this episode, Coach Jeremy Reed discusses building a greater culture from the inside out.

Invitation to Grow with MackeyAdversity is something we're teaching our athletes to deal with every day on the field. The goal is to prepare them for when unexpected adversity strikes outside of athletics. We are all dealing with an adverse season right now. We can either rail against it, or put into practice what we've been trying to teach our athletes all this time: Adversity is just an opportunity for growth. In this episode, Mackey encourages us to use this time of adversity to become better, to invest in ourselves, and to connect with our athletes and other coaches (from a distance). 2020-05-0605 minCoach 360245. Real Love is Sacrifice | Kirk Sundberg | Valley Christian HS, AZLove is not weakness. Love is strength. Love makes you willing to die to self for your teammates. It makes you willing to serve them. Without love, there's no service, no selflessness, and no sacrifice As we've said many times before, sacrifice is required to find success. When you love your team and your teammates, you will sacrifice for them, and together, you will succeed. In this episode, Coach Kirk Sundberg explains that real love is sacrifice.

Dependability vs. Ability | 2Words.tv“Because I said so” isn’t just a statement of authority. It’s also a statement of dependability: Because I said so, it will be done. Dependability is all about doing what you say you are going to do. Dependability will always beat ability because no matter how much talent you have, it’s worthless if you can’t be depended upon to do what you said you would do. In this sample from the 2Words Character Development curriculum, Mackey lays out the difference between ability and dependability, and why dependability will win every time.

When we see someone smile or laugh, we want to smile and laugh with them. Complaining is also contagious, though. When we hear someone complain about the weather, it makes us realize it's too hot, too muggy, or too something when moments before we were enjoying a beautiful day. When we hear someone complain about a situation we're coping with well, we suddenly find it harder to cope. The words that we use and the things that we do are contagious to others.

Do Today's Work Today with Colton and MackeyOur work adds up a little at a time until we reap big results. But if we don't put in our little bit of work today, that little bit rolls to tomorrow, which pushes tomorrow's work to the next day, just like a snowball begins to gather mass as it rolls down the hill, until the work has piled up into an overwhelming heap.

When they mess up a play in the middle of a big game, that's on them. After all, we're not the ones playing; they are. But, we have to remember that every kid responds to constructive criticism differently, so the way that we address accountability and hold each athlete accountable for their actions will be slightly different. To get to the point where we know how to hold each of them accountable, we have to know our athletes on an individual and personal level. In...2020-03-1620 minCoach 360228.

For that reason, "Speak the Truth" is one of the laws of the Depend Upon Brothers (DUB) concept used by the football program at Whitehouse High School.
