There will be real consequences for our world if this generation of coaches fails to finish strong. You are that generation, and you have a great responsibility to your athletes, your family, and future generations to prepare the leaders in your locker rooms for the world they will face tomorrow. Part of that preparation involves teaching tomorrow's leaders how to finish strong. In this episode, Mackey dives deep on what it means to finish...
2020-06-1207 minCoach 360260. Why Character Matters with MackeyHaving a 5-star talent is not as important as having a 5-star character. Talent cannot take you very far without a solid foundation of good character. Talent can also only take you as far as your character will allow. So in that sense, character is both a foundation and ceiling. This is just one of the things that makes character so important in our lives. In this episode, Mackey breaks down why character matters. Key Takeaways: -Character is a talent amplifier. -Character is both a ceiling and a foundation. -Character will limit how far...

That's why a movement grew on social networking sites and turned into protests in the streets. The movement is people, black and white and everything in between, coming together to say "This is wrong and I will not remain silent." In this episode, Mackey addresses current events related to systemic racism and his perspective on why we have to keep fighting until it's gone. Key Takeaways: -We have to call right right and wrong wrong. We cannot allow wrong to be normal....

In this episode, Mackey encourages us to look past the overalls to the opportunity underneath. Yes, there will be hard work involved. But if we do today's work today, we will reap the benefits of growth tomorrow. Key Takeaways: -If we want to get where we want to go, we have to do what we don't want to do. -Do not miss the opportunity of growth because...
2020-06-0305 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.
