What is your team’s “Mission Statement?” 🎯
Sean McVay’s: URGENT & Enjoyable..
“We want to create an atmosphere & environment that is urgent & enjoyable that INSPIRES competitive greatness.”
So, when you are part of a McVay practice, the atmosphere will be joyous, energetic, urgent, and competitive.
Who you are as a coach should come out in your ‘mantras’ and in your practices.

Sean McVay on Perspective as a Coach 🗣️
Every team has a best player. Only ONE team wins the championship 💍
The questions to ask:❓
What is the best player doing to create championship conditions for their teammates?
Is your best player the most committed to your core values?
How can you get all your players to buy into their roles, especially the leaders and best players, to help your team be at its best?
Great leaders consistently accomplish the mission and take care of their team - Eric Kapitulik
