Bill x The Art of War 🤺
1. “Every battle is won before it is fought.”
Belichick doesn't just prepare, he out-prepares others.
There are no small details to a champion.
2. Opportunities multiply as they are seized
3. "Attack weaknesses and utilize strengths."
"Figure out what the strengths are on your team."
Most teams try to be everything. The best teams soar to their strengths

LEADERSHIP: THE POWER OF TRUTH IN COACHING
Set the Vision. Hold the Standard.
Too many athletes struggle with confidence—not because they lack ability, but because they’ve been fed what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear.
Many coaches prioritize being liked over being honest. They sugarcoat feedback, hoping to build confidence, but all they create is false confidence—a fragile foundation that crumbles under pressure. This is what's backward about coaching in our society.
When the game is on the line, reality hits hard, and players realize they were never truly prepared.
Great leaders tell the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. They challenge their players & teammates, push them to grow, and hold them accountable to a higher standard.
Because coaching isn’t about being liked. It’s about making an impact.
"If you want to be liked... you better go sell ice cream, because coaching ain't for you."
