Discipline is all that this team needs to preach, coach, and drill in.
It needs to become a way of life. Off the field, in the weight room, locker room, class room, and it'll show up on the field.
Discipline.
True story:
We had a hockey team that had reasonable talent but we were losing. We did not have an identity.
Our coach defined us and said from this point forward our identity is that we are the most disciplined team in the league.
He then delivered an insane speech and went all in on discipline.
I'm talking, guest speakers, books, podcasts, signs on walls.
It just drilled into us at our core.
Everyone bought in because this was within our control. This could move the needle immediately.
We became each other's discipline accountability partners.
It worked. We started winning. We kept winning.
We eventually beat teams with much more talent.
This is what this Michgian team needs.
