I just went and rammed my mother ******* head through a locker. Sweet Mother of Moses this cat can motivate.
Totally agree.......Now think about this. What we are seeing is what happens when you have someone that is a great motivator working with student athletes that are highly motivated. Literally the sky is the limit.
Anecdotally, Lou Holtz (then at ND) was asked one time how he motivates his team with the pressure, expectations etc. His reply was brief but poignant. He said "That's simple, I get rid of the unmotivated players."
Thoroughbreds want to run with other thoroughbreds. They don't want to hang around donkeys.
Campbell has shown us that the right culture matters and is important, and you do it with 5* people (notice I didn't say "players"). When you give and give and give to something that is bigger than yourself, eventually you get in return (similar to CMC's process talk).
Personally, the closest I have come to this was in the military and a lot of the concepts / applications are the same.
Great time to be a Cyclone!
