    • Accountability and Consequences: Awareness and ActionRecognizing past mistakes and taking responsibility can lead to positive change, while neglecting accountability can result in severe consequences, as seen in Russell Brand's YouTube channel, the Sara Sharif murder trial, and the increase in potentially dangerous consequences in schools.

      Accountability and consequences are crucial, whether in business or personal matters. In the news, Russell Brand's YouTube channel was taken down due to allegations of past sexual misconduct. Georgina Bailey, a former partner of Brand's, encouraged victims to come forward and make amends. Meanwhile, three family members are facing trial for the murder of 10-year-old Sara Sharif. The number of schools with potentially dangerous concrete structures has increased, and the government is pushing for mandatory safe staffing levels in various sectors, including healthcare. These stories highlight the importance of acknowledging past actions and ensuring safety and accountability for all.

    Ep. 26 - Summitt - Admit Your Mistakes

    Today's quote comes to us from one of the great women's basketball coaches of all time, Pat Summitt. Heck, Pat Summitt is one of the great coaches of either gender and for any sport of all time. She also has numerous quotes that I have used through the years, and her book "The Definite Dozen" is a great book for leaders of any kind to read.

    Today's quote is in the Accountability section of my soon-to-be-released updated version of my book, "Senior Salute," a gift book for coaches to give to their senior athletes on their senior nights or end-of-season banquets. Accountability is one of those key characteristics that people need to have if they (and their teams) are going to ever improve and reach their potential. Summitt says, “Accountability is essential to personal growth, as well as team growth. How can you improve if you're never wrong? If you don't admit a mistake and take responsibility for it, you're bound to make the same one again.”

    Have you ever known anyone who believes they have it all figured out and can't be corrected? Do you have any players like that? Are you like that? Here is the quote to get in front of those people and then discuss with them what it means to help them finally figure out how they are hurting themselves and their teams with the attitude they are displaying. Check out the episode to hear my ideas on the quote to then turn around and use with your teams, friends, fellow coaches, and possibly, yourself.
