We had a great teaching moment in our first few months here. A picture from a party popped up on Twitter with four or five of our players in it. One was holding an alcohol bottle, and the others had alcohol all around them. Our players put it out collectively and didn’t find anything wrong with it. We had a team meeting over that particular picture. I’m sure a lot of our players were grumbling, “We’re having a team meeting for this?”
In the meeting, I asked them if I put up a picture of my wife Heather and I posing with alcohol and asked them, “What would happen to me if this got tweeted out?” One player mentioned I may get fired. One said it would be another black eye for the program. Some said it would make me look fake. Everyone agreed it wouldn’t validate what we do, or the culture we’re establishing here. The lesson was simple: You have a choice in the decisions you make. You don’t have a choice in the consequences that come your way. Let’s make the smart choice in our decisions. I won’t sacrifice doing the right thing for wins. I will hold players accountable
