Did you hear the whole quote?Completely agree with this. Thought I was being a real Scrooge in not liking that thought process. Yeah, every locker room has their own vibe, you’re always building the culture, yada yada…but at the end of the day you have to earn the right to consider your building The Standard by which to judge against. Until you surpass the standards set by the rest of the league, your building isn’t good enough when you’re rebuilding. Until it is. But acting like you’re only competing against yourselves…I don’t know, that feels a little soft to me. I know that’s not how they mean it, and in our everyday lives, “control what you can control” is healthy. But I want my professional gladiators to have more of a “I will control YOU” mindset in their building.
It really didn't come across that way when I heard it. It was somewhat buried at the end of a long-ish answer. I actually think he came off as somewhat defensive and a little feisty when listening to it.
