Coach K once said, "During critical periods, a leader is not allowed to feel sorry for himself, to be down, to be angry, or to be weak."

They respond with grit.

1: Attitude
Coach K said, "It is on you to have a great attitude."
You can't control external events, but you control how you respond.
• Your attitude is a choice.
• Positive anything > negative nothing.
Will you ask: "Why me?" or "Why not me?"

2: Belief
Coach K said, "In order to get better, you change limits."
It means believe in yourself, your team, and your potential. Know there will be adversity.
Coach K would ask: "Do you believe that you can figure it out?"
If you don't believe you can then you won't.

3: Preparation
Once you have great attitude and belief, preparation is where success begins.
Coach K would ask 3 questions:
• How can you change that?
• How will it be different this time?
• What did you learn from your setbacks?
Success lies in how you prepare and work.

4: Execution
You have to commit and deliver.
It means taking ownership of yourself, your actions, and your outcomes.
Coach K said, "You can have the best game plan in the world, but if you don't execute, it doesn't matter. Success is not a random act."
