Champions of Character Character Driven Coach

Today's sporting culture defines success as winning and being number one. "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing" is a well-known quote in sports. That short little phrase has been used in countless pep rallies and locker-room speeches.

Although winning has its importance and many times it is tied to job security, winning cannot be the end result of your life's work. Long after the score board has been shut off and the stopwatch put down, how we influenced the lives of those we coached will matter most.

Be honest with yourself as you evaluate how often you apply the five core values.
