If you're leading a high school sports team, you understand motivation isn't just a buzzword—it's the heartbeat of your team... Here’s how to keep that pulse strong: 1. *Set Clear Goals:* Guide your athletes in setting specific, achievable targets. 2. *Celebrate Small Wins:* Acknowledge every bit of progress. It fuels the desire to strive harder. 3. *Foster Team Spirit:* Cultivate a culture of camaraderie and trust. As an advocate for high-performance teams, I’m dedicated to helping athletic directors and coaches build teams that don’t just play but thrive. Imagine a season where every player is engaged, every effort is recognized, and every goal fosters unity. 📈 **Are you READY to see your team soar?** DM me the word "READY" and let’s chat about how we can accelerate your journey to success. 💬 Share your thoughts and experiences below! 👍 Like if you found this helpful.

A simple Monday thought 💭 ... ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ’ꜱ ɴᴏ ꜱʜᴀᴍᴇ ɪɴ ʜɪᴛᴛɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇꜱᴇᴛ ʙᴜᴛᴛᴏɴ. Growing up, I spent countless hours playing Madden football. While it’s still a favorite, I’ve recently been hooked on EA Sports’ College Football 2025. In these games, there’s always an option to restart, especially when you’re down by a couple of touchdowns. I’ll admit, when I was younger, I hit that “restart” or “start over” button more times than I’d like to admit because I wanted to win – not lose. But here’s the thing: just like in sports video games, life gives us the same option. We can restart whenever we need to. No matter what challenges or setbacks you’ve faced recently, remember that starting over isn’t a sign of failure. It’s a chance to begin a new chapter – one that could lead to a better, more fulfilling outcome. You’re in control of your own game. So, if today feels like the right time to hit that reset button, go for it! It just might be the best move you make. #motivationmonday #careers #freshstart #keepgoing #careeradvice #newchapter #newbeginnings

𝐆𝐨 𝐔𝐭𝐞𝐬!--𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦--𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲! October is college football time! As a University of Utah alum and lifelong Utes football fan, there’s something special about game day that goes beyond the field. Whether it’s the roaring crowd or the heart-pounding plays, taking a break to enjoy a Utes game is more than just a tradition for me—it’s a passion. I’ve had season tickets for over 10 years, and it’s been a thrill traveling to games with my family, from Notre Dame to Arizona. We’ve built so many memories around cheering for the team we love. Growing up in Utah, where the Utah vs. BYU rivalry runs deep (my family was split down the middle!), I learned early on that football is more than just a game. It’s a passion that keeps me energized and grounded, even when life gets busy. Making time for what you love, even when we’re buried under deadlines, isn’t just a luxury—it’s fuel. Whether it’s football, a favorite hobby, or just a moment to unplug, these little breaks keep us grounded. They don’t just restore our energy; they bring balance to the madness and remind us why we work so hard in the first place. And here’s the real kicker (pun intended): this goes beyond personal well-being. At LSI, when we empower our teams to pursue their passions outside the office, we see the results firsthand—more engaged, creative, and productive employees. It’s like giving them a game-changing, fourth-quarter boost! So take a minute, unplug, and follow your passion! Grab that ticket to productivity! I’ll see you at the stadium–Go UTES!! What’s your go-to passion that helps you recharge and bring your best self to work? #SarahUnfiltered #Leadership #WorkLifeBalance #EmployeeEngagement #Productivity #Teamwork #PersonalGrowth #PeakPerformance #PassionAndPurpose #GoUtes #CollegeFootball #Motivation

“We do not learn from experience … we learn from reflecting on experience.” - John Dewey Our experiences - both good and bad - make us who we are. Though it’s not simply because we have them but because of the meaning we take from them.  It’s all too easy to get caught up in the checklist of task accomplishment without building in time to reflect on what we learned and how it contributes to our worldview. We tend to easily apply this to physical performance (armchair quarterback, anyone?) In any sport, a key part to improving is the post-game. What happened? What went well? What didn’t? How can I take what I learned and improve next time? We don’t always ask ourselves those questions about our work/life experiences. Just like the post-game, we have to intentionally build in the time to reflect. Otherwise, we can easily fall into a pattern of “Why does this keep happening?” Just because we experience something doesn’t mean we’ve learned from it. Today, our lives are full of experiences - some big, some small, some self-driven, some imposed on us by our environment. When our experiences are so numerous, and we are constantly presented by bits and bytes of information, FOMO happenings, and a lot of noise diverting our attention, remember to make time for your post-game and reflect on your experiences. #TimeWellSpent

Champion teams are intentional about how they plan, practice and play! Gleaning insight from touring the impressive Headquarters for the Dallas Cowboys, Team ClearVision Optical noticed so many finely tuned details and relevant business parallels.

100% blacked out at this moment. Apparently I told him I was a camp counsellor... 🤦♀️ HOWEVER, what I do remember is what he shared about playing on the legendary 1992 NBA All-Star team. Surrounded by the greatest to ever play like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson Enterprises faced a WONDERFUL dilemma every ball player dreams of: "Who the HELL do I give this ball to?!" We talk a lot about skills vs jobs in this industry, and I thought this was a perfect lesson in skill over position: 💪 Flex roles: Players like Jordan adapted to multiple responsibilities, breaking the traditional boundaries of their positions in the regular season. 🧠 Strategic play: The coaches crafted strategies around player strengths, not just predefined roles. 🔄 Cross-training: Each player having SO many skills allowed for a more fluid and interchangeable lineup, enhancing team adaptability. 🏃♂️ In-game adjustments: Being able to shift strategies mid-game based on the current play and opposition's weaknesses, using players in unconventional ways to gain an advantage (not that they need ANY MORE of an advantage). 🏀 Player empowerment: Encouraging players to make decisions based on THEIR judgment and skills allows them to take control, be proactive and share the ball. TLDR: What Magic experienced teaches us something vital about team dynamics: Forget "That's not my job." Think flexibility and making every role as dynamic as a position on a court of All-Stars. This approach maximises potential AND empowers teams to make game-changing decisions. #KirstenLovesASportsAnalogy #ZeroWastedPotential Reejig Siobhan Savage 🌎 Hailey McDonald

In the world of sports, we've all seen those jaw-dropping comebacks that make us want to pump our fists and shout, "Anything's possible!" Think about legends like Lance Armstrong, Schalk Burger, Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan—each with their own incredible stories of bouncing back from the brink. Whether it's bouncing back from a career-ending injury or staring down a life-threatening illness, it's clear: it takes serious grit and a whole lot of hustle to make a comeback. Having personally weathered significant setbacks, I've come to view them not as stumbling blocks, but as springboards for epic comebacks! 💪 Cultivating a resilient mindset enables us to navigate any challenge with determination and grace. It's not merely about evading setbacks, but rather, about the soaring ascent from them. #ComebackLegends #ResilienceRising #GritAndHustle #FromSetbackToSuccess #NeverGiveUp #TheComebackStory #AthleteResilience #OvercomingAdversity #MindsetMatters #PerseverancePaysOff
