Definite Dozen--Hard Work

In our recent staff meeting we were discussing work ethic and work habits. One of our keys to success is not just getting our players to work hard, but to enjoy working hard, and to understand that there is a price to pay for everything.

Here are a few notes from some team meetings discussing The Definite Dozen and Hard Work:

• Mutual respect makes you work harder.
• Commitment to your teammates makes you work harder.
• Hard work is part of our culture here, maybe not at other places.
• The Law of the Farm--"Cows don't take days off."

Coach Meyer would always remind us to, "look for work." I remember Pat telling me one time while I was still coaching high school, that a lot of people look for jobs, but not many look for work.
