Coach 360

In our latest episode, we're live with Coach Randy Thornton, Athletic Director and Head Football Coach at Hico ISD.

Coach shares the importance of understanding that each program is unique in the way they need to be coached. There can't be a one size fits all mentality when it comes to coaching. Coach shares the importance of focusing on the younger players and giving your older players the best opportunities to be successful as well.

Coach shares some of his program's values such as being a man of your word because your character will follow.

Key takeaways from this podcast:

• Say what you mean and mean what you say
• You've got to build that relationship before you can be a coach
• As a coach, you're no defined by the outcome

In our latest episode, Mackey is live at Alamo Heights High School.

Mackey breaks down some misconception about character and integrity. He explains that the pursuit of character, the pursuit of integrity does not mean that there is a lack of ambition.

Key takeaways from this podcast:

• Building character is not about a lack of ambition but about a deeper alignment of what matters most
• Focusing on character doesn't resign you to a participation trophy
• Ambition and character live in the same world

Our character aligns us with something more than ourselves. When we love our family, we'll do whatever it takes to succeed for their sakes. That deeper alignment between our goals, our family, and our character, moves us farther toward success than mere ambition ever could.

In our latest episode, we are bringing one out from the Mackey Speaks Leadership Journal archive. This episode is power-packed, so make sure a pencil is at hand!

Mackey talks about the idea of going the extra mile, and when you go the extra mile, your impact will be amplified. When you are willing to go the extra mile, when you are willing to do things that others are not, they realize that you are different. When you are willing to go the extra mile for someone and invest in them, that return on investment will come back and be a far greater commitment than you could have ever imagined.

Takeaways from this podcast:

• Invest in the long term, continually.
• There is no such thing as a viral moment
• Your standard operating procedure should be to go the extra mile

We often think of leadership as "going viral." We think that if we can just get that one big position, or that one perfect podcast, or write the perfect blog post, then I'll get noticed, and people will want to buy what we're selling.

But the problem with that thinking is that yes, a "viral moment" may get you noticed, but unless you've been putting in that "extra mile" effort, there's nothing under the surface. There's nothing for anybody to follow.

You've got to invest in the long term OVER AND OVER. You build buy in with a lifetime of extra mile effort, not buy a quick, flash-in-the-pan viral moment.

In our latest episode, we are bringing you an archived favorite from the Mackey Speaks Leadership Journal.

Mackey is bringing us a message he heard from Coach Braxton of Howard Payne University while out on the West Texas Tour a few months ago. Coach said something that made Mackey grab his pencil and start writing.

Coach said that whether you excel or whether you fall short and don't reach your goals, other people are going to identify you as a part of a team, and we will represent a team in our actions.

Key Takeaways from this podcast:

• You are a part of a greater team, so rep the brand well.
• In moments of anger, stop and count the eyes.
• Protecting your brand is not only a defensive posture, but it is an offensive posture as well.

Mackey encourages us to handle our anger, handle situations that may not be going our way well because there are people watching. We must continually remind ourselves to count the eyes. People will not only evaluate you, but they will begin to evaluate the brand that you represent, whether that is your team, your company, your faith, or your family.

If you are not okay with what you're doing being in the light, then don't let it live in the dark because what's in the dark will eventually come to the light.

Key Takeaways from this episode:

• Ask more from your coaches, athletes, and parents

• As a coach you have to realize it's never as good as it is and it's never as bad as it is
