1. Relentless effort - almost all sports reward effort & hustle! 

"Competing is choosing to give full effort and full focus to the next action, regardless of situation or emotion. Generally, people don’t stop competing because they don’t care or because they lack effort. They stop because distractions and noise get in the way." Steve Cutter

1) Know the game never ends

2) Always give 110%

Showing up daily with relentless discipline, consistency, and mental toughness, refusing to quit when it's hard, and outworking everyone through preparation, not relying on natural talent alone to achieve peak performance and win over the long term, often prioritizing team success over individual stats

"Relentlessly destroying opponents mentally and physically through obsessive work, taking their will, and constantly striving to be better than yourself, viewing it as a constant process of improvement, not a destination, fueled by passion and fearlessness to fail" Kobe

Compete:

Competition is the greatest thrill a person can experience because it forces them to overcome challenges en route to becoming the best version of themselves.

John Wooden considered enthusiasm a foundational, contagious passion that transforms hard work into exceptional performance. As a cornerstone of his Pyramid of Success, it fuels enjoyment in daily efforts, preventing tedium. He believed genuine love for the task inspires others and is necessary to reach one's full potential. 

With all levels of your co-workers. Listen if you want to be heard. Be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way.

John Wooden defined loyalty as a core, central element of his Pyramid of Success, emphasizing it as a "cohesive force that forges individuals into a team". It consists of three key components: loyalty to oneself (acting on personal values), loyalty to those depending on you, and maintaining self-respect. It requires unwavering commitment, especially during tough times.
