Way of Champions Podcast
“This year's team had something much more powerful than any year's past teams did: culture and identity.Our weekly meetings were held on Mondays to remind us what our North Star was and how we could get there. Collectively, the team held each other accountable, stayed connected and was able to play for the guy next to him over a 30 game season. This was an extremely proud group who loved each other and played like our opponent didn't belong on the same field as us. Our successes this season are greatly credited to our commitment to each other and a safe environment through trust and our circle.”
