Leading Tips

-

 

  • A bad habit is the result of repetition. Awareness is the key to breaking the cycle. First become aware of unwanted tendencies, then your awareness can help replace bad habits with good ones.
  • Make yourself aware of what motivates the leaders of your organization.
  • As important as what you do is the enthusiasm with which you do it.
  • Bad habits are your enemy. Starve them the fuel of repetition and they will begin to fade.
  • Associate with those who have a positive, passionate outlook on life. Their energy is soaked up by those around them.
  • What you get may be how you make a living, but it's what you give that defines you.
  • Be aware of your thoughts. You can choose to focus on the positive.
  • If you want something to happen in your life, visualize it happening. Make it your intention. Matter is thought materialized.

Jim Larranaga is a philosopher constantly in search of new ways to advance his unusual approach toward teaching and motivating his players. He is a man who reads books by Dalai Lama, quotes Confucius, Aristotle and Ralph Waldo Emerson in the locker room, starts practices by giving players
