If you define yourself by the title of coach or boss, you’ll never earn real trust from your players or employees.

No matter how many good deeds we preform, they aren’t the ticket to earning God’s favor. God graces us in spite of what we do in this life, not because of.

We should feel grateful instead of entitled. We have a moral obligation to give back.

Respect your fellow human being, treat them fairly, disagree with them honestly, enjoy their friendship, explore your thoughts about one another candidly, work together for a common goal and help one another achieve it.

It takes time to earn trust and it takes time to learn to be open enough to work in at team in an effective way so that every contribution is "valuable" regardless of your personal opinion.

But our players know. This is still Baltimore. They still have some good players, and their coach challenged them and they responded.
