"How much responsibility are your players willing to take? The more responsibility they assume, the more successful they’ll become. Some people look at a difficult situation and say, “That's not my concern.” Others look at the same situation and say, “I'll make it my concern. I'll do something about it.” Guess who ends up being more successful? There are plenty of perfectly reasonable and legitimate reasons to avoid responsibility. So why would anyone choose to assume responsibility? Because choosing to take responsibility means choosing to achieve, choosing to succeed, choosing to make a truly positive difference. Many players get by fairly well without assuming much responsibility. But is that really what you want for your players…just to get by? The next time you see players running away from responsibility, make them choose to run towards it."
