Look around. The world is full of common people. Everywhere you turn you can find the ordinary. Most of the time there’s nothing wrong with the ordinary, or average. However, for myself, I fear being average. I don’t want to be average because no one remembers average. My goal is to be an uncommon individual, raise uncommon children, and educate uncommon students and athletes. Recently our character education word of the week for football was uncommon. Our goal is to build uncommon young men and football players. This week I am going to share three things with you that will help our young people be uncommon people and uncommon athletes.
Tony Dungy is a coaching, marital, and parental role model of mine. The three points I am going to share with you this week come from his book, Uncommon. I highly recommend it.
The first step to becoming uncommon is realizing that what you do when no one else is watching matters. The word to summarize this statement is discipline. Discipline yourself so others won’t have. Wake up when you’re supposed to wake up. Work when you’re supposed to work.
