Nearly four years ago, Future was 10 of us in a basement and hardly any members.
“One Day We’ll Help Millions.”
First week be damned, I told that to anyone who’d listen.
Today, we’ve built the best coaching team in the world.
Yeah, I said it!
Now, let me tell you how…

Now, let me tell you how…
With a lifetime in elite sport, culture—I’d always been told—is everything.
Still, finishing both 1st and last, I learned firsthand; people are your culture.
Undeterred by the fact nobody even knew we existed,
I began writing the values that would define how we win.

I began writing the values that would define how we win.
Why values?
Because, culture—while it may sound nice—is subject to change at any moment.
Winning heals all wounds, but what if you’re not yet winning?
People—and, the values they live by—are the very crusaders who fight to grow a ‘culture’ befitting of champions.

Powerful mantras are carelessly thrown around when we discuss teams and culture.
It all *feels* good.
Yet, without personal meaning attached, these words ultimately fall short..
And, ring hollow.
Values, on the other hand, drive the decisions you make when adversity hits.

Easy enough.
Surely there’s a one-size-fits-all set of values that determine success across any endeavor.
Then again, if @RobertIger and @elonmusk have taught us anything; it depends upon the quest.
So, what then, would be the values to achieve our mission.
And, every hire?

Others First: It’s not about me
Quite simply, we’re trying to help the 80% of our population who are not active enough, or at all.
Nothing else has worked.
For us to win, we can’t have egos and individual agendas.
Help others; that’s it.

Be Relentless: Work until...
Work to the point of obsession and they call you crazy.
But, as some guy once said, “it’s the ones crazy enough to believe they can change the world who actually do.”
Anything less and you’ll be mediocre; at best!
To win, we do whatever it takes.

Positive Vibes: Don’t kill my vibe
Not being fake, simply maintaining an awareness over what you say and how you say it.
Every one of us will have our days—or weeks even—where we’re frustrated and upset.
Still, our collective majority must ALWAYS remain positive.

Be a Giver: No keeping score
There are 3 types of people: givers, takers, & matchers.
Givers do whatever they can, whenever they can, because they can, to help others.
It’s that simple.
Instead of credit, we must win together - positive sum mentality.

Yes, And: Never “no, but”
Stealing from improv;
To arrive at the best ideas, we must be open to the awful and crazy ones.
Doing so creates an environment where everyone’s voice is heard.
In turn, we protect against the loudest voice, or the HiPPO winning the day.

Simple, yet powerful, these five values define our team.
Not because we talk about them, because we are about them.
We screen for them meticulously.
When we find coaches who embody them, we recruit passionately.
And for those reasons, we will win...

So that’s how we built the best coaching team in the world.
Of course champions in sport & business—though uncommon—are formed in many ways.
For me, ‘Legacy’ by James Kerr has been a tremendous resource to find a winning formula.
