🌅 PUBLIC HOLIDAY… PRIVATE STANDARDS 💪🔥
While most of Brisbane was enjoying a sleep-in…
I made a different decision.
👉 5:30AM start. No excuses. No negotiation.
At TotalFusion Lions, it was game on.
💪 The Work
90-minute weights session.
Focused. Intentional. Disciplined.
Not because I had to…
But because that’s the standard I’ve set.
Because champions don’t take public holidays off…
They use them to get ahead.
🚶♂️ The Reset
Then out onto the Brisbane Lions training oval.
3km walk. Fresh air. Clear thinking.
While the world slowed down…
I leaned in.
💭 Message to Leaders, CEOs & Business Owners
Public holiday or not…
👉 Your habits don’t take a day off
👉 Your mindset doesn’t clock out
👉 Your standards don’t drop
Because success doesn’t care what day it is.
💡 Championship DNA™ is built when it’s inconvenient.
🔥 Everyone wants results… few are willing to separate themselves.
What did YOU do with your extra day? 💯
When the Head Assistant Coach Calls You Out… and He’s Right 😬
Today I got lovingly (but firmly) called out by one of the Head Assistant Coaches from the Brisbane Bullets.
The charge?
👉 Failure to show up.
Specifically… I missed a couple of corporate basketball activities that were designed for:
• our awesome NLR clients
• and as a reward for a few of our Group legends
In basketball terms, I didn’t just miss the shot…
I didn’t even get off the bench. 🫠
My excuse?
I didn’t want to embarrass you again in front of your team… 😜
(Old players, bad knees, selective memory — you know how it is.)
All jokes aside, this one landed.
Because showing up matters.
Culture matters.
Relationships matter.
And if you’re going to align with a professional sporting organisation, you don’t just talk teamwork — you live it.
So:
✔ Accountability accepted
✔ Lesson learned
✔ Calendar locked in
✔ No more “I’ll catch the next one” energy
Appreciate the nudge, Coach. Even the veterans still need a timeout and a clipboard chat. 📝🏀
Back on the court.
Back in the stands.
Back doing what matters.
