We went live from the Factory of Champions in San Antonio, and this one hit different. In this episode of Inside the Genesis, we ground ourselves in gratitude and dive into a conversation that every official—and every leader—needs to hear: your expectations can never exceed your standards.
From the reps you put in behind the scenes, to the mindset you carry on and off the floor, we break down the gap between what you want and what your work ethic sustains. Expect insights on:
The difference between standards (your non-negotiables) and expectations (your desired outcomes).
How your Reticular Activating System (RAS) filters what you see and pursue based on the standards you set.
The “frustration gap” that forms when expectations outpace preparation.
Tools like the C4 Reset, the Inner Scoreboard, and the Stillness Standard to keep you grounded and regulated.
The message is simple but powerful: the game doesn’t give you what you expect, it gives you what your standards prepare you to sustain.
