Written By

Kirby Smart just won his second straight national championship at Georgia. Here are the 4 program values that sustain his culture.

Resilience

  • Fight through when you feel the urge to succumb to pressure or hardship

  • Practices are tougher than games/Extra weight sessions in-season

  • Prepare for the tough times before they happen - anticipate adversity

Composure

  • Check your emotions

  • Focus on the next task

  • Come together with your teammates

  • Coaches hand out "composure cards on the sideline"

Toughness

  • Practice is a battle. Very physical, they don't hold back. In pads 3 days a week.

  • Confronts undesired behavior immediately

  • Either you are in or out

Connection

  • Team activities called "Skull Sessions"

  • 15 minute meetings - discuss history lessons, business case studies, that relate to tough times during games

  • Building bonds amongst players

The 4 values come down to:

  • Overcoming adversity

  • Living up to a program standard

  • Staying disciplined in tough times

  • Developing deep connections

Great strategies for any teams.
