Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel wants to keep the number 24 on top of his players’ minds as a reminder of the number of years since the franchise has won a playoff game. To keep it front and center, McDaniel starts all his staff meetings at 24 minutes after the hour: 10:24, 3:24, etc.
He told CBS News, “To achieve success where people predict failure, we’re going to have to go above and beyond.” Being intentional about staff meeting times is just one example of what he does to help remind his players of what is at stake.
Is there a key number for your team that you could highlight in nontraditional ways? Maybe you can take a lesson from McDaniel and link your goal or your nemesis to a start time. It’s a sure way to keep something prominent with regularity.
Thanks, Mike!
