We speak a lot about “culture” and strive to create a winning culture with the Liberty Basketball program.

We’ll define culture or winning as:

  1. What you allow
  2. What you emphasize
  3. Every Day
Here are the 6 Habits of Winners:
1. Winners Stack Days
Winners show up every day. It’s not about going all out once in a while but about consistency. Small, daily actions compound over time. Whether it’s in the gym, the classroom, or in your mindset, showing up EVERY DAY beats sporadic intensity.
2. Winners Focus on the Process, Not Just the Results
Winners don’t obsess over outcomes—they focus on the steps that get them there. The journey is where growth happens. By locking in on the process, they make success inevitable by constantly improving what they can control.
3. Winners Embrace the Struggle
Winners don’t shy away from challenges or discomfort. They know that growth happens in the tough moments. When others quit or back down, winners lean in. They understand that pain and struggle are part of the path to greatness.
4. Winners Adapt and Adjust
Winners are flexible. They don’t stick to a rigid plan when things change – they adapt. Whether it’s a new strategy, an unexpected challenge, or setbacks, winners adjust and keep moving forward.
5. Winners Stay Humble and Hungry
No matter how much success they’ve had, winners never think they’ve “arrived.” They remain humble, knowing there’s always room to improve. And they stay hungry—constantly pushing themselves to improve, no matter how much they’ve already achieved.
6. Winners Have Mental Toughness
Winners build mental resilience. They don’t let failures define them, and they don’t allow external pressures to control their mindset. They train their minds as much as their bodies, learning to stay focused, calm, and confident in any situation.
Winning is a way of life. It is a lifestyle. Winning comes down to your daily habits.
