The power of family. I watched a video recently of Steve Kerr talking to his team about asking Roger Federer what made him so great at tennis? He said he gets up early and has breakfast with his wife and kids, takes them to school, off to practice, and at night it's dinner with the family, homework, etc. The point was it wasn't about working harder and longer than the next guy at all expense, it was finding the joy in life which included the family.
When I watch the team take the field, they have the look of confidence with little or no doubt about what they are doing. That is a product of great coaching and being prepared from the staff. The thing that I believe more than ever as I study people that I feel are successful, is the strong family bond and support system. I think Chesney really brings that element that goes beyond what's on the field. And very authentic. Very strong bond amongst the players.
