Thankful 30 - Day 21, Buckeyes

Today was a hard day to be a Buckeye. Nonetheless, I'm blessed to be one! My alma mater makes me proud. Not only do we have outstanding athletic programs, but also phenomenal educators, faculty, staff, students and community.

I am more proud each day to be part of the largest alumni network in the world from The Ohio State University. Next weekend, the best rivalry in college football will commence. Here's to the Buckeyes!

Strong leaders have discipline

There are many different types of leaders who have various characteristics and skills. One of the strongest types of leaders I have seen have discipline. This discipline is not just following rules or criteria, but having a firm understanding of how to grow themselves and others.

One of these leaders is Urban Meyer.

I don't discuss sports a lot. Frankly, I don't understand or follow them enough to do so. However, recent news about the Ohio State Buckeyes head coach and our football players has brought to my attention a valuable leadership trait.

Discipline comes from understanding and experience. As mentioned in another article, Coach Meyer acknowledges his players have made some mistakes. Now, it is time to learn from them.

Meyer is an experienced coach in football and leadership. He must share what discipline means to him with the players and facilitate that learning. Leaders are best know for influencing others. If Meyer can do that with his level of discipline as a coach and a mentor, the Buckeyes have great potential for the upcoming season.
