MARK GOTTFRIED INSTAGRAM CAROUSEL

When Brett and I sat down, we talked about the power of sport in building communities. In England, football clubs are everything—rising and falling with promotion and relegation. Win, and you move up. Lose, and you drop. No tanking, no off nights—just relentless competition. 👏🏼

Brett shared how they took Ipswich Town, a historically great club that had been relegated twice, and fought to bring it back. That’s the beauty of the system. Could we see it in the U.S. one day? Listen in. ⚽️

Did you catch this episode with Coach Arians? 🏈🎙️

Bruce Arians always knew how to bring out the best in his quarterbacks. With Peyton, it was about information—he couldn’t get enough. Every meeting had to be packed with details, every scenario covered. Tom was the same way, always asking, ‘What if this happens?’

Ben? He was different. He studied hard, but when it was game time, he just wanted to play. Arians trusted him so much, he’d let him call plays in the no-huddle. Few quarterbacks earned that level of trust.

Great QBs aren’t just talented—they’re prepared. And Arians knew exactly how to push the right buttons. #QBMindset

When speaking to corporate groups, I emphasize the power of stepping beyond our own bubble. Success isn’t just about personal achievements—it’s about how we uplift those around us.

True fulfillment comes when we shift our focus from ‘me’ to ‘we,’ using our resources, knowledge, and influence to create meaningful change. The greatest leaders and innovators understand that impact goes beyond individual success—it’s about leaving a legacy that benefits others.

Real success isn’t measured by what we achieve alone, but by how we lift others up. 💡 Step outside your bubble, make an impact, and leave a legacy that matters!

As a former Alabama player and coach, I believe it’s time for a new basketball arena. Coleman Coliseum has served its purpose, but an upgrade would show recruits, fans, and the community that the university is committed to basketball.

Having coached in the SEC and ACC, I know firsthand the impact a top-tier facility can have. The momentum is there—let’s make it happen.

Alabama fans, I know the season didn’t end the way we wanted, and there’s a lot of noise around Kalen DeBoer. But let me tell you this—he’s a winner. He’s proven it everywhere he’s been. Greg Byrne didn’t hire him for one year; he hired him to build the next great era of Alabama football.

It takes time to shape a roster, to implement a system, to establish a culture. But there’s no doubt in my mind—Kalen DeBoer and his staff will get it done. Trust the process. The future of Alabama football is in good hands. #RollTide

Looking back on my time at Alabama, I’m incredibly proud of what we accomplished—#1 rankings, Elite Eight runs, and SEC championships. But I have to say, Nate Oats has taken the program to a whole new level. His ability to recruit nationally, utilize NIL, and build a system that fits his style is nothing short of impressive. The way his teams play—fast, dynamic, and unselfish—makes them a force to be reckoned with. Alabama basketball is in great hands, and I couldn’t be more excited for the future. Roll Tide! 🏀 @alabamambb @nateoats

Coaches are hired to be fired—but sometimes, what’s really needed is patience. Mike Brown turned the Kings into a disciplined, hard-playing team and was NBA Coach of the Year just 18 months ago. Decisions like this remind us how often the game needs perspective over impatience. Disturbing move by Sacramento.

🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎉

As we celebrate this holiday season, I’m reminded of why I do what I do. With 35 years of Division I basketball coaching experience, I’ve developed the G-I-D approach: Grit, Integrity, and Desire. It’s a mindset—a “get it done” mentality.

When asked recently why I speak to teams, organizations, and individuals, the answer was simple: my goal is to inspire, motivate, and challenge you to become the very best version of yourself.

Here’s to an amazing holiday season filled with joy, reflection, and purpose. Let’s step into the new year ready to grow and achieve!
