In 2021, the Baylor Men’s Basketball Team won a National Championship! In his book “The Road to JOY,” Baylor Head Coach Scott Drew talks about how they built a culture of JOY (Jesus, Others, Yourself) in order to become champions on the court and in life.


In this podcast episode in our series entitled “It’s Not About You,” I share why “playing with JOY” is so important on the court, field, office, home, and community and highlight 3 characteristics of people and teams that are joyful.


 



 


Show Notes:

  • The Road to Joy: Leading with Faith, Playing with Purpose, Leaving a Legacy
  • Fear of death versus the joy of living
  • Happiness is initiated and controlled by circumstances.
  • Joy is sustained by a deep, inner contentment. Joy transcends circumstances.

3 Characteristics of a Culture of JOY



  1. Lead with Faith

    • Be grateful for the moments.


  2. Play with Purpose

    • Teams that play with joy play for something bigger than themselves.


  3. Leave a Legacy

    • Knowing your purpose and defining Your Why allows you to persevere when things get tough and challenging.
