Brian Schottenheimer, recently appointed as the Dallas Cowboys' head coach, reflects on a motivational slogan from high school urging hard work. He believes in the importance of work ethic and the need to combat complacency in football. Schottenheimer's philosophy revolves around 'grit,' symbolized by a tattoo on his hand, which he hopes to instill in his team. As he prepares for the upcoming offseason, his focus remains on building a dedicated and hardworking coaching staff and communicating his values to players once permissible under league rules.
At the end of the day, I'm huge in work ethic, and I look for that in people because I demand that from myself. I really believe you can outwork people in every endeavor, but certainly in this business because people tend to -- for different reasons -- get kind of complacent.
The word I probably use more now is 'grit.' That's why it's tattooed on my hand. Absolutely each day, like, 'Hey, get up and bust your ass to achieve your goals.'
