Quote from Good To Great by Jim Collins
“People want to be part of this spinning flywheel; they want to be part of a championship team; they want to be part of a first-class culture. When the cross-country team posts yet another championship banner in the gym, more kids sign up, the gene pool deepens, the team gets faster, which produces more championships, which attracts more kids, which creates even faster teams, and so forth and so on, in the infectious flywheel effect.”
- Jim Collins, Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't

Quote on Culture from Doug Petrick
“Culture is what keeps the program progressing as each season progresses.  All athletes contribute to the culture of the team in different ways- by actions, by words, by contributions, by being ambassadors of the program.  We keep a positive culture by modeling learning, evolving, and positivity as coaches.  We use intention to support contributions by athletes that move this positive culture forward.”
