Reading:

Chapter 7 of "Legacy":

This chapter was about expectation.  The gist of the chapter was that if you set the expectation of being a world class team, then follow that by doing everything that you believe a world class team would do, you are in a great position to fulfill that expectation.  The chapter also talks about using fear of failure as a positive tool for motivation in preparation and practice.

This chapter offered some thought-provoking ideas.  I still believe that motivation and drive is fundamentally dependent on team personality, but this take was a bit different and interesting to think about.
