I've watched nearly every video on Brett Ledbetter's whatdriveswinning.com and nearly every one is gold. Here's a good one featuring PJ Fleck from the 2016 conference: 

I can appreciate his approach to building a program from ground zero and I think it's a really good perspective to keep in mind. Here are a few quotes:

Row The Boat

Here's a good article written by PJ Fleck, head football coach at Western Michigan University. What impresses me most about Fleck is his capacity to stay on message. He's relentless. I've watched a dozen or so YouTube videos featuring Fleck and they're all the same. He was delivering that message at 1-11 in 2013; at 8-5 in 2014; at 8-5 in 2015; and he continues to deliver that message in 2016, on the verge of a perfect season. WMU's identity and process have remained the same since Fleck's arrival at WMU. Only results (and media attention) have changed.
