The Be M.A.D.E. Culture Builder Bracelet Framework
The Foundation:
15 Zero Talent Characteristics
Fifteen characteristics. Available to every athlete. Required at every level.

THE ZERO TALENT CHARACTERISTICS (ZTC's)
THE GREAT EQUALIZERS
Some athletes will always be bigger, faster, stronger, or more naturally gifted than others. Some will have more stars, more offers, and more attention before they ever step on a college field.
But nobody has a monopoly on attitude, effort, discipline, accountability, coachability, toughness, consistency, or being a great teammate.
Those things don't require you to be the most talented player in the room. They require a choice, repeated often enough that it becomes a habit.
That's why I call them the Zero Talent Characteristics. They give every athlete something they can control every single day, regardless of the talent they were born with.
The best part about the Zero Talent Characteristics?
Nobody gets to decide how good you become at them except you!

What are the culture builder bracelets?
Here's what you need to understand:
The bracelets are NOT trophies.
They are NOT participation awards.
And they are NOT permanent.
They are a responsibility.
Receiving a bracelet means your teammates and coaches believe you are currently representing that characteristic.
The keyword is CURRENTLY.
The bracelet doesn't recognize what you did once.
It recognizes the standard you consistently choose to live by.
The goal is for every player's lifestyle to ultimately revolve around mastering each ZTC
The objective is not to keep a bracelet.
WHEN THEY MOVE QUICKLY, WE KNOW THE STANDARD IS STARTING TO TAKE HOLD!
The goal of this system is NOT to create better bracelet holders.
The goal is to create better teammates.
The Be M.A.D.E. Culture Builder Bracelets Carriculum Broken Down
THE BRACELET ISN'T THE CULTURE.
IT'S A TOOL THAT TEACHES PLAYERS TO BUILD IT, LIVE IT, & PRESERVE IT.
1. No "feelings" allowed- Real athletes thrive in an environment where they are constantly held accountable and constantly expected to hold others accountable.
2. No "Too cool to care" athletes- Any athlete who is afraid to be seen putting their heart and soul into what your team is building, needs to find a change of attitude or find a different way to spend their time outside of school.
