Jim Harbaugh passionately talked about the significance of gratitude in a person’s life. He stated, “Outdoing others in honoring one of your players or coaches is very biblical. It’s about lifting others rather than pushing them down.” His words illuminate his essence of authentic leadership, which is rooted in humility and gratification. Unless a player or a coach is already grateful for where they are, they won’t be able to project where they can be.

When he drew parallels, Jim Harbaugh shared an exciting correlation between growth and compound interest. He remarked, “Getting 1% better daily takes 100% effort, but the benefits are exponential.” Harbaugh elaborated, “If you can get 1% better every day for 100 days, you’ll be twice as good as before.
