Stephen Mackey explains that it takes expectation, equipping, and encouragement to teach students and athletes to be accountable. You can have a very high standard but if you don't teach them how to achieve it, they will never do it, and can't be held accountable. Set the standard high, hold it, and don't lower it by teaching kids how to be better.
