i liked tip 2. I want to model grit and look for more to learn.
I like the tip about modeling because it helps your team and can improve your teamwork.
I like the tip about modeling grit and character to your teammates because I think it is important to be a leader.
I loved all the tips and how the video showed the meaning of grit. But I personally think that tip #3 is important because it gives a purpose to what your doing and without that you may feel like their is no purpose in what your doing.

This video shows what having grit really means. I personally like tip number 8. It shows that you should finish a goal before moving on to the next one. The video shows you that if you want to get better at something, you have to work hard.
