Success is a process.You're never there.You're never done.You're never perfect. The second you stop improving, you're no longer successful.

An email from Coach Sommer I revisit often: Hi Tim, Patience. Far too soon to expect strength improvements. Strength improvements [for a movement like this] take a minimum of 6 weeks. Any perceived improvements prior to that are simply the result of improved synaptic facilitation. In plain English, the central nervous system simply became more efficient at that particular movement with practice. This is, however, not to be confused with actual strength gains. Dealing with the temporary frustration of not making progress is an integral part of the path towards excellence. In fact, it is essential and something that every single elite athlete has had to learn to deal with. If the pursuit of excellence was easy, everyone would do it. In fact, this impatience in dealing with frustration is the primary reason that most people fail to achieve their goals. Unreasonable expectations timewise, resulting in unnecessary frustration, due to a perceived feeling of failure. Achieving the extraordinary is not a linear process. The secret is to show up, do the work, and go home. A blue collar work ethic married to indomitable will. It is literally that simple. Nothing interferes. Nothing can sway you from your purpose. Once the decision is made, simply refuse to budge. Refuse to compromise. And accept that quality long-term results require quality long-term focus. No emotion. No drama. No beating yourself up over small bumps in the road. Learn to enjoy and appreciate the process. This is especially important because you are going to spend far more time on the actual journey than with those all too brief moments of triumph at the end. Certainly celebrate the moments of triumph when they occur. More importantly, learn from defeats when they happen. In fact, if you are not encountering defeat on a fairly regular basis, you are not trying hard enough. And absolutely refuse to accept less than your best. Throw out a timeline. It will take what it takes. If the commitment is to a long-term goal and not to a series of smaller intermediate goals, then only one decision needs to be made and adhered to. Clear, simple, straightforward. Much easier to maintain than having to make small decision after small decision to stay the course when dealing with each step along the way. This provides far too many opportunities to inadvertently drift from your chosen goal. The single decision is one of the most powerful tools in the toolbox.

After acquiring DeAndre Hopkins, the Chiefs go from a team that was probably going to win the Super Bowl to a team that is probably going to win the Super Bowl.

Amazon has approved a true-crime documentary chronicling the story of a #Chiefs fan who turned into a bank robber known as "ChiefsAholic." The documentary, titled “ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing,” will tell the story of Xaviar Babudar, aka ChiefsAholic. Babudar himself is interviewed in the doc.

The Chiefs are an #NFL best 4-0 at Allegiant Stadium. Undefeated in Vegas. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes have as many wins in Vegas as any Raiders coaching/QB combo. They could hold the most wins by any coaching/QB combo at Allegiant with a win in two weeks. 👀 #ChiefsKingdom

For committed travel baseball players, that number is probably $6000/yr or more including team fees, training, hotels and meals out. Do that from 13U-17U and you're looking at $30K before factoring in equipment and lots of other things.

I would love to find a study that compares the amount of money families spend on their children's athletic careers K-12 with total scholarship money that college athletes receive. #youthsports

I'm off next week for the kids spring break and will have lots of reading time in the GA "mountains." Looking to read something soul-shaking, perspective-altering, and yes, enjoyable. Suggestions?

Are you that bad of an athlete that you have to feel great to perform well? Competitors fight, claw, battle and get it done. That's what it's about.
