The biggest thing baseball taught me: It’s life in a uniform. Good days, bad days, and everything in between. Let go of what you can’t control. And commit to what you can. Your effort, attitude and response to failures will continue to shape who you are. So keep stacking days.

Build ur red-light awareness. Mental—what are u telling yourself when you’re out of control? Physical—how does ur body feel? Situational—what triggers it? Red means stop. If u stay in red, you beat urself. Reset, regain control, & get back to ur process before it costs you.

Build your yellow-light awareness. Mental—what are you telling yourself when you start to slip? Physical—what changes in your body? Situational—what triggers it? Yellow means check in. Adjust before it becomes red—slow down or step on the gas and get back in control.

Green-light awareness. Mental—what are u telling urself when u r at ur best? Physical—how does ur body feel when u r locked in? Situational—what environments or moments bring it out? Green means go. Routines get u there, stay there, & perform at ur best when it matters most.

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo: "The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

Recognize ur internal traffic light. Green means go—stay locked into the present & your process. Yellow means adjust—slow down or step on the gas. Red means stop—you’re out of control and need a reset. The best performers don’t ignore the signal. They recognize it and respond.

Change your clothes, change your mentality. What you wear can be a trigger. A simple routine can shift you from who you were to who you need to be. Don’t just get dressed—step into a mindset. The right routine helps you show up focused, present, and ready to perform.

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

Routines create the mindset needed for success. They help u transition—from student to athlete, from work to home—so u can show up the right way. Think of an hourglass: funnel in, perform, funnel out. Where can a routine help u become more consistent?

THE FOUR R’s OF PEAK PERFORMANCE Routines create consistency. Recognize your signals. Release negativity. Refocus on WIN—What’s Important Now. Master these four, and you stay locked in, present, and ready to perform when it matters most.

I’ll take it a step further, the average person has no idea how good the average college starter is at any level 💯💯💯💯

THE THREE P’s OF PEAK PERFORMANCE Peak performance lives in three places: Be Present. Trust the Process. Stay Positive. When you focus on today’s moment, commit to the work, and control your mindset, you give yourself the best chance to perform at your best.

TRAIN YOUR GREEN ASSASSIN Confidence is built on evidence. Too often we rush past our wins and move on to the next goal. But those small victories matter. Take time to remember them. Your past wins are proof of what you’re capable of—and fuel for the belief you need today.

Your mind hosts a battle every day. The Red Assassin feeds doubt, fear, and negative self-talk. The Green Assassin feeds belief, focus, and confidence. Mental toughness is training the green voice to win. Win the battle in your mind and performance follows.
