RT this if your team went 15-0 and shut up every single hater on the planet on their way to a National Championship.

The POWER 5 kid wants that NIL💰so he enters the portal. The FCS kid dreams to play in a stadium where there are 100k fans.🏟️ The D2 kid wants to be a D1 athlete.🏈 The D3 kid wishes he received an athletic scholarship from a D2 school.📚 There are kids who didn’t get a chance to play the game after high school. They watch games and wish they could play at any level. Think about it, if you are playing the game at the next level you are one of the few. Be grateful for ANY opportunity‼️

The Dom Perignon of elementary school.

In 1980, Steve Young was the 8th-string quarterback at BYU. He was on the scout team and was continually getting beat up. He was frustrated and ready to quit. Steve called his dad and said, "I'm done...This is crazy, I'm coming home." His dad's response changed his life because he said, "You can quit, but you can't come home. I'm not living with a quitter. You can decide for yourself." Steve said his bags were already packed and he would have run home in a second. He said that moment changed his life because it made him look inside himself and his willingness to be resilient and gritty. The decision was made to stay and he had to stick to it. That summer, he was moved to safety because the offensive coordinator (OC) said he would never start a lefty and Steve was having trouble throwing the ball. While on defense, he would watch how the starter, Jim McMahon, would throw the ball. Steve realized that he was throwing improperly and he adjusted his technique when practicing. At the same time, they switched OC's and the new coordinator wanted to give Steve a shot at the backup QB position with his improved technique. From there, the rest was history. He used the next year as a backup to learn everything he could from his coaches and Jim McMahon. In 1983, he was a unanimous All-American and was enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2001. Takeaway 1: Grit isn't talent or luck, it's the ability to have stamina and endure. Steve Young's journey demonstrates the power of grit and perseverance. When faced with adversity, he learned the power of perseverance from his father. His opportunities only came because he was there and ready for them. It highlights the importance of tenacity and determination in pursuing your goals, even when the odds seem stacked against you. Takeaway 2: A growth mindset starts with the belief that your abilities and intelligence can be developed through hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Steve Young's throwing journey started when he recognized his weaknesses, such as his improper throwing technique, and rather than succumbing to self-doubt, he embraced the opportunity for growth and improvement. By learning great technique from Jim McMahon, he developed the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in his position. “The principle is competing against yourself. It’s about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.” - Steve Young

The email from @footballinfo hits the nail right on the head

Bulldogs win on homecoming and set a new program record for points in a game!

Today's homecoming timeline! Tailgate lots open at 11 am!

Just woke up after flying late last night to Durham (for ND/Duke) from Green Bay and my first thought after getting up and into the shower was “The @Lions are a damn good team that’s gonna be fun to watch every week!”

Dogs are headed to Indy for their last tournament of the summer playing an age up, in the 11U PBRT World Series. Time to finish what we started! 💯 #X2EAT

@chemicbaseball Congrats Coach! Hit Hit Win

We often talk about how many games Tony Gwynn didn’t record a strikeout. To put it in perspective, out of 2440 career games, he didn’t strikeout in 1970 of them.

This interview is by far the most EPIC I've ever seen by a young person/college athlete.

Whenever your teacher rolled this sweet bastard into the classroom the "No more learning this afternoon!" celebration was fucking ON …

This is awesome news and recognition for the back-to-back @NCAADII National Champion @FerrisFootball team. #FerrisForward #FERR1S
