Something I noticed when I visited China was public schools always started their days off with a run. A school in Naperville, Illinois, did an experiment on this and called it "Zero Hour". Before school, students would hit the gym at 7am and push their heart rates to 80% of their max. Then went on to do class. The result? Reading scores doubled. Math scores jumped 20x. On an international test, Naperville 8th graders finished 1st in science (beating Singapore) and 6th in math globally. Some of my entrepreneur clients swear by doing cardio in the morning. They say it keeps their brain sharp. I don't disagree. Cardio isn't just for your heart. It's brain fuel. Exhaust the body to sharpen the mind.

62% of D2 football players that entered the transfer portal have retired. 79% of D3 athletes. 🤯 The grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

Kids raised in coaching households learn things you can’t teach in a classroom. Resilience.
Teamwork.
Sacrifice.
Character.
Problem-solving. They don’t just watch you coach games.
They watch you lead people. And that lesson lasts forever.

Super Bowl 🏆 Champ and Hall of Famer @EReed20 on accountability as a teammate, respecting the game, and "how you do everything, is how you do anything" is pure leadership cinema: 🛒 The way you do the small things is the way you’ll do the hard things. Championship habits live in the details people naturally overlook. It’s returning the shopping cart, cleaning your locker, putting your clothes where they belong, not because someone told you to, but because respect is a standard you carry, not a rule you follow. Those “little things” trickle into your preparation, your performance, and your outcomes. 🛶 Your habits are not a personal choice, they’re a team obligation. Someone is always downstream from your discipline. When you’re consistent, you make the people around you better. When you’re careless, you make their job harder. That’s what accountability really means. 🟰 Standards are the great equalizer. Draft status, contract, role... it doesn’t exempt you from the work. Belonging to something bigger means we all meet the same bar, every day. Not because it’s fair, but because it’s necessary to be champions. The 2013 @Ravens standards were the invisible and unspoken contract of their team: honored in the quiet of their smallest habits, revealed in the chaos of gamedays, and ultimately the difference between a group that just shared a locker room and one that now shares a LEGACY. 🏆

You should not be missing school workouts…. School workouts come before your trainer, 7v7, or anything else!

This is what 400 calories looks like. Same number. Two completely different outcomes.

HS sports: Lifting with your team 2x/wk in the off-season doesn’t always guarantee you will win a title. It just increases your likelihood of success. But not training with your team 2x/wk in the off-season almost always guarantee that you will not win a title. It wildly decreases your chances of success.

Alabama football director of performance, David Ballou What would be his biggest tip to young athletes trying to get to the next level? “A lot of people work hard… it’s the people that work hard & are able to stack nutrition & sleep & those things on top of it.” Listen up:

Strength training is linked to better grades Among 67,281 students, at 4 days/week: ↑ 42% higher odds of better literacy grades ↑ 39% for math ↑ 31% for English Benefits peaked at 4-5 days/week.

There are two types of people: those who love A Tribe Called Quest, and those who need to listen again.
