Mike Vrabel on the most important thing he's learned about building a culture in the NFL. "I've learned that we can have different personalities. We can't have different mentalities." Strong cultures don’t ask people to be the same. They ask people to commit to the same standards and non-negotiables. 📹: Bussin' With the Boys

For all of you “athletes” running away from … or trying to hide in the weight room… this is a pic of the GOAT - Michael Jordan. LIFTING … all season long and YES, regularly on NBA GAME DAYS. Note: Read what MJ’s trainer said in pic below. Note: pic and story Credit IB Network and Tim Grover KEY!!! **** Lifting helps wake-up and ignite your nervous system to be ready to compete! You don’t have to go ballistic (no maxing out in-season), but you should get your body ready to perform at an elite level!!!! … while maintaining strength that you will critically need throughout the entire season to be at your best. Of course continue to execute flexibility routines, eat healthy, hydrate, and put your phones away at night and sleep. 8 plus hours if possible. @nextlevelbb @DirtBroUSA

Kevin O'Connell on why excuses are easy to find when you're looking for them. "Any excuse you can find they're out there. There are excuses falling out of the rafters...Are you looking for it? Or are you immune to it?" If you’re searching for reasons, you’ll always find them. If you’re searching for solutions, you’ll find those too. One of the most reliable separators in high performance is taking ownership when it would be easier to explain yourself with excuses or reasons. 📹: Vikings

Hey athletes 2026 starts in 2.5 weeks Do these things & you’ll be a different person by June: 1. Sprint 3-4x per-wk 2. Lift heavy 3-4x per-wk 3. Max jumps 3-4x per wk 4. Also do all 3 on one leg/in different planes of motion 5. 5-10 g of creatine daily 6. Daily protein intake of 1g per lb of BW

Jimmy Johnson said, "Fatigue makes cowards of us all." "When you're tired - you make mistakes, you don't do what's right, and your will to win all of a sudden starts to waver." It makes you vulnerable. It removes your discipline and your drive to succeed.

The lie we tell ourselves. “Once we win one I’ll be happy.” - Sean McVay Winning doesn’t fill the void. It just moves the finish line. The real joy? The grind. The growth. The people.

"Why would you ever give less than your best after you lose and don't get a result that you want? You want to know why? Because you will stay a loser. You'll never realize everything that you are supposed to be...and never impact all of the people you are supposed to impact."

If I was a HC, here is the convo I would have with my QB: Whenever anything goes wrong with the O/team you always take the high-road & take the blame for everything! Use the words “I” & “We” all the time! If you will do that, I promise to come out and explain why the INTs happen!! I’ll explain the details, what’s on you and what’s on others and what details we could have been better on to help you, etc… I’ll never leave you out there to take the blame, or FULL blame, when there are nuances & other factors that need to be explained! I’ll have you’re back when you are my guy & you have our back - we will be closer and more accountable and better as a team bc of it!

The Seahawks are an upgrade over Anthony Bradford away from being the best team in the NFC There’s just no way Christian Haynes isn’t better than this guy

THE MARINERS ARE GOING TO PLAY FOR THE AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP! #SeizeTheMoment

Dan Campbell said, " You can’t just say we’re going to believe and not put the work in." "I think the belief comes from the work you put in and doing all the little things right." Your self-belief comes from action. It comes from doing the work.

Great leaders think like farmers.

Remember : Every emotion is okay. Every behavior is not. Elite performers feel everything—frustration, disappointment, pressure. But they don't act on impulse. They regulate. They reset. They respond with intention. Because bad body language doesn't just show weakness... It drags the whole team down.

Let them go!! They are just slowing you down from the best version of yourself.
