If you get beat, unless you’re dead, you are not defeated and you have not failed. What you’ve done is you’ve learned. You’ve gained experience. And you’re still alive. And you have memories to make. So get up and go get after it. 177-1:22:47

Gruden is 100% right about Kirk Cousins here.. This is something I have STRONG feelings about. Reminds me of Tony Dungy in The Power of Habit: “Players spent their lives building the habits that got them to the NFL. No athlete is going to abandon those patterns simply because some new coach says to. Dungy didn’t erase habits — he kept the same cue, same reward, and just slipped in a faster, cleaner routine" That is what real coaching is all about. Too many coaches today put players in a box and pay zero attention to how they actually process information. They don’t take the time to understand a player’s strengths and maximize them. Something as “small” as changing footwork can completely screw up decision making and paralyze players. I’ve lived both sides and the bad one sucks. I had a coach who completely changed my entire vision of the game and demanded I change key fundamentals, keys, and reads. I tried to be the good soldier, stay coachable, and do it his way… and I played like absolute shit. Couldn’t play fast or confident because everything felt foreign. On the other hand, early in my career I had a great coach who looked at me and said: “I would never teach it that way, but you know how to make it work, as long as you can keep making plays like that - go ahead” That’s the difference. Certain coaches understand which details actually matter. The goal is to arm your players with the tools they need to play fast and instinctive, not build technical robots. I know I'm not alone on this one and plenty of players can relate. #NFL #Coaching #Gruden 👇

NBA superstar Victor Wembanyama (Wemby) broke into tears after the Spurs’ 25-point comeback against the Clippers. The “too cool to care” mentality is a dead end. Trying hard is cool. Pushing yourself to get better is cool. Stepping into the arena is cool. Caring deeply is cool. Somewhere along the way it became uncool to care. But this is nonsense. The only people who say it’s not cool to care are the people who are hiding their own fear of failure and insecurities. After Wemby collected himself, he told the media: “I thought I was going to pass out,” he said. “That’s close to being the hardest game of my life.” We respect others when they give it their all. And the same is true for ourselves. When you hold yourself back because you fear failure or looking “uncool,” you sacrifice growth and potential and mastery and fulfillment and intimacy and love (and all the other good stuff in life) for short-term safety and comfort. It’s a trap. Get over it. The best athletes care deeply. The best artists care deeply. The best leaders care deeply. The best coaches care deeply. The best teachers care deeply. The best doctors care deeply. The best writers care deeply. The best scientists care deeply. The best parents care deeply. Enough with the nonchalance. Try hard and give a damn.

@Challenger_ST Warm up

A quality warm-up is essential to athletic success... Here, you can see an example of one you can use before you sprint, especially at a combine! Are you unsure how to warm-up? I will send you a FREE warm-up guide with sample warm-ups! Just Retweet OR Comment WARM-UP

I’m in love with this sentence: “The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”

Mike Vrabel shares the biggest lesson he learned about coaching and it's not what you think. "The first year you think, 'Oh man, we're going to have some great scheme and it's all about scheme.'" "It's not about scheme." Schemes don't win. People do. "It's about figuring out and making decisions that are best for the team. Trying to gain a personal touch. It's about the players holding each other accountable." "Those are things that win - not plays...It's all about the players." The best coaches connect, care, and lead the people around them. They invest in their people and build trust. They know it's the balance of warm (connection) and demanding (accountability). (🎥NFL on CBS )

Discipline > Habits (It’s not even close.) Everyone chases habits. But what actually creates a habit? Action → Repetition → Habit No action? No repetition. No repetition? No habit. Ever. So how do you get the action started? Discipline. How do you keep repeating it long enough to wire it into a habit? Discipline. What happens without discipline? Different decisions → Different actions → Different (usually worse) habits. Output follows input. Habit is the OUTPUT. Discipline is the INPUT. Watch and see what happens. People who hunt habits fail. People who build discipline win. Build the discipline engine first. Habits come with the effort. Discipline always comes first. Discipline → Action → Repetition → Habit. Stop chasing shiny habit hacks and build the discipline that creates the habits you need.

Do hard things. Because there’s nothing better than a hard-earned win. The pain. The struggle. The adaptation. And then, the reward. The feeling of knowing that you paid the cost of entry for the thing you wanted to achieve. Doing hard things is good for the soul.

What you do in private always shows in public. Your reading shows in your vocabulary. Your diet shows in your energy. Your workouts in how you move. Your focus in your results. You are the sum of what you do when no one is watching.

"Life is all about habits and choices and decisions. When you have the right habits, you tend to make better decisions and choices. It's going to go a long way in determining what kind of person you are and how successful you are."
