This one flag changed my life. Duane Sweeney, the starter of the 500 in the 80’s and half of the 90’s, gave me this flag in 1990. It set destiny in motion and I hope it is a clear example of what one kind act can do to change a person’s life.
I think I’m going to use this flag for a car or two on Saturday which will be a gigantic thrill, but also might choke me up a bit.

We talk about big/strong/fast being the Packers type at EDGE, but LVN and Rashan Gary each also had awesome 3-cone times for their size.
LVN 7.02 at 272
Gary 7.26 at 277
Dani Dennis-Sutton had a 6.9 at 6055, 256 while broad jumping 10'11.
That is INSANE.

Former NFL Linebacker Will Compton was PREACHING in this segment with @NDFootball about Creating Evidence. A must watch regardless of title, age, or industry: 👮♂️ You start with BELIEF, you stand on EVIDENCE. Facts don't care about feelings. When you get there, nobody cares HOW you got there, they care about how you can HELP. 👨⚖️ One Rep ➡️ One Day ➡️ One Week ➡️ One Game ➡️ One Year. At the end of the year, you're graded and judged by the evidence of your WORK. Evidence doesn't just arrive, it's acquired and accumulated everyday. It’s never one moment, it’s the accumulation of all of them. 🏷️ Let Proof Override Labels. Creating Evidence isn't about running from the truth, it's about creating so much proof that past labels become irrelevant. 🧵 Everything matters. Every rep has meaning. Even when you can't see it. Too tired, too emotional, too worn out to see or hear it, but it still means something. So you must TIE meaning to it. The smallest action either adds to your case or subtracts from it, tie purpose to all of it. 🖋️ Facts are permanent, but they do not define who you are, or who you have to be in the future. The truth is the starting point, not the ceiling. Face it, use it, and build forward, the obstacle is the way.

Geno Auriemma shares how he explains success to his players and why showing up isn't enough.
"If you go to class and you do average work, you're gonna get a C. That's why it's called average."
"If you want a B, you have to do more work. If you want an A, you have to do even more work and you have to give up stuff."
You get what you earn in life.
"You have to sacrifice. Maybe you can't do all the things that everybody else does."
It means if you want more then you have to be willing to do more.
"If you're just happy getting Bs all your life, there's nothing wrong with that either. But you're never gonna get the satisfaction of what it feels like to get an A."
Then he connected it to basketball:
"If you just wanna be average, then you do average work. If you wanna be a little bit above average then you do a little more work."
"If you wanna get As in basketball, then you gotta do stuff that other people aren't willing to do - especially if you have the talent like we do. We have talent."
It means bring a mindset of excellence to everything that you do. Excellence isn't the goal - it's the standard you set.
Then he called out the entitlement problem:
"Some of these younger guys coming out of high school, man, they wanna show up and go, 'I'm here. Where's my 3.7?'"
"Like my father used to say, 'I got your 3.7 right here.'"
Showing up doesn't earn you anything. Doing the work does.
You get the grade you earn - in school, in basketball, and in life.
It's easy to be average...successful people look to compete in everything they do.

Jensen Huang just reverse-engineered why Elon Musk operates at a speed no one on the planet can match.
Three traits.
The first is deletion.
Huang: “He has the ability to question everything to the point where everything’s down to its minimal amount.”
Most engineers solve problems by adding.
Musk solves them by subtracting.
Every part. Every process. Every assumption that survived because no one had the nerve to kill it.
He picks it up. Asks if it’s load-bearing. If the answer is anything less than absolutely, it is gone.
Not simplified. Not optimized. Removed.
What survives is the skeleton. The bare physics of the problem. Nothing between intent and execution.
Huang said it plainly.
As minimalist as you could possibly imagine.
And he does it at system scale.
Not at a product level. Not at a department level.
Across entire companies. Entire industries. Entire supply chains.
He strips a rocket the same way he strips a meeting. Down to the load-bearing walls and nothing else.
The second is presence.
Huang: “He is present at the point of action. If there’s a problem, he’ll just go there and show me the problem.”
Not a Slack message. Not a report filtered through four layers of people who weren’t there when it broke.
He walks to the failure. Stands over it. Puts his hands on it.
Most executives have never seen the actual problem their company is trying to solve.
They have seen slides about it.
Read summaries of it.
Formed opinions about it in rooms that are nowhere near it.
Musk stands over the broken hardware and does not leave until it works.
That collapses the distance that buries most organizations.
The gap between something breaking and the person with authority to fix it actually understanding what broke.
In most companies, that gap is weeks.
For Musk, it is hours.
The third is the one that bends everyone around him.
Huang: “When you act personally with so much urgency, it causes everybody else to act with urgency.”
Every supplier has a hundred customers. Every vendor has a dozen priorities. Every manufacturer has a backlog stretching months into the future.
Musk makes himself the top of every single one of those lists.
Not by demanding it. By demonstrating it.
When the CEO shows up at your facility at midnight. When he is moving faster than your own internal team. When his timeline makes yours look like a suggestion.
You do not put him in the queue. You rearrange the queue around him.
Huang watched this up close.
Huang: “He does that by demonstrating.”
Not by asking. Not by negotiating. Not by leveraging a contract clause.
By moving so fast that everyone else’s normal pace feels like standing still.
Three traits. Strip everything down. Show up at the failure. Move so fast the world rearranges around you.
That is not a management philosophy.
That is why one man runs six companies while entire boards cannot keep one moving.

Rick Pitino shares a masterclass on teamwork and selflessness.
"Regardless of how you play, when you play for the name on the front, the back prospers."
"When you play for the name on the back, you never prosper. All you are is guys with good stats. That's it."
Stats don't win championships - teams do.
"Play for the front. Give everything you have for the front name."
"Do everything - from diving on the floor, to blocking shots, to setting screens, to playing together. Play for the name on the front."
Great teams play for each other. They know connected teams achieve more.
"The name on the front is gonna bring big rewards for the name on the back. I guarantee it."
"Give it everything you have for this name."
The formula is simple: Put the team first, and everything else follows.
Play for the front. The back will take care of itself.

Ayrton Senna's two fastest flying laps during the 2nd quali session of the 1989 Japanese GP. In the 1st lap, Ayrton was 1.3s faster than the field. Not yet satisfied, he returned to the track & beat his own time by 1s with a legendary braking & downshifting maneuver on the Casio.
