He has RISEN!!!

Only following people who agree with you is a recipe for confirmation bias and groupthink. Critical thinking depends on listening to people who question your assumptions and challenge your conclusions. Learning is the product of engaging with a range of thoughtful views.

High school coaches are expected to be champions, recruiting consultants, film scouts, & relationship managers — on top of teaching 6 classes a day. For pennies on the dollar. Some good ones are walking away. That’s a problem nobody’s talking about.

"Four brave, talented men who do not know each other will not dare attack a lion. Four less brave men, less talented, who know and trust each other, will attack resolutely." ~African Proverb Trust=POWER Trust is the foundation of great teams. Trust allows teams to compete fearlessly for each other.

@jimshapiro Remember the BIG TIME is not a place or a job title, it’s the state of your heart ❤️!!! You’re making the big time where you’re at! #frosty #EMAL

I’m very disappointed that my name is not on this list.

In life you’ll be tested often. You will fail. You’ll face setbacks. You’ll often get discouraged. But the key is to: Stay faithful. Keep working. Get better.

Ego is the fastest way to lose your team. Ego disconnects you from your team. Ego says you are more important than them and it’s about me not we.

Let your trust be greater than your doubt, your faith be greater than your fear and your purpose be greater than your challenges.

Cooper Kupp said, "I'm going to go earn it again, every single day." "I think that's the difference, I've never stopped this mindset of earning." Entitlement is the enemy of hard work. It's expecting rewards that you haven't earned. Cooper Kupp shares a masterclass on earning it and how to overcome entitlement. "Once you start saying 'I deserve it' - that's when the 'I've arrived' mindset starts to happen." "I didn't deserve the opportunity...I didn't deserve Eastern Washington. I didn't deserve the NFL. But I've worked to earn an opportunity to go attack it." From small-school recruit to Super Bowl MVP and he still doesn't think he deserves it. "At no point during that journey...did I then say okay I'm there now, like I've done enough, like I've arrived and now I deserve to play." That's the trap. The moment you feel entitled is the moment you stop earning. "I've never stopped this mindset of earning...every year ends and I feel like there's just a little more, there's more we can do. I got to go earn it again." Entitlement is the enemy of hard work. It's expecting rewards you haven't earned. It's the delusion of deserving without doing. The best never feel like they've arrived. They earn it every single day. How they eliminate entitlement: 1. Shift from "I deserve" to "I earn" - Success isn't owed. It's built. 2. Act with humility - Stay coachable. Stay hungry. 3. Embrace growth over status - Focus on getting better, not on what you think you deserve. 4. Earn it daily - Compete. Bring energy. Every single day. 5. Know your sacrifice - Commitment has a cost. Pay it. It reminds me of a quote from the Clemson strength and conditioning coach: "They don't put championship rings on smooth hands." Nothing is given. Everything is earned.

Tom Brady On Bringing Energy To Practice If you always bring positive (or negative) energy to practice, you players feed off it for good or bad.

My one word for 2025 was "RESTORE," and I was!! I cant wait for my 2026 word! @JonGordon11

Today is the greatest Throwback ever. 26 years ago - on Dec. 18th 1999 - we completed a journey that took us to Oregon, Iowa, Minnesota, Texas, and Virginia. We won 5 consecutive road playoff games - I don't think it was ever done before and I don't think it's been done since at any level of football. Hard to believe it's been 26 years. #morethanchampions

The silent killers of team culture aren’t dramatic. They are small. Ignored. Repeated. - One player always late - Excuses nobody challenges - Poor effort that slides unnoticed - Side conversations during meetings By the time you see the damage? Trust is gone.
