What is the best thing I learned in the NFL? An investment mindset:

@maxlugavere How do you feel about sunfiber?

There’s no evidence that the majority of fiber supplements do anything. But the wellness industry isn’t ready for that conversation.

Dad life comes with a lot of challenges.  Weight gain, sleep problems, low energy, and no gym. Luckily for you i’ve got the solutions.  Weight gain: You’re not a garbage disposal so don’t act like one. Also no snacks between meals, and ESPECIALLY before bed. Sleep problems: You need a bedtime routine, just like your kids. I like the Bible and blue light blockers. Low Energy: Consistent fuel and hydration is key here, plus making sure you’re absorbing all your nutrients. No Gym: You can get a lot done with body weight, and if you can investing in a little at home gym equipment goes a longgg way. Comment: Goals and I’ll let’s talk about customizing these strategies for your life. #dadlife #dadproblems #nflveteran #formerathlete #athleteofaging

@bmet7 @TyDunne At the same time you could be right and maybe it would make zero difference.

@zenner31 @TyDunne Explain in detail how any of those calls change if a part-time ref making $250k (or more) is suddenly a full-time ref?

The NFL's resistance to full-time officials is forever the mystery of our time.

These calls potentially still happen. Human error is inevitable. But the more time someone has to devote to their "craft" I think the better they'll be. My point is, with so much at stake, why wouldn't you want them only devoted to umpiring? Why, in a billion dollar industry wouldn't you WANT a key element fully invested. Plus as a full time position it's more appealing and you get better talent applying in the first place.

@BrianEgickJr Nice edit

@zenner31 Great to see you come up on the timeline Forever #OnePride

I played in the NFL. I've watched what happens to guys when the game ends. Some of them retired. Some of them evolved.

@DanEsch54 Just sent you DM

@zenner31 CLUB

If you want to be an active participant in conversations on these types of topics comment: CLUB and I’ll send over the link to join the ZION Breakfast Club.  If you can’t get up at 6 AM central once a month then we don’t want you! I’ll lead a short workout or mobility session, then discuss a health topic for the next 20 minutes. Then we’ll do a stress reduction session together and finally finish with some motivation. After the main program concludes I hang around for another 30 minutes to answer any questions anyone has.  Last month was about metabolism. Next month is hydration! #highperformers #breakfastclub #formerathlete #nflveteran #metabolism

More is caught than taught.  Your children are learning their definition of health by watching you live yours. This is the most important legacy you can leave them — a blueprint for a life of strength and vitality. It's a responsibility I take seriously as a coach and a father.  The Independence Protocols are built on this principle of sustainable, lifelong habits. Comment: Workout and I’ll send over the link. #parenting #rolemodel #leadbyexample #zionperformance

Poor little guy must have gotten abandoned because of the snow storm. Don't worry I saved him and gave him a warm home. There's poor little proteins out there just like this one. Do your part. Save a life. #protein #proteincrisis #nflveteran #formerathlete

Comment: GOALS if you're looking for some help setting some new targets. #formerathlete #athleteevolution #athleteofaging #nflveteran

The ones who evolved figured something out: the competitive edge doesn't have to die when the sport does. It just needs a new arena. Scroll through and be honest - which version are you building right now?

Fastest way to get rid of a family illness? Clean! Of course also sleep, and nutrients and all that other good stuff but cleaning is so underrated. Plus too often it gets put all on the wife. Not today, actually not ever in this house. There are 3 reasons men don't help: 1. Not raised right. 2. Lazy 3. Not enough energy after a long day at work. If you want to contribute around the house but don't have the energy to do so, comment: ENERGY and I'll reach out personally. #housework #nflveteran #energy #formerathlete #sick

The skills that made you a great athlete are the same ones that will make you a great family man: discipline, consistency, and a commitment to showing up every single day. The strategy just needs to change. It's no longer about winning at all costs; it's about building a foundation of health that allows you to keep winning at home for the next 50 years. Comment: GOALS if your health is holding you back. #longgame #consistency #nflveteran #formerathlete #zionperformance

Wanted to wish our NFL Draft Prep QB Jack Strand good luck at his pro day this week! Over 13,000yds of offense, multiple All American teams and every school record. 6’5 240, high character, athletic and 1 of top arms in entire Qb class. Should be a draft pick! Believe and Achieve! @test_football @jack__strand

@AdamSchefter Mohamed Kamara catching a stray here

Miami Dolphins Dead Money for this season is now over $175 million. 🏈Tua Tagovailoa: $50M+ 🏈Tyreek Hill: $28.2M 🏈Jaylen Waddle: $26.3M 🏈Jalen Ramsey: $20.9M 🏈Minkah Fitzpatrick: $13M 🏈Bradley Chubb: $10.9M 🏈Terron Armstead: $10.7M 🏈James Daniels: $4.8M 🏈Zach Wilson: $3.8M 🏈Alec Ingold: $2.0M 🏈Jonnu Smith: $1.7M 🏈Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: $1.6M 🏈Matthew Judon: $1.4M 🏈Jason Sanders: $663K 🏈Cam Smith: $528K 🏈Mohamed Kamara: $160K

The Secret is Consistency! Nothing more, nothing less. And part of that consistency should involve some weight training. As humans we always think it's some secret but most of the time it's just years and years of work. Comment: "Goals" if you want to get consistent with your nutrition and fitness routine. #consistencywins #nflveteran #formerathlete #secretingredient @shehulkyy_

The ultimate irony is sacrificing your health to provide for your family, only to be too exhausted to enjoy it with them. Shifting from provider to participant is the most important work you can do. It requires energy. It requires resilience. It requires a plan. As a former athlete who has navigated this exact transition, I can tell you it's possible. Comment: GOALS to get started. #worklifebalance #familyfirst #presentoverperfect #nflveteran #formerathlete
