Tom Brady explains his mental edge and why practice (not gameday) creates separation. "There was a part of me that was a psychopath out there. I was extremely hypercompetitive every day. I didn't feel like let's get to Sunday and now it's the time...Every day is the time to give your best, even in practice." Every day your standards are either reinforced or lowered by how you treat practice. You don’t flip a switch into excellence. You rehearse it daily. 📹: Impaulsive Podcast

It’s astonishing how many massive football clubs in the UK have lost their way, their identity and culture. Poor leadership and bad decisions from the boards. Culture and identity are the foundations of all your success.

A fantastic opportunity for two of our @isfafootball squad players to play with friends @STFCfoundation against @CPFC this morning - congratulations to Henry A on his hatrick and to Caspar R. Great work boys ⚽️🎩🪄

Congratulations to @OldMarlburians Rory E who made his full UK Armed forces debut in a 3-1 win against the Dutch on Tuesday evening. What an outstanding achievement 👏⚽️🫡
