Pretty cool note I got from a tech CEO/founder who watched NCAAs about hiring wrestlers: “I'll say this: without question my favorite hiring profile is a D3 All-American wrestler. You competed in the darkness. No lights, no crowd, sometimes literally no one watching. You showed up anyway and you figured it out. Give me 10 of those guys and they're worth 50 fancy Ivy League degrees. Every time. The mat doesn't lie.” Thoughts?

Remember when this guy won NCAAs with his singlet turned inside out and saved like 15 sports at Stanford

Lord God, Please fill my heart with Your peace. Calm my thoughts, quiet my fears, and remove all restlessness within me. Let Your peace guard my mind and guide my actions. Help me release anger, worry, and pain from the past. Give me patience, understanding, and a gentle spirit. May peace flow into my home, my relationships, and my future. I place everything in Your hands and choose to trust You. Amen 🙏

James Clear on having high standards:

I hope everyone realizes how amazing this is for the sport of wrestling. So proud of the platform that we have been able to build in such a short amount of time!!! Creating a professional sports league for wrestling was always a life dream of mine. I have so much gratitude @IzzyStyle @EBischoff and @ChadBronstein for making this come to life!!!

Sean McVay shares a universal truth about adversity and resilience. "You're either in it, you're coming out of it, or you're gonna go back into it in a short period of time." That's the reality. Adversity isn't a one-time event - it's a cycle. "The separator is people's ability to handle that. How long can you stay in some of those uncomfortable spots and knowing that real growth is occurring?" The question isn't whether adversity will come. Because it will. The question is: can you stay in the discomfort long enough to grow from it? "Adversity's inevitable. That's what's so great about sports. We learn so many things that test you in ways that are reflective of what you go through in a bunch of different arenas." You don't grow despite adversity - you grow because of it. The best aren't fearless - they just keep showing up. (🎥@pureathleteinc )

Wow this is the coolest thing I have seen this year.

This is in the early lead for my favorite clip of 2026. Always so fascinating to listen to the people who study the brain breakdown their belief in God. @hubermanlab is one of the best communicators of the complex I’ve ever listened to.

One of my favorite quotes is the one from Marcus Aurelius: ‘The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.’ I think it’s always good to remember it.

Morale needs good health, physical and mental. Unless the body is well and vigorous it is pretty hard to endure hardship and keep up enthusiasm. Fatigue and illness sap mental vigor and moral strength. — Psychology For The Fighting Man 165-0:24:08

All young athletes. Read this until you understand it, then read it some more.

We’re thrilled to announce that Wispr Flow raised another $25M round after 10x'ing our revenue in just 5 months. Our Series A2 was led by @hanstung at @notablecap (who was an early investor in five companies that made it to $100B valuation like Slack, Tiktok, and Airbnb). we also brought on @StevenBartlett as an investor and partner. But here's what matters more than the money: We cracked voice input. Not transcription - actual understanding. Our users hit "send" in under 0.5 seconds without checking. They trust it blindly. That's never existed before. In a recent benchmark, Wispr came out as 3-4x more accurate than OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and Siri. Voice input was step one. Now, we’re building the assistant that actually gets things done. The keyboard had a good 150-year run. Time to build what comes next. PS: like, retweet, and bookmark to get wispr flow for free for 3 months ❤️ — Written with @WisprFlow

New Rule: Jameis Winston’s next contract is with ALL 32 NFL Teams and whenever a starter is out he gets to fill in. Dude is absolutely must watch TV.

The data on gratitude are surprisingly strong- showing immense mental and physical health benefits. The big surprise: receiving and observing (much more than giving) gratitude is what drives the largest effects. Obviously one requires the other. So give (& receive) gratitude.

The older I get, the more I realize adaptability is the highest form of intelligence. Knowledge matters, but the ability to learn, unlearn, and change course matters more. The rigid cling to what was. The adaptable adjust to what is and what will be. The future belongs to them.

"Happiness is a choice you make and a skill you develop. The mind is just as malleable as the body. We spend so much time and effort trying to change the external world, other people, and our own bodies, all the while accepting ourselves the way we were programmed in our youths. We accept the voice that talks to us in our head all the time as the source of all truth. But all of it is malleable, every day is new, and memory and identity are burdens from the past that prevent us from living freely in the present." — @naval in Tribe of Mentors
