It's easy to stay united as a team when you're winning. It takes strong character to stick together through adversity.

Great players want to be coached hard, understanding it's for their benefit.
When getting coached up, listen to what the coach is saying, not how he is saying it.
This is impressive! 👇🏽 #LearningInTheJourney

DO YOU HANG WITH:
- the doers or the talkers?
- the workers or the whiners?
- the builders or the destroyers?
- the leaders or the laggards?
- the coachables or the complainers?
- the competitors or the cupcakes
Who you hang with influences both you and your team.

Be the Player that ALWAYS shows up !
Be at all the workouts.
Get the extra training and time in the weight room or track.
When they open the gym up for extra work , you are there.
When there is film to watch , you are front and center.
Get the extra reps.
Invest in the Team

When you go to bed at night ask yourself this one question.
"Was I an American that was worth dying for today?"
This is the way we honor our fallen on Memorial Day.
Be worth it. No more, no less.

Dear Players,
Every time you skip a workout.
Every time you take a shortcut.
Every time you make an excuse.
Every time you blame a teammate.
Every time you bring a bad attitude.
Every time you waste an opportunity.
You make it easier to beat you.
Sincerely,
Your Competition

Practice is the time to build confidence. Consistently doing skills correctly in practice creates habits that build self-confidence. If players accept sloppy performances in practice, they are practicing failure. Confidence is built on doing a skill correctly again & again.

Went to a college practice this morning.
📝 I have 3 takeaways
🏎 Pace - Coaches teach things once. If you aren't paying attention you are in trouble.
📢Communication - Everyone talks. All the time.
🧠Decision Making - Making the right play is a premium skill.
