Former LSU HC Dale Brown reportedly charted every one of Pete Maravich’s shots in college to see what he would average with a 3-point line.

Maravich would have scored a total of 4,731 career points — averaging 57.0 PPG.

Freshmen also couldn’t play varsity at this time🤯

Dearest mother —
The battleground has called for my glorious return. I’m thrilled to say, I shall heed that call.

I have reenlisted.

While my sidearm is permanently holstered — I shall help train other young men to be great soldiers. Please send care packages of squirrel oil and skunk cakes to our basecamp at Stanford. I love you.
— Andrew

Wow! Tom Brady may have just delivered the greatest quote I’ve ever heard.

“To be successful at anything, the truth is you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it.”

This scene in BEVERLY HILLS cop was improvised between Eddie Murphy and Bronson Pinchot. Some great ad-libbing.

Greg Olsen said, "Hard is good. The earlier you can learn to deal with hard, the easier it gets...because hard is coming. Whether we want to shield it from kids now or not, hard is coming."

You can't steal the struggle for other people.

One of the biggest epidemics today is people's "fear of failure."

They're afraid to start because they're afraid to "fail".

When you're afraid to fail, you become paralyzed.

You're too scared to take risks, to try new things, or to put yourself out there.

5 Ways For Them to Overcome Their Fear of Failure:
1. Change the Attitude About Failing - Failure isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of bravery. True growth only happens when you learn from your mistakes. Reframe the language and perception around challenges or "failures", make it exciting and enticing to try new things.

2. Emphasize Effort not "Ability" - Focus on the effort put into a task, rather than the innate ability. Praise the hard work and determination, not the outcome. Cultivating a growth mindset allows children to understand that abilities can be developed through dedication and persistence.

3. Keep Trying New Things - Encourage children to explore new activities and interests. This helps them understand that it's normal not to excel at everything. It also normalizes a "beginner's mindset" when learning and grow. They will understand that the value lies in the experience and learning process, not just in achieving success.

4. Go through Worst-Case Scenarios and Fear-Setting - Fear setting helps you to identify and confront your fears and the potential obstacles that may be holding you back. You think through the worst-case scenario and the steps to mitigate it. The process allows you to put your fears under a microscope and consider the potential benefits of taking action vs. “failing”.

5. Demonstrate Unconditional Support and Love - Children need to feel secure in the knowledge that their value and your love for them are not contingent on their successes or failures. It is not outcome driven. Showing consistent support builds confidence and to allow them to take risks and learn from their experiences without the fear of losing your approval.

There will always be setbacks.
There will be challenges.
But worrying about failure holds you back more than the failure itself ever could.

"Run hard when it gets hard to run.
Everything starts with discipline.
Practice until you can’t get it wrong - not just until you get it right.
If you don’t respect it enough to do it right-when it’s the right way to do it, how can you be trusted in a game?"
