If the world only knew how much our coaches put into making sure we understand what’s going on in the world regarding our health, mental health , life after football, and a plethora of other life lessons bigger than football y’all would understand why i feel the way i feel 🤷🏾♂️
Success can only be defined by you. Do not work to succeed according to other people’s perceptions of ‘making it’. Define a meaning of success based on your unique set of values and aspirations. Then go get it. #BeyondFootball
Cognitive reversal and visualization
Visualizing yourself completing a task successfully contributes to an increase in confidence, and therefore a decrease in anxiety. Cognitive rehearsal and visualization can both contribute toward feeling more prepared.
This is why development and programs like #BeyondFootball are a dire necessity in programs across the nation. Schools must make sure their athletes are being equipped with the skills needed to succeed off the field once their time on the field is over. It’s a 40 year commitment
I love winning but do we really win if those same kids who scored TDs for your university go back to that same neighborhood they were trying to get out of to make better for themselves? Its bigger than ball.
Good Luck to all students starting classes this week!
Take advantage of the countless resources and people here @UofSC that are dedicated to your success. Also, be engaged in the classroom and build important relationships with your professors. It will payoff in the future!
Emotional flexibility - the ability to handle situations in a progressive manner. Those with emotional flexibility are resilient, because they draw from optimistic outlooks. People who lack this ability tend to lose motivation when their ‘plan’ is altered in an unexpected way.#BF
The greatest power we have is the ability to choose. How hard you work, what you eat, how you spend your free time, what type of attitude you have are all factor into what type of person you want to become. Who you become is your choice. #ThinkingRight#BeyondFootball
Everyone is human, every human makes mistakes. Learn from your failures and be happy about them. Failing means you’re not done growing, and that the best is yet to come! #BeyondFootball#FailForward
No action takes place without thought. Positive talk helps make our thoughts, actions and performance be positive. Don’t be your own enemy. There is nothing inside the brain forcing negative thought, it only stems from our reactions to circumstances.
Be proactive not reactive!#BF
