Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:
Two kids. One rich. One poor.
Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.
The rich kid has two choices.
Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.
Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.
The poor kid has two choices too.
Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.
Or outwork everyone in the room.
Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.
Same choice for all of them.
Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.
The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.
The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.
Greatness doesn't come from where you start.
It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

BREAKING: PGA Tour announces welcome back party for LIV players tonight on the 9th green at 9pm. Players have also been advised to dress nice for the occasion.
Cooper Kupp said, "I'm going to go earn it again, every single day."
"I think that's the difference, I've never stopped this mindset of earning."
Entitlement is the enemy of hard work.
It's expecting rewards that you haven't earned.
Cooper Kupp shares a masterclass on earning it and how to overcome entitlement.
"Once you start saying 'I deserve it' - that's when the 'I've arrived' mindset starts to happen."
"I didn't deserve the opportunity...I didn't deserve Eastern Washington. I didn't deserve the NFL. But I've worked to earn an opportunity to go attack it."
From small-school recruit to Super Bowl MVP and he still doesn't think he deserves it.
"At no point during that journey...did I then say okay I'm there now, like I've done enough, like I've arrived and now I deserve to play."
That's the trap. The moment you feel entitled is the moment you stop earning.
"I've never stopped this mindset of earning...every year ends and I feel like there's just a little more, there's more we can do. I got to go earn it again."
Entitlement is the enemy of hard work. It's expecting rewards you haven't earned. It's the delusion of deserving without doing.
The best never feel like they've arrived. They earn it every single day.
How they eliminate entitlement:
1. Shift from "I deserve" to "I earn" - Success isn't owed. It's built.
2. Act with humility - Stay coachable. Stay hungry.
3. Embrace growth over status - Focus on getting better, not on what you think you deserve.
4. Earn it daily - Compete. Bring energy. Every single day.
5. Know your sacrifice - Commitment has a cost. Pay it.
It reminds me of a quote from the Clemson strength and conditioning coach: "They don't put championship rings on smooth hands." Nothing is given. Everything is earned.

Indiana HC Curt Cignetti - AFCA
"I love football, I love competition, it makes me go. I'm a pretty simple guy."
"I like tape, I like studying ball. I like getting better. I feel compelled to improve & get better every single day. I do firmly believe you get better or you get worse, you never stay the same. And if you're not striving, someone else is and they're catching your ass."
"One thing I am is structured/organized & I break it down to the smallest component. I got thousands & thousands of cutups & I'm making them every single day, that's what I love to do."

Friday Night Lights- the movie, not the show- is incredibly underrated. I personally think this is an all-time sports film, but I also grew up on this movie so I’m a bit bias. But Billy Bob Thornton is an exceptional actor who almost always delivers- including & especially here.
Have you walked the real Dragonstone?
No CGI can match that bridge, those cliffs, or the wind coming off the Bay of Biscay.
Just off Spain’s northern coast, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe looks unreal because it is where Dragonstone came to life in Game of Thrones, the place where Daenerys first stepped onto Westeros.
You climb 241 winding steps, ring the bell at the hermitage for luck, and the view hits you hard.
Sea, stone, sky. That’s it. And the best part it is only about 35 minutes from Bilbao.
