The incredibly hard work you CHOOSE to go through, and the group of people who CHOOSE to go through it with you, will CHANGE your life FOREVER 🔥🔥🔥

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

You can't take the trophy with you.

But the person you became chasing it?
That's yours forever.

[Rob Oviatt @RobOviatt1]

The weight room is about RESPECT. If you miss workouts, or are late, you disrespect your coaches and teammates, and the importance of training. And you are a distraction to those doing things right.

[Allistair McCaw @AllistairMcCaw]

Your culture isn’t determined by your high standards. It’s determined by the lowest standard you are willing to accept or tolerate.

[Jason DiStefano @CoachDistefano]

This is OUTSTANDING 🎯
Your opponent does not matter… the game location or field conditions does not matter…
THE STANDARD IS WHAT MATTERS🔥🔥🔥
The COMPETITION IS BETWEEN YOU… and WHAT YOU COULD BE!!!
Regardless of who or what is in front of you🎯🎯🎯

[Zach Brandon @MVP_Mindset]

Lane Kiffin on why real competitors don’t need the spotlight to bring their best.

"What is your standard? Is the standard the standard regardless of who the team is, what network is on, how many people show up in the crowd?

Do you need that stuff to play really well? Or are you an elite competitor that none of that matters?"

If your standard changes with the setting, it’s not a standard. It’s a mood.

There are so many captured by what other people are doing…
Be CONFIDENT in YOUR path and TRUST in YOUR process 🎯🔥🏈

[Jason DiStefano @CoachDistefano]

Great criteria!!
It’s about SUBSTANCE!!
Not status🎯
Are you INTENTIONAL about being TRANSFORMATIONAL, or are you about social media status 🎯🎯🎯

This is how you make MAGIC as a TEAM🔥🔥🔥

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

The best teams don’t rely on stars, they rely on habits & standards. Every player owns their role. Every rep, every play, every ounce of effort adds up. Because when one person locks in, it pushes everyone else higher. The power of one becomes the power of all. That’s teamwork!

In-season Strength Training Guide for Improved Performance without Soreness

1. Low Training Volumes 1-2 working sets per exercise.

2. Limit sessions to 3-5 exercises.

3. Limit length of session to 60 minutes maximum

4. Loads over 80%, reps between 1-5.

5. Ample rest

6. Training should be done 2-4x a week. As frequency goes up, workload pulls back per session.

7. Movement selection stays the same as off-season, novelty creates soreness. Push, Pull, Squat, Hinge.

8. Continue progressing training, you will still improve slowly. The key is not going backwards.

9. Continue Sprinting and Jumping Maximally in-season.

10. Use training to address ranges that may be banged up from games.

Takeaway: NEVER STOP TRAINING.

[Jason DiStefano @CoachDistefano]

Consistently doing difficult things with intent leads to results…
Not hype guys, not fancy gadgets and not trending exercises.

[Zac Goodman @ZacGoodman_]

Good Training is kind of “Boring”.

Meaning it’s not flashy or novel.

It’s progressing the same basic exercises over and over again. It’s why most people don’t reach elite strength levels.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"The players who have talent but don't have the work ethic eventually get surpassed by players who are less talented but have a greater work ethic."

Talent’s a gift.
Toughness and discipline are choices.

How are YOU leading YOUR TEAM???

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Marcus Freeman: “You don’t need to be a captain to be a leader.”

Truth → Leadership is influence.
And everyone has influence on their team.

Captain? That’s just a title.
Collective leadership is what wins.

How are you leading your team today?
