My daughter played 2 mins vs USC…
She ran at 6am that morning
She shot over 500 3’s the day before
She did PT after and ice bathed
After the game, she got in the sauna and ran 2 miles to offset lack of game run.
Staying ready is a mindset.
It’s not for the weak minded.
It’s for the dedicated who see a bigger future ahead and the few that believe they can do the job when called upon.
This girl will see the fruits of her labor! No doubt!

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.

Parents: don’t be upset your kid isn’t playing when he misses practices during academic breaks.
Playing high school sports is also about commitment to your teammates and a sacrifice you’re willing to make. Most teams have scheduled days off. Make the most of those days.
NIU Head Football Coach Thomas Hammock didn't hold back earlier this season when discussing the reality of NCAA revenue sharing, the transfer portal, and NIL
Bruce Pearl said, "Kids want to be coached. They want to be held accountable. They want to be believed in. And, they want to be held to a high standard."
Accountability doesn’t push people away - it brings them closer.
Great leadership is built on trust, belief, and standards.
🚨 WOW! The National Athem before the Army-Navy game, with President Trump on the field, might just be the BEST rendition I’ve ever heard
How can anyone listen to this and NOT feel patriotic?! 🇺🇸🦅
Good morning!
ARMY vs NAVY kicks off later.
This legendary CBS promo video — it’s the best sports introduction ever:
“It’s the only game where everyone playing in it, is willing to die for everyone who’s watching.”
🇺🇸
Pressure doesn’t create mistakes.
It reveals what you practiced.
Your talent doesn’t take over.
Your standard does.
And if your standard is “sometimes,” that’s what you’ll be when it matters.
We do what we trained.
