Mike Vrabel gives a masterclass on mindset, self-talk, and dealing with doubt.
"You can't let doubt creep into what you do as a person. I don't care what you do."
"You have to be able to talk to yourself and not listen to yourself so much. You have to tell yourself what to believe."
Read that again about your self-talk. Talk to yourself - don't just listen to yourself.
Your mind will feed you doubt, fear, and negativity. Your job is to challenge it. Tell yourself what's true, not what's easy to believe.
"That doesn't say that there aren't tough times that you struggle with failure. You have to be able to recognize it and know that that is a part of all of us."
Failure isn't the opposite of success - it's part of the path to it.
Successful people don't avoid adversity. They expect it. They know that they must learn from the setbacks and challenges.
"If you coach long enough, you're gonna get fired. Just like if you play long enough, you're gonna get cut or you're gonna get traded. That's just how this business is."
That's the reality. Not cynicism...clarity.
"I've tried to explain it to the players that this is what happens. And I'm grateful for the opportunity to be able to do it with this group of guys."
Tough times happen. The choice is to be a tough person that overcomes those tough times.

Great stuff here from Coach Caldwell. She opens up about practice struggles in year one of time at Tennessee.
When putting your stamp on a program, your first goal is quality practice habits and raising the bar on what “hard” is.

"She's one of the biggest players in the world right now. But she doesn't act like that. She's just like 'help me'."
This story is so sweet. Erica Wheeler and Caitlin Clark will be trying for the same starting spot this season. But Wheeler, a 10-year WNBA vet has taken Caitlin under her wing, and tried to be the first one to welcome her to the team.
On a personal note: as a kid who started at a new school when I was in 7th grade, this sentiment resonates a whole lot. I've never forgotten the first people who made me feel welcome, and were kind to me.
