Un mensaje que sacude las redes exige acción inmediata. Equipos de radioterapia dañados en el Hospital Oncológico dejan a pacientes sin tratamiento vital.
“El cáncer no duerme”, claman, mientras el tiempo corre en contra. ¡Urge reparar o adquirir nuevos equipos!
¿Qué dicen las autoridades?

You can't want:
more playing time
a bigger role
leadership responsibilities
championships
to play at the next level

If you don't want:
to work hard
to make sacrifices
to discipline yourself
to be coached
to be held accountable

Wants come with requirements.

@FlemLoRaps just watch your Youtube video about the US Team in the IFAF U20. In the International Bowl Panama beat the US 30 - 25. The actual HC was the DC on that game. This is the link of the game. https://t.co/gXUmr2ptsR

Gracias a mis muchachos por sacar "garra", a mi coaching staff por su perseverancia y determinacion, a la AFFP por hacer esto una realidad. Hemos sembrado esta semilla, ahora toca cuidarla y hacerla crecer.

Questions every coach, who desires to be a Head Coach, should ask themselves:

1. What’s my WHY?

2. Do I have support from my family?

3. Am I willing to be questioned by almost everyone (for almost everything), I do?

4. Most importantly, do I have a SERVANTS heart?!

@sorianoaaron Fui coach de dos de los 3 panameños que están en Lobos y los estuve acompañando por chat durante las 72 hrs de calvario que pasaron los muchachos. Viajan 26hrs sin descanso, juegan un partido y a sufrir más; varados y sin alimentos. Sin donde dormir.

@fishsports Hi, Fish! Love your reports! May I give my humble opinion on our Cowboys. Macarthy should be more agressive play calling and a little bit more creative. I believe Dak can do better but coach have to him in better situations. Is a long season and can do better

John Wooden said, "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."

Your character is defined by what you do.

It is the decisions you make. It is the actions that you take.

Having strong character means making decisions based on a set of core values.

Discipline is doing what u need to do especially when u don't want to do it. A Disciplined mind leads to happiness & a undisciplined mind leads to suffering & confusion. The only way to get what u want is to impose self Discipline! #CoachPrime

Success is not a one-time accomplishment that you can claim and possess indefinitely.

Instead, it's something that you must continually strive for and maintain through consistent actions and hard work.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Kobe Bryant said, "Everything negative - pressure, challenges - are all opportunities for me to rise."

Toughness is built through small physical wins.

Mental toughness is not a talent, but a skill. It's a muscle that needs to work and developed.

His trainer Tim Grover said, "Mental toughness doesn’t guarantee you’ll win, but playing without it pretty much guarantees you won’t."
✅Mental toughness means being consistent.
✅Mental toughness means being resilient.
✅Mental toughness is focusing on what matters.
✅Mental toughness is pushing through discomfort.
✅Mental toughness is about your habits, not your motivation.

9 Strategies for Mental Toughness:
1. Start with your Attitude and Habits - Your attitude and habits are a choice. Your attitude can turn a difficult situation into an opportunity and your habits can build action on those attitudes. Create a positive mindset and productive routines to lay the groundwork for resilience and growth.

2. Master the Art of Being Present - Your life is controlled by what you focus on. When you focus on the past or the future, you worry or get anxious. The only place where we can make a true difference is the present. By staying focused, you are able to channel your energy and resources towards your goals and make progress towards them.

3. Train Hard, Compete Easy - Preparation puts you in position to succeed because you have done the work mentally and physically. When you practice your hardest, your natural instincts and creativity will take over when the time is needed. This allows you to act and not overthink.

4. From Now On, Problem = Opportunity - You can't always control what happens, but you can control how you handle challenges and setbacks. Reframe challenges and see problems as chances for growth and learning. This growth mindset reminds you that challenges are only challenges if you let them be.

5. Control What You Can Control - The most mentally tough people know that "you can control what you can control." There is nothing you can do about a failure or a painful moment because it's in the past. Channel your efforts and concentrate on aspects you can influence, enabling you to manage stress and maintain a sense of agency.

6. Believe In Your Future - Positivity is a choice. Belief is a choice. When you view the world this way, you are promoting a positive attitude and a growth mindset. It matters because it brings strength, resilience, and hope during those tough times.

7. Learn From The Best - Learn from the best and emulate what they do. Study how they approach their craft and the details that they look at. By looking to the best, you have a guide for how you should be preparing both mentally and physically. It gives you motivation and helps you refine your approach.

8. Visualize and Strategize - When you visualize your future, you clear the mental clutter around your vision, clarify your meaning, and reflect. Visualization helps your strategize for where there might be future obstacles. This allows you to be prepare for challenges and obstacles before they happen.

9. Win The Self-Talk Battle - Your self-talk is either going to empower you or defeat you. Negative self-talk is common, but you have to eliminate it or reframe it if you want to succeed. By improving your self-talk, you give yourself support and become more resilient when those tough times appear.

"You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." – Marcus Aurelius
