Oklahoma trailed 8-2 on Sunday and 7-3 on Monday to the nation's No.2 seed Georgia Tech. Behind timely offense and stellar pitching all of the sudden it's Skip Johnson's #Sooners that have entered the chat: https://t.co/NFTXY6gZuT

David Goggins (@davidgoggins) is one of the most driven people on the planet. But he isn’t superhuman.

Listen as he explains his advantage is just an uncommon honesty with himself.

While most people avoid uncomfortable truths, he runs toward them. And over time, that willingness to confront a brutal reality became his competitive edge over those who chose comfort:

💭 Growth begins the moment you stop negotiating with the truth. The person who can honestly assess where they are, without excuses, ego, or illusion — is the person who can finally build a path forward. You cannot improve a version of yourself that only exists in your imagination.

🌎 Most people don’t want uncomfortable honesty, they want reassurance. So they surround themselves with voices that protect their comfort instead of challenging their ego. But short-term comfort often creates long-term stagnation. The coaches/people who help you grow the most are usually the ones willing to tell you the hard truth before the world teaches it the hard way.

☯️ Reality is relative. “Hard work” is often a reflection of the standards we’ve accepted. One person calls it “hard work” because they trained for an hour. Another calls it “hard work” because they sacrificed comfort, consistency, sleep, focus, and years of repetition. Your standards shape your reality. And eventually, your reality shapes your results.

The lies we tell ourselves eventually become the ceilings we live beneath. 🏠

“I need you to lock in… I believe in you but you got to want this moment.“

Coach: Eye contact, reaffirming confidence while giving criticism

Player: Eye contact, listening, responding

This is some good coaching and credit to the player being coachable!

After three seasons of losing, accumulating a 24-67 record from the 2019-2020 season through the 2021-22 season, the Huskers needed a culture transformation.

@MikeSautter_ has more on what changed the program, powered by @UnionBankTrust.

This, from JaMarcus Shephard, is one of the most impressive and emotionally intelligent things I've heard a coach say. At any level of sport. #GoBeavs
