Raising teenage daughters in a world where excuses are STILL being made for the boys who are discounting their achievements and insulting their beauty is the hardest job I’ll ever have! Me & my daughters don’t owe anyone PRETTY or POLITE…we love our strength over here! ✌🏽

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

Nick Saban's Five Enemies of Greatness is always worth a read. He didn't write these, but they're a solid short list of his coaching philosophy throughout the years...

Ingest them for your team, and ingest them for yourself.

The 5 Enemies..keep them away from you.

When adversity is inevitable, how do you choose to respond? Your response says everything about who you are and who has molded you. Choose wisely

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

Anybody can win.
Not everybody can be a winner.
The difference is in the daily commitment to the process.
Being a winner isn’t a moment — it’s an identity you earn daily.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

The scoreboard will matter in the moment but the standard you set will last forever.

Champions don’t negotiate with their standards.  
The standard isn’t about being great when it’s convenient—it’s about being great when it’s not.

Coaching isn’t just a job, it’s a lifestyle.

And when you raise kids in a coaching household, they get a front-row seat.

They learn:

- Resilience
- Teamwork
- Integrity
- Passion
- And more

It’s not always easy…

But it’s always worth it.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Mental fitness will overtake physical fitness within the next 5 years.

Aristotle said, "The energy of the mind is the essence of life."

Your mind is affected by your daily thoughts, habits and unconscious biases.

Mental fitness helps you build resilience and thrive.

Without mental fitness, managing stress, anxiety, and challenges becomes harder.

What is mental fitness? Why does it matter? And how to start👇

Why is mental fitness important?
Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness, and the best in their fields have realized it. They know that having self-awareness & understanding your thoughts, perceptions, & realities allow you to become a better performer & leader.

What is mental fitness?
Mental Fitness is having good health & mental strength achieved through mental exercises. Mental fitness activities strengthen the mind. Examples: Meditation, Journaling, Breath Work Affirmations, Brain Games, Mindfulness & Visualization.

What are the benefits of a mental fitness routine?
✅Increased Confidence
✅Increased Resilience
✅Better Sleep
✅Better Ability to Deal with Anxiety
✅More Optimistic Mindset
✅Improved Cognitive Function

Who are some people you know who do mental fitness activities?
LeBron James has used meditation and mindfulness for the last decade to help with his performance, anxiety, and stress. He talks about how it gives him moments of calm before and during games, allowing him to focus on what matters, block out the noise, and accept his current environment.

Jerry Seinfeld credits his writing to his comedy success. To help with writing, he does transcendental meditation twice per day for twenty minutes. He will do it daily, but also uses it any time he feels like he is out of gas or “dipping”.

Sara Blakely credits her success with Spanx to establishing a visualization practice. She visualized the details before they happened and had a vision of what she wanted. This helped her make it a reality, she even visualized being on the Oprah show!

Tom Brady plays brain games daily on his iPad. This allows him to sharpen his mind to improve his memory, brain function, and focus. He says it also helps regulate his emotions and be present.

What can you do to start a mental fitness habit?
1. Pick one activity that interests you and make it a habit
Pick a habit that interests you. It is easy to look at the whole list and want to start with everything, but the goal is to start with one as a daily habit.

2. Start small
Start small and make it attainable. Most people get discouraged when they can't meditate for 30 minutes or lose focus after 10 minutes, but it will grow over time.

3. Set a time and place
The most important aspect about starting a habit is setting a time and place. This allows you to know when the habit is going to occur and sets expectations.

4. Grow over time
This is where you need to have a growth mindset and know that your practice can grow over time. You can add more activities throughout the day, but this is where you can build a practice that works for you.

5. Remember that it takes time
The people referenced above started these habits years ago and just like money, this investment compounds over time. This is where you will start to see the effects grow as you start to better know yourself and understand your habits.

Suggestions of where to begin
• 5 minutes of meditation when wake up
• 5 minutes of visualization after breakfast
• 5 minutes of affirmations driving to work
• 5 minutes of mindfulness at lunch
• 5 minutes of breath work after work
• 5 minutes of brain games after dinner
• 5 minutes of journaling before bed

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

A title doesn’t make you a leader—your actions do.

Leaders don’t need a label.
They earn respect through effort, consistency, and accountability.

Anyone can wear the title.
Only the committed earn the role.

An overwhelming pressure of high expectations forced Cristelle Rodriguez away from the sport in high school. She has returned to the mat with newfound strength and self-confidence which has sparked a remarkable career resurgence.
