Peyton Manning shares what separated the best leaders he played with.

"The best teams I played on - our best players practiced the hardest every day. They set the example every day."

"They were sitting in meetings, taking notes, paying attention. Our young players are like, 'Holy cow - this is how they do it here. I'm gonna take notes. I'm gonna pay attention.'"

Culture is caught, not taught.

The best players lead by example. They set the standard and everyone else rises to meet it.

"When we got on the practice field - full speed. Taking snaps full speed. Walk-throughs. Everybody's intense. Calling audibles like it's a game."

"Talented players that are unselfish and set the example in the building as to what it's gonna take - that's critical."

The best players don't just perform on game day.

They set the standard every single day in the building.

That's how culture gets built.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

You don’t always get the spot because you’re the most talented. You get it because you were the most prepared. Can’t win on skill? Win on effort. Can’t win on talent? Win on preparation. Go find your edge. Then double down on it. You don’t have to be the best, just be different.

John Harbaugh shares how he defines failure and how you frame resilience.

"The only failure in life is not getting back up. When you get knocked down and stay down - then you're a failure. You're never a failure if you get back up."

"The only person that can make you quit is yourself."

Read that again.

He then explained the competitive mindset:
"You'll never back down. You'll never back up. You'll never stop fighting - persistently, relentlessly. Just keep fighting."

Successful people lean into the adversity.

They trust the process, get back up, and keep fighting.

Because that's the only definition of failure that matters.

Talent gets you there.
Process keeps you there.

Nick Saban said it best:
“You must focus on the things that have made us good all season long.”

Championship teams don't chase the moment.
They live the process.

This player flew in from Alabama this weekend.

Something interesting happened.

Every time he made a bad swing...

he had something to say.

Every time he missed a ball...

he had an explanation.

Every time something went wrong...

he gave it attention.

But every time he smoked a line drive...

nothing.

No reaction.

No acknowledgment.

No credit.

After our session, we went to grab lunch.

And while we were talking, I asked him:

"Do you feel confident?"

He said:

"I don't know. I haven't played a game yet."

That answer stopped me.

Because he was waiting for a game to tell him how to feel about himself.

The truth is:

He wasn't his biggest fan.

He was his biggest critic.

And my coach at UCLA used to say:

"You cannot outperform your self-image."

If you spend all your time talking about what's wrong...

don't be surprised when you stop seeing what's right.

So I gave him one assignment:

The next time you do something well...

say it.

Out loud.

-Good swing.
-Good take.
-Good adjustment.
-Good barrel.

Most athletes are comfortable criticizing themselves.

Very few are comfortable encouraging themselves.

Try this tonight.

Every time you catch yourself saying something negative...

find one thing you did well and say it out loud.

You might discover the conversation holding you back isn't coming from a coach, a parent, or an opponent.

It's coming from you.

Thank you for reading,
Jermaine Curtis

Training hard with your teammates is one of the best ways to increase team cohesion. Blood, sweat, and tears create strong bonds!

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

You don’t get a winning culture by talking about it.
You get it through ownership of your role, leadership in your actions, and relationships strong enough to demand the best from each other.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Trusting the process means focusing entirely on doing what it takes to succeed without worrying about the possibility of failure.

James Franklin shares a masterclass on work ethic.

"Nobody's gonna outwork me. Nobody's gonna outwork us."
"That's something we can control - waking up every single morning and putting a great day's work in."

Then he explained how preparation works:
"You got an exam on Friday...you don't wait till Thursday. You start studying Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. By the time Friday comes around, the exam will take care of itself."

"No different than the games on Saturday. The more days that we win in the off-season, the games will take care of themselves."

You control how you show up, how you prepare, and how hard you work.

"But what you can control is that you're gonna outwork people."

Nobody can out-prepare you if you refuse to let them.

Preparation is the great equalizer.

Show up, do the work, and let the results take care of themselves.

Marcus Freeman shares a message on focus and why the future is a distraction.

"You waste time daydreaming about an uncertain future. Who cares."

"Stop wasting time on things that don't matter. The future's uncertain so focus on being the best version of you today. That's all that matters."

No one wins tomorrow.

They win today - one rep, one habit at a time.

"Focus on being the best version of you and the rest will take care of itself."

Focus on giving your best and what you can control.

Because anything else is going to be a distraction.

Jalen Hurts' speech before the SB: "Last time being here, that sh** changed my life. It changed my life and it changed my mentality."

"Ask yourself how you want to be remembered."

1. Be prepared for the opportunity.
2. Be grateful for the opportunity.
3. Be intentional.
