Head Coach - Army Men's Soccer

[Army Men’s Soccer @ArmyWP_MSoccer]

THE RESPONSE. ⚔️

Adversity doesn’t define us. How we respond does.

Through every challenge, every setback, and every battle, our identity remains the same.

We fight. We respond. We move forward.

The fight continues.

The trilogy of the weak-minded! Downright hard, if not impossible, to have a thriving culture when these three habits are running the show.

[Coach Plotkin @CoachPlotkin]

I love this concept of fearless thinking.

There are a lot of thieves around.

Jameis Winston explains why constantly being hard on yourself isn’t discipline if it eventually makes you your own worst enemy

“It’s great to challenge yourself. To push new limits. To go to different heights. And be tough on yourself.”

“But you’ve also got to give yourself some grace. You can’t be your worst enemy and your biggest fan.”

“I’m trying so much… I end up being my worst enemy.”

“We talk to ourselves more than anybody else talks to us. You’ve got to speak life into yourself… More than anybody else is going to speak life into you.”

“Somebody else cares about themselves more than they care about you. So if you’re down on yourself all the time… How is that going to make you feel?”

“Okay, I failed. I’m not the only person to fail. How do I get out of this? Who do I need to talk to?”

“You’ve got to lift yourself up. You’ve got to give yourself life.”

“Why do we give other people better advice than we give ourselves? We don’t listen to ourselves. We’re just reacting by default. We’re not being on purpose. We’re not being intentional.”

“All of us have those moments. But the ones that are able to look at those moments… Reflect on those moments… Build off those moments… And not let those moments destroy them… Those are the ones that end up being successful.”

[Coach Plotkin @CoachPlotkin]

This is magic. Stay for the end.
