To ALL Athletes…
▪️Be kind to yourself.
▪️The Process is the Prize.
▪️It is OK to struggle.
▪️Adversity is your greatest teacher.
▪️Resiliency is a great trait.

The best players make their teammates better. Do you?
"To be a good player on your team, you have to affect someone else on the team. You have to cause them to play better by the way you play."
- Nick Saban
Scout team guys at every level… if starters don’t hate going against you… if they aren’t saying “slow down” or “you’re going too hard”, then you’re not practicing correctly. Practice is your game day! Make it known you’re causing havoc daily until they put you on the 1st team.
You want to instantly be tougher? Learn to keep your mouth closed while being coached. Be able to take correction without needing to talk back, give excuses or change your body language. You must work at it. This is a mental toughness skill & it takes deliberate daily practice!
