As year 19 approaches and the buzz of the gym starts and the girls are in and out of the office and the journey to net cutting begins. I am reminded always of what matters most❤️

[Zach Brandon @MVP_Mindset]

Dusty May on how his ambition has evolved and how becoming a dad led him to redefine success.

"I was probably 25 and I was incredibly ambitious and and I was trying to get to the top quickly. And then once Ann and I started having children, my entire perspective changed. I simply wanted to enjoy who I worked with, enjoy who I coached, and try to be the absolute best coach I could be."

The longer I work with coaches, the more I realize that the most fulfilled ones aren't always the ones with the premier titles or the highest paid. They're the ones who have clarity about why they coach in the first place.

Ambition isn't just chasing bigger jobs or dream destinations. Real ambition is chasing a better version of yourself.

You don't have to choose between being ambitious and being fulfilled. The goal is to chase excellence while protecting the people and priorities that make the pursuit worthwhile in the first place.

The best competitors don't rise to the occasion. They've already been there.

Cori Close calls it the LION mindset. 🔥

When everyone else tightens up, they lock in. When the moment gets big, they get bigger.

See a parent sitting quietly at a game?

Often, that’s the one who gets it.

No complaining.
No criticizing coaches.
No yelling at refs.
No drama.

Just watching their kid compete.
Youth sports need more parents like those.

Be part of the solution.

[Kate Vlahakis @Coachvlahakis]

Celebrated this incredible season with this incredible group of women. Grateful for them - incredibly proud of who they are, what they stand for and how they raise and maintain the excellence of this program every day. To our 4 seniors - we love you!❤️

[Kate Vlahakis @Coachvlahakis]

LMV the most grateful for you❤️

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

Competitive character is not “wanting to win.”

Everybody wants to win.

It’s whether your habits get sharper when you’re frustrated. Whether you can take hard coaching without making it personal. Whether you stop negotiating with the standard the second it gets uncomfortable.

Pressure doesn’t build character.
It audits it.

[Kate Vlahakis @Coachvlahakis]

It’s a great day to have a great day !

[Kate Vlahakis @Coachvlahakis]

One of my favorite days of the year! Good luck runners- the city of Boston will carry you when you don’t think you can. One foot in front of the other … enjoy it, feel it all even the hardest parts. You can do hard. Boylston is waiting for you ❤️
Missing you today Dad❤️

[The Athletic @TheAthletic]

There was a different energy about the UCLA Bruins.

The players were more professional. They were coming into the gym before scheduled workouts and practices. They were more locked in to their mental preparation and film work.
