"Everything bad in a person is accidental...The enemy tarnishes them...like an icon that is covered with dust, but if it’s in good hands, it’s cleansed & begins to shine...How hard it is to love your enemy...with such love you become like Christ crucified." St Gabriel of Georgia

“The passion of pride arises from two kinds of ignorance, & when these two kinds of ignorance unite together, they form a single confused state of mind. For a man is proud only if he is ignorant both of divine help and of human weakness..."
St Maximus the Confessor

Peyton Manning on Leadership 🔥.

“It’s never just about you… the best teams I played on, the best players practiced the hardest.”

Playing FOR each other is contagious.

It is what being a great teammate is all about.

"Do not be sad when you are cursed by men; be sad & sigh when you sin — this is the true curse. If you have hit your brother, you will be handed over to pitiless angels & you will be chastised in torments of fire for all eternity.” - St Pachomius the Great

Urban Meyer says the quiet part out loud.

Be the best player on your high school team first.

Development > camps.
Mastery > 7-on-7 trophies.

College coaches recruit game tape, not weekends.

Regrets about the past;
Fear for the future;
Ingratitude for the present."
