Dear old people, waking up at 6am, tending to a garden, eating dinner at 5pm, reading books, and going to bed at 9:30pm feels amazing.
I was wrong. You were right.

Kon Knueppel on playing off two feet:
“It evens out the athleticism…I’m not super athletic, so being able to play off two feet..now they have to be ready for a shot fake or a pivot. It kind of evens the playing field.”

“I am genuinely telling you that playing hard is a skill.” - TJ McConnell
It’s controllable.
It’s a choice.
Talent matters.
Skill matters.
But effort is decided.
Do you compete when you’re tired?
Do you play to exhaustion?
Tom Brady explains his mental edge and why practice (not gameday) creates separation.
"There was a part of me that was a psychopath out there. I was extremely hypercompetitive every day. I didn't feel like let's get to Sunday and now it's the time...Every day is the time to give your best, even in practice."
Every day your standards are either reinforced or lowered by how you treat practice.
You don’t flip a switch into excellence. You rehearse it daily.
