LeBron James on why preparation kills self-doubt:
“There’s no way the human mind in competitive sports or in life in general that you just don’t have self-doubt, right? And that’s okay. And I think for me how you manage those thoughts is by one if whatever that you’re doing. Whatever field that you’re in and ours happen to be professional sports, if you know that you’re giving the time to the process and you’re putting in the work to in order to get the results, then you’re okay with whatever happens, the win, the loss, the draw, whatever the case may be. The uncomfortable nights would happen if you did not put in the work and you’re not seeing results. That is more self-doubt than anything.”

#Ravens HC Jesse Minter on his players communicating pre-snap:
“You can’t play this game quietly, and you can’t play this game with doubt, and you can’t play this game without knowing what you’re doing. And so, I know from a defensive standpoint, we should be the loudest, most crazy, obnoxious, communicative unit in the history of football.”

Baltimore Ravens HC Jesse Minter - Common Language & Shared Understanding (Defensive Identity)
Common Language
- "It's every detail of how we want our guys to play defense. We want to have a very very specific encyclopedia of words for us."
- "The ideas come from the schematics, but the language, vernacular and communication is really really important to get everyone on the same page."
Shared Understanding
- "It's not necessarily what we do, it's how we play."
- "It's about how you play, your mentality, how you run to the ball, how you strike blocks, how you tackle."
New Ravens defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver
“I’m old school. I may sit up here I’m a nice guy I smile I do all those things, but all of our problems that we need to solve can be solved through violence”
