Running this back, bc someone once said “They’re wide receivers. They don’t play real football. They just run around and catch things.” 😏

Curt Cignetti on his program's philosophy on how not to be average:
🎭 Average is a decision disguised as a default. Make standards visible, measurable, and non-negotiable. Because what you tolerate becomes your identity.
🤝 Most people negotiate with the work; elite teams eliminate the negotiation. The gap isn’t talent, it’s the daily refusal to accept “good enough” in reps, details, and accountability.
🧱 You don’t rise above average in big moments, you escape it in small ones. Every meeting, drill, and conversation is either reinforcing the standard, or quietly lowering it.
A HARVARD psychologist says: “if you’ve achieved nothing by 25, you’ve avoided the most destructive illusion of youth”
> In 2021, a Harvard psychologist surprised a lecture hall with an unexpected statement:
“If you haven’t accomplished much by 25, you may have escaped one of youth’s biggest illusions.”
At first, the room laughed.
She wasn’t kidding.
> The illusion of early success.
In your early 20s, the brain seeks quick proof of worth ~status, attention, rapid achievements.
But psychologists warn that chasing recognition too soon can lock people into roles or paths they never consciously chose.
They decide too early… and spend years trying to undo it.
> The exploration phase.
Research on career development suggests that people who explore more before 30 often build stronger long-term directions.
Testing ideas.
Making mistakes in public.
Changing course.
At 25 it looks like confusion ….but by 35 it often turns into clarity.
People who feel “behind” in their mid-20s frequently gain something others miss:
Perspective.
Patience.
And a clearer sense of what truly matters to them.
That foundation often leads to better decisions later on.
At the end of the lecture, the psychologist left the students with one final thought:
“You’re not meant to have life fully figured out at 25.”
“You’re meant to discover who you’re not.”
This is actually beautiful to see!
Kids go to their pastors house to pray after they encountered something that was unsettling to them.
She isn’t home but they share a prayer through the Ring camera system.
Prayer is exactly what America needs!
Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot.
"You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in."
"That's the American way - except America has gotten soft."
You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn.
It starts with showing up and earning it every single day.
No shortcuts...Just hard work.

@BDRoberts20 Miami was playing Big East ball.. Cards didn’t and look like they can’t match that play. Today hints at at first round exit. Hope they can get right.
@DeionSanders “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
