I am thankful for my coaches and staff during my time spent at Liberty. After thoughts and prayers, I have decided to enter the transfer portal with 3 years remaining.

Bill Belichick defines what a good teammate really is and it applies to football, business, and life.
"A good teammate is somebody that you can trust and count on every day. Somebody who's tough, smart, and dependable."
You want teammates that you can trust.
You want teammates that are consistent.
"There are gonna be ups and downs. Mental toughness is part of dealing with things when they aren't perfect which they're not always gonna be."
"You always want people to make smart decisions. Not saying the smartest player has to be a great football player, but you have to make smart decisions for the team."
"And you have to be dependable. That means being consistent."
Then he explained what separates good from great:"
"The good ones are the ones that can do it over a consistent timeframe. Dependable day in and day out, week in and week out."
"That's really what successful people in life do."
Anyone can have a moment. The great ones show up every day.
They master their habits and they look to be consistent in their actions, attitude, and approach. Belichick's formula is:
1. Tough.
2. Smart.
3. Dependable.

Hall of Fame Coach Dawn Staley on the business of winning, loving someone enough to let them fail, and living everyday with zero margin:
💎 You don’t have to be for everybody to be right for your people. Leadership isn’t a popularity contest, it’s a courage practice! When you’re crystal clear on who you are and what you stand for, you can lead with conviction. And that becomes a magnet for people who want to be part of something real.
🏺 Tell the truth, even when it costs you comfort. We're in the business of winning. And winning built on half-truths is fragile; it cracks under pressure. Real leaders choose honesty over image, because trust, not talent—is what holds a team together when things get hard.
❤️ Care enough to step back. Loving someone isn’t rescuing always them from failure, it’s standing close enough to support, but far enough to let them struggle, adapt, and discover their own strength. Growth doesn’t come from protection; it comes from earned resilience.
📆 Respect the weight of every day. There is no neutral, only progress or erosion. When you give away a day because you're not all the way there mentally, someone else is investing it, and preparing to take what you’re not protecting.
Own your identity without apology! The moment you start shrinking to be digestible, you lose the very edge that makes you effective. You're not in the politics business, you're in the people business. The right people don’t need you to be everything, they need you to be authentically you, CONSISTENTLY and without COMPROMISE.
