Mediocrity:
We are not tired.
We are comfortable.
Those are not the same thing.
And until we know the difference, we won't build what we are capable of.
Appreciate the write up in the @RollDatWave recruiting preview-
“He is a long, powerful, and athletic tackle prospect with prototype size, elite pass-protection pedigree (zero sacks or pressures allowed in two years as a varsity starter), and dominant run-blocking traits that have fueled one of the fastest-rising recruiting profiles in the 2027 Alabama OL class. Willis is a high-character, multi-sport leader (team captain, basketball) with exceptional academics and a punishing, high-motor mentality.”

Who teaches boys how to become men anymore?
I've spent 45 years trying to master that skill. Here's what I've learned works
— and what doesn't.(6 points)
1/6
What doesn't work: telling them what to do. Lecturing. Rules without reasons. Boys don't become men by being controlled. They become
men by being challenged.
2/6
What works: giving them something hard to do, watching them
struggle, and staying present — not fixing it for them. The struggle is the curriculum.
3/6
What works: showing them what a man looks like under pressure. Not a movie version. A real one. Your version.
4/6
What works: standards without exceptions. The moment you make an
exception for a talented kid, every other kid learns that talent buys privilege. You've lost them.
5/6
45 years. Thousands of young men. Numerous championships. The
ones who became great men all had the same experience: someone who believed in them enough to refuse to lower the bar.
6/6
The boys who became men weren't lucky. They were loved enough to be held accountable. That's the whole system.
