True confidence is quiet. Insecurity is loud.

Inner confidence comes from evidence. Do the work to establish receipts.

Insecurity tries to mask over lack of evidence with bravado and projection.

Don’t be fooled by those who are loud.

How slow should you go on your recovery runs?

Here's a tip from coach Mihali Igloi:

"Run so slowly that the pace almost hurts. Fatigue should not be produced, it should be resolved."

[J.T. Ayers 🇺🇸 @CoachJTAyers]

Training alongside people with a shared goal raises the standard…every time.

That’s the beauty of a team.

The best coaching taps into its greatest asset daily: one another.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

The hardest battles aren’t on the field, track, or stage.

They’re in your own head.

It’s why Kobe Bryant said, “How do you negotiate with yourself? That’s the biggest thing.”

Here’s how to navigate doubt, distraction, and discomfort:

@OHXC_OHTF A few more and you might shut down the rest of your spring sports. 😬

The main difference between practice and games is pressure. So if you struggle in games compared to practice, it's not random. You most likely need to work on your mental game so you can perform better under pressure.

Instead of complaining about how bad you’re playing, do something about it. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and do what you need to do to play better!

Gospel: I'm accepted therefore I obey.

Athletes: Practice with Purpose.

Before you get back on the field on this Monday, take 56 seconds and watch.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

The average person has a lifestyle that is incompatible with athletic success. If you want to be a successful athlete, you have to accept not being normal.

[Coach Brunner @OHXC_OHTF]

Say it again Coach for the people not paying attention in the middle of the pack or sitting in the back!

[Dustin Jones @Dustin_L_Jones]

@OHXC_OHTF It’s a good read!

[Preston Sprinkle @PrestonSprinkle]

To confess that Jesus is Lord is a politically subversive declaration. It asserts that our earthly rulers are not actually in charge--that there is a much higher power at work, that submission is power and sacrifice is enthronement.
