Sports make a great game - but a terrible God.
Listen carefully if you’re an athlete…
One day the season will end.
One day the career will end.
One day the applause will stop.
If your identity is in the game, you’ll feel lost when the game is gone.
But if your identity is in God, the game simply becomes a platform.
Sports are meant to be played.
They were never meant to be worshipped.
Train hard.
Compete with excellence.
Honor God with your effort.
But never forget:
Your purpose is bigger than your performance.
“You shall have no other gods before me.”
{Exodus 20:3}
If you’re going to bank on dominating D2 or D3, Newsflash for you….. They play some damn good football at those levels too.
They might be an inch or two shorter, but don’t get it twisted. They can ball!

Nick Saban explains one of the biggest threats to continued success.
"Success is not continuous. Just because you're having success doesn't mean you're going to continue to have success."
Past success guarantees nothing. You have to earn it every day.
"When you have complacency and you get satisfied, it creates a blatant disregard for doing the right things."
And here's the danger:
"You start to resent the very things that got you where you were."
You can't resent the process. Success starts with showing up, doing the work, and living the details.
"We pride ourselves in hard work. 'I resent that. I resent the hard work that you're making us do. Why are we running sprints?' Well, we always ran them. This is exactly what we did last year on this day. 'Well, I don't think we need to do that anymore.'"
Complacency is the enemy of excellence.
You combat it with a mindset of growth - never satisfied and always earning.

If you don’t have a WHY, the grind will break you. Early mornings, late nights, injuries and doubt can take a toll on you. Your WHY is what keeps you standing when quitting feels easy. What’s your why?? #keepgrinding
Mike Vrabel gives a masterclass on mindset, self-talk, and dealing with doubt.
"You can't let doubt creep into what you do as a person. I don't care what you do."
"You have to be able to talk to yourself and not listen to yourself so much. You have to tell yourself what to believe."
Read that again about your self-talk. Talk to yourself - don't just listen to yourself.
Your mind will feed you doubt, fear, and negativity. Your job is to challenge it. Tell yourself what's true, not what's easy to believe.
"That doesn't say that there aren't tough times that you struggle with failure. You have to be able to recognize it and know that that is a part of all of us."
Failure isn't the opposite of success - it's part of the path to it.
Successful people don't avoid adversity. They expect it. They know that they must learn from the setbacks and challenges.
"If you coach long enough, you're gonna get fired. Just like if you play long enough, you're gonna get cut or you're gonna get traded. That's just how this business is."
That's the reality. Not cynicism...clarity.
"I've tried to explain it to the players that this is what happens. And I'm grateful for the opportunity to be able to do it with this group of guys."
Tough times happen. The choice is to be a tough person that overcomes those tough times.
