Denzel Washington on the ghosts that haunt us the most:
👻 The Ghosts of our own unfulfilled potential.
👻 The Ghosts of the ideas we never acted on.
👻 The Ghosts of talent we never used.
The heaviest ghosts are the lives within us that we chose not to create. 🤯
“The consistency. The commitment to something greater than themselves. The willingness to do it with each other. The want to not disappoint each other. We just have amazing spirit and never quit,” J.B. Bickerstaff
Adversity has no limits and neither does success when you respond.
It's pretty neat how you can incrementally increase load on a barbell slowly over time and build strength and hypertrophy throughout the body utilizing various movements.

This Drill Fixes Your Run Defense
Breaking down a sled shock drill focused on running your feet, peeking, and shedding to finish the play.
This is how you build real knockback and control in the run game, taught by Arizona Cardinals Defensive Line Coach Winston DeLattiboudere III.
Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:
Two kids. One rich. One poor.
Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.
The rich kid has two choices.
Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.
Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.
The poor kid has two choices too.
Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.
Or outwork everyone in the room.
Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.
Same choice for all of them.
Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.
The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.
The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.
Greatness doesn't come from where you start.
It comes from which kid you choose to feed.
