According to the New York Jets Coach, Robert Saleh...
There are 4 Levels of Competitors.
Everyone falls into one of these areas.
Which one do you fall into?
1. The SURVIVOR - These people get by. They want to take the easy way out. They do as little as possible. They are minimalists.
2. The CONTENDER - Contenders need external motivation to compete. They need the trophy, the reward, the prize. These external rewards push them to compete.
3. The COMPETITOR - These people are internally and intrinsically motivated to be their best. They have a championship mindset. They are always looking to get their personal best. They are motivated and driven.
4. The COMMANDER - The commanders are first and foremost competitors. They have all of the same attributes that competitors do above: They are intrinsically motivated, have a championship mindset, and are fierce competitors. What is the difference then? The commanders pull others along with them. They Lead. They have a great influence on those around them.
Which of these do you fall into as a player, coach, or person?
How about your teammates?
Who do you want on your team?

You either pay for mediocrity or invest in excellence.
This is the choice champions must make daily.

Grit is a muscle.
Resilience is a muscle.
Persistence is a muscle.
Belief is a muscle.
When you constantly avoid adversity, you get weaker in these areas, which makes overcoming adversity even more difficult.
Keep showing up. Build your strength.
