Dear Lord,
Today, I pray for wisdom & courage to knock on doors. Life requires a certain level of force. Not every door will be presented to me, nor will every door be for me. Help me make my proposals & pitch my ideas. I know what I prayed for, & I know where I belong. Amen🙏🏾
Why do STANDARDS Matter?
- Every team shoots
- Every team practices
- Every team competes
- Every team wants to win
- Every team says they work hard
What’s the difference?
It’s not talent. A lot of talented teams lose.
The STANDARDS these are done at make ALL the difference.
Never shy away from tough competition. To be the best, you have to beat the best. Keep seeking out tough competition until you climb your way to the top!

Different requires discipline.
Different requires sacrifice.
Different requires effort.
Being everybody requires nothing.
Being different requires everything.
Love the clock at Lambeau Field! Always 15 minutes fast to guarantee “Lombardi Time”!! Always early, always prepared, always on time! @LambeauField@packers#ChampionshipCharacter
“The game doesn't know who you are. The game doesn't know who is supposed to win. All the game asks is to show up every day, give 100%, and respect yourself and others. You must love the game on good days and bad days.”
~ @SueEnquist quote via @TheCoachJournal
Being coachable means you're willing to consider feedback even if you don't like what you hear. It means resisting the urge to make excuses or get defensive when challenged. Getting better is more important than your ego. You'd rather get it right than be right.
5 Things DISCIPLINED Athletes Do.
DISCIPLINE is doing what has to be done, when it has to be done, and doing it that way all the time.
But how?
Here are 5 things DISCIPLINED Athletes do.
1: The Process is the Prize
Disciplined athletes are focused on the process. They focus on the day-to-day. They know their end goals will only be reached by engaging in the process. They live in the moment. They trust the process.
2: Make Preparation Your Separation
Discipline athletes know that a ‘failure to plan is a plan for failure.’ They know it is what separates the good from the great. They achieve because they are prepared for the moment.
3: Habits WIN
Disciplined athletes know that, in the end, Habits WIN. They focus on creating positive daily habits. These habits become their process. They start with simple habits and follow these with relentless consistency. This is how their greatness is achieved.
4: Growth Mindset
Failure does not exist with disciplined athletes. They know that failure is simply an opportunity to grow and improve. They believe in a growth mindset. There is not a task that they cannot overcome. It is the mindset of a champion.
5: Poise and Control
Finally, great athletes ‘discipline themselves so others do not have to.’ They are in control. They are poised. They carry themselves in a way that builds confidence in their teammates.
The difference between winners and losers is the scoreboard.
Winners always act like they’ve been there before regardless of the result.
Losers find ways to boast about their success and make excuses for their mistakes.
