Tom Izzo is asked by @outkick’s @RealDanZak about media ripping him for being too tough on players and Charles Barkley’s defense of him, gives phenomenal answer on accountability. Watch this:

Congratulation to Juniors Wendell Edwards III and Xavier January on their All District Honors ‼️ and also Coach Jones on Co-District Coach of the Year!

Great year for the Falcons. Fell short of our goals but didn’t take away what we accomplished and our growth. Year 2 down and excited for the future.

Our season came to an end last night vs a good Raytown team in the District Semifinals 54-61. Falcons finish the season with a final record of 19-9. Huge thanks to our Seniors for everything you’ve contributed to our program. You will be missed! Back in the lab! #TheHorn

Boy i wish HS players understood this.

Casual practice habits create casual game habits that have you looking crazy when you can’t turn it on.

[Zach Brandon @MVP_Mindset]

Tom Brady explains his mental edge and why practice (not gameday) creates separation.

"There was a part of me that was a psychopath out there. I was extremely hypercompetitive every day. I didn't feel like let's get to Sunday and now it's the time...Every day is the time to give your best, even in practice."

Every day your standards are either reinforced or lowered by how you treat practice.

You don’t flip a switch into excellence. You rehearse it daily.

Will Wade sounds OFF on his team’s toughness and leadership 😳

“We have a 3.0 GPA. That's wonderful… if we were running a daycare. We run a competitive basketball program. We’ve got a lot of casual personalities on this team”
