Full suit and tie unloading gear off the bus after travel to Buffalo for an afternoon pre season game. He’s 39 entering his 22nd year in the league, folks. He is the example!!
Written by the coach who trained some of the most competitive athletes ever (Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, now Paul Skenes)
- Average people will read this and say 'that's awesome'
- Elite people will read this and say "I need to save this and keep it somewhere to remind myself"
I need this reminder, too, we're human. Go Win, stay consistent
Old photo of the day: Cary Eades after a gruesome tibia/fibula fracture in 1980. A reporter told Eades he's sorry he's no longer part of the lineup. Eades responded: "I still am." UND went on to win the national championship weeks later.
Tom Brady says his career turned around when a sports psychologist told him to stop complaining about what he wasn’t getting and start stewarding what he had the right way
“Greg said to me, ‘Why don’t you quit bitching about all the things you’re not getting, and how about you do the best with whatever opportunities you get?’, ‘Stop worrying about what the other quarterback’s getting. Stop worrying about what the coach is saying to you.’”
“‘Every time you get in there, you bring the juice. You bring the energy. You bring the enthusiasm. You treat practice like a game.’ Because if you just decide to go out there and you’re blaming everybody else, where does that get you? So I started to change my attitude.”
“I didn’t have a lot of confidence in myself. And when you don’t have a lot of confidence in yourself, you blame other people. When you gain confidence in yourself, you start pointing the finger at yourself.”
“I would encourage every athlete to look in the mirror after every day of practice or a game and say, ‘What can I do better to help the team? What can I do better?’”
“Not, ‘What does the coach need to do better?’ Not, ‘What do my teammates need to do better?’, ‘What do I need to do better?’ If every player does that, you’re going to have an incredible team.”
“You can’t have a false confidence. You don’t only gain your confidence because of your physical ability. You gain your confidence because you’re prepared, because you’re competitive. I couldn’t just show up and be better than everybody.”
“I had to show up prepared. I had to show up with energy. I had to show up with my body feeling right. I had to show up like I was on a mission.”
Drake Maye on how he performed:

“I lost patience, and it cost us. Decisions that cost us the game on my part…you can’t have those, it’s unacceptable. I gotta get back to work, because that wasn’t how I play football.”
Barry was my best friend at ESPN. A big brother figure of rock solid values. I am shook to my core. Barry gave his life to hockey and some of his ESPN family, like me, learned of his shocking death today while at a hockey rink in Las Vegas preparing for the upcoming season. Chilling and fitting--the rink was Barry's home. A more beloved ESPN institution there has not been. We love you, Barry. Forever.
Coach Holtz to Coach Freeman:
"Be the most physical team on the field.
Be the most fundamental.
Be the closest team — care more about each other than they do.
Don't flinch. No matter what happens, we’ll find a way to win."
Trust, Love, Commitment.
Go Irish!

“Notre Dame, academics, the gold helmets, Touchdown Jesus, playing in South Bend—college football was BUILT in South Bend. And I hear this all the time: ‘College football? There’s no tradition.’ Brother, you’re staring at it, right on the screen— Notre Dame.”
