I can't stop thinking about this question:
Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?
In 2021, Georgia Tech strength coach Lewis Caralla delivered this epic speech to the football team.
If it doesn't get you motivated, you may need to check your pulse...
He opens with a few harsh truths:
• Winning isn't loyal to you
• Winning doesn't care about you
• Winning doesn't care how sore you are
• Winning doesn't care how hard you work
• Winning doesn't care how much sleep you get
But it's his question that stuck with me:
Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?
The willingness to sprint with no clear view of the finish line is rare.
It requires two things:
1. A deep belief in one's self
2. A deep belief in the mission
If you have 1 but not 2, you won't be able to do it.
If you have 2 but not 1, you won't be able to do it.
You need both.
In my observation, the greatest things in life are accomplished when you're willing to sprint when the distance is unknown:
The sprint to care for your loved ones in their time of need.
The sprint to build something meaningful.
The sprint to serve others and create positive ripples in the world.
Goal: Find those rare things in life that you're willing to sprint for when the distance is unknown.
That, to me, is the definition of winning.
"And why chase winning? Because the only thing that's guaranteed in life if you don't chase it is losing."

• Jayden Daniels: Marcus Mariota
• Quinn Ewers: Drew Lock

I'm sure nobody will disagree
@rbosecker@clayharbs82 Your comment makes me think back to college when the girls would leave aerobics and we’d be on the decline counting to 100 on rep 2 lol
#NFLDraft thought…Could the #Bears be doomed if they trade back? Say they trade to 4, Colts take a QB. Demeco Ryans #Texans build his #49ers D and take Carter/Anderson (Armstead/Bosa), #Cardinals take the other and the #Bears are left with their junk in their hands
Somebody needs to design a new sideline out of bounds play for Billy Donovan. Bulls run the exact same thing every late game situation and it continues to fail #Bulls#seered
Allen Iverson on the Top 2 Players of All-Time:
"I never put nobody before Michael Jordan....but I never put nobody second besides Kobe. It's Mike, it's Kobe and then it's everybody else. Steph, Shaq, LeBron, all them come AFTER Kobe."
