“You get up every day, you’re entitled to nothing.
You could have talent but if you don’t have discipline and you don’t execute, you don’t focus.
What do you get?
Nothing.
Nothing is acceptable but your best,”
-Nick Saban

Winners assume nothing and give everything.

“Whatever you do in life, have the courage and commitment to do it to your absolute best.” - Pat Summitt

Not halfway effort.
Not excuses.
Not “good enough.”

The courage to show up.
The commitment to stay with it.

That’s where excellence lives.

“To look in the mirror and see yourself. Challenge yourself to be the very best and to always do the right thing. Never compromise your principles, never lower your standards. Whatever you do in life, have the courage and commitment to do it to your absolute best,” Pat Summitt

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Mike Leach shares a must-listen postgame message on resilience, adversity, and failure.

"Nothing is really, really, really fun unless it's hard. Nothing is really fun unless it's hard."

"We've got to embrace that things are gonna be hard. We've got to embrace to be excited when things are hard."

Successful people don't fear obstacles - they embrace them.

"You gotta embrace to be excited about it being hard and playing extremely hard."

"Even if you get way up on somebody, you want to be as hard as you possibly can because you're pushing yourself. And all of a sudden you're making great plays, you're doing things that you've never done before."

Growth requires discomfort. You have to be willing to look bad before you get better.

Then he ended with one line:
"Embrace the fact that it's hard. Never hope that it's easy."

If you only chase what's easy, you'll never become great.

Embrace the hard because that is where growth, success, and character are built.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Ever wonder why some teams always win?

It’s not luck.
It’s not talent alone.

The secret?

➡️ Leadership
➡️ Communication
➡️ Resilience
➡️ Roles
➡️ Relentless effort

Championships are built on habits.

Geno Auriemma has won 12 national championships at UConn.

UConn is currently 38-0, trying to win their 13th.

When Geno is recruiting, certain things instantly disqualify a recruit - no matter how talented.

Here's what they are and what he looks for:

“Rules are for people that can’t follow instructions. I want to have standards. My number one standard is you have to be a good person. You’ve got to be a good human being. If your going to be committed to yourself, your own growth to maximizing your potential you’ve got to make choices that align with what a good human being would do,” Shea Ralph

"Building confidence...requires you to fail.
There's going to be a good balance of failure and success and that's how you build toughness - the resilience of getting through something hard."
