When your mind is telling you “I’m too tired. I can’t do it,” it isn’t always telling the truth. Sometimes you have to talk back and push through the pain in order to perform up to your full potential.
Practice Matters.
Why?
- Because team sports are a grind.
- Because you are your habits.
- Because culture is everyday.
You cannot just show up on game day. Want to see who a player truly is?
Watch them practice. Watch their daily habits.

Talent is over-hyped.
- Are you on time?
- Do you work hard?
- Are you coachable?
- Can you be trusted?
- Do you accept your role?
- Do you help the team win?
- Do you make the right plays?
- Do you bring positive energy?
Talent, without the list above, is no fun for anyone.
An observation after working with HS athletes for 2 years. We don’t stress the importance of maturity for an athlete’s level of success. You can be a clown and have a great time, but you will never reach your potential without a mature approach and you are hurting your team.
You wouldn’t wear Crocs on the football field, on a wrestling mat, during a race. Have a tiny bit of discipline and show up with the appropriate foot wear to train in the weight room. Little things matter.
Last night we had the privilege of being the first ever opponent for @StJohnOcala Boys Weightlifting Team. The PR Bell rang all night for both Teams! Keep up the hard work and Good Luck with the rest of your inaugural season!
Yesterday, at then end of Spring Break, these guys brought home some hardware! Congratulations, Mehki, Leroi, J'shawn, Carlo, and Brandon! The Pirates finished 3rd in Traditional Lift and 4th in Olympic Lift at the Lake Wales Invitational. We're growing every week!
Carlo Picciurro and J'shawn Jones finished 1st in both the Olympic and Traditional lifts on Wednesday night. The teams fought to a 42-42 tie in Traditional. The Bulls of Wiregrass Ranch claimed the 46-38 win in Olympic.
To perform well under pressure, you need to forget about winning and losing, and just focus on giving your best effort and having fun in the present moment!
