The 90th Masters Tournament has begun with ceremonial tee shots from Jack Nicklaus (86 years old), Gary Player (90 years old) and Tom Watson (76 years old) - who have a combined total of 11 Masters victories between them. ⛳️
Kobe Bryant shares why most teams get practice wrong and what Phil Jackson taught him about preparation.
"Practices are meant to be competitive. If your practices aren't more competitive than the games themselves, you're doing the wrong thing."
That's the standard. How you prepare is how you are going to play.
"Most of these teams and coaches have gotten into a mindset of resting players. 'Oh, it's too much. We're not gonna practice.' Light day, light day, light day."
"Phil never gave us a light day. There was no days off. You show up and you work. You practice."
You show up and do the work. No excuses or shortcuts.
"Practices are going to be worse. They're gonna be more physical. There's gonna be more trash talking."
"And I'm gonna let you know. If you didn't show up today, I'm gonna let you know. And it's gonna be embarrassing, and you're gonna hate it."
Then he explained why it all mattered:
"But when Game 7 rolls around in the NBA Finals, you will be prepared."
That's the tradeoff.
Hard now, easy later - or easy now, hard later.
You don't rise to the moment. You fall to the level of your preparation.

Tom Brady: Are you prepared to take advantage of opportunities.
Life is not about how much you succeed, it's about what happens when you fail.
How do you deal with failure? Do you deal with it with class and integrity, and with courage and resilience?
Tom Brady: “You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem. They push you to deal with failure.”
