The Air Raid strikes again! @BUFootball & @HailStateFB QB @SawRobertson12 delivers another game winning touchdown! Daniel & Sawyer were close friends and QBs at Mississippi State with “The Pirate” Coach Leach. They have more stories and laughs than one could imagine. One day I will have them share! Their bond has kept them connected and led to the most amazing outcomes on and off the field.
Sawyer and Skylar introduced our son @DanielGreek12 to Harley Kreck from @BaylorVBall shortly after a social media post from an FCA meeting at @Baylor was made. After the connection and introduction, it didn’t take Daniel and Harley long to fall in love while Daniel finished his last season playing for @TarletonFB.
95 Y Cross is great. 92 Mesh is hard to stop. But finding the love of a lifetime…irreplaceable. @DaisyGreek and I gained a beautiful daughter-in-law last week as Daniel married Harley. Our hearts are full of gratitude to God for his blessings. And even though they didn’t listen to Coach Leach’s advice about eloping, in a very real way, “The Pirate” and Coach Dave Nichol, who recruited Daniel and Sawyer, were at the wedding that night through the memories, laughter, and presence of former players and coaches.
Daniel, like the “Little Engine That Could”kept going…through the injuries and adversity he has faced. The grit required to survive “Midnight Maneuvers” and “Leach Beach” has Built Champions for many years. Through a deep friendship formed under the mentorship of Coach Leach - They didn’t just learn Four Verticals (aka “6”), they learned a few lessons about life.
Swing Your Sword. Strike Fast. Play The Next Play.
After the loss of a Coach who meant so much to so many - Sawyer and Daniel would move on and move forward to the next play…to the next assignment. Daniel was introduced to Harley. And it has forever changed his life. We are thankful for the faithfulness of God through it all. You never know the impact you are making. Build relationships. Build People. Build Champions. Get up. Show up. Bring your best. Be great. There are lives to impact and a difference you can make. Go Score!
After a great conversation with @WTAMUFootball Head Coach @CoachJoshLynn I am excited to announce I have been offered the opportunity to play quarterback at West Texas A&M. Thank you to my teammates & coaches! Cool that my older brother @nathangreek plays TE for WT. @coachkbleil
Never Wrestle with a Pig
(from The Power of Positive Habits)
Country wisdom teaches, “Never wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty and the pig likes it.”
There are many who like to get dirty. They want to bait you and get you to jump into the mud with them. The guy who cuts you off on the road and gives you the finger or pulls up next to you and wants to race. The coworker who knows exactly what to say to get you to argue with them. The rude person on the plane. The family member who always picks a fight with you. The neighbor who doesn’t like you and whom no one likes. The person who’s having a bad day and is taking it out on everyone, including you. The troll on social media.
Unfortunately, there have been moments in my past when I wrestled with the pig and got dirty. I regret those moments. I wish I could go back and do things differently. I didn’t like myself for getting in the mud. I let the situation get the best of me and that’s why I’m sharing this.
You’ll never regret walking away from the pig. You’ll only regret getting in the mud with them.
Don’t wrestle with the pig! It’s not in your best interest to do this and you risk hurting yourself. Don’t waste your time and energy. It’s not worth it; you have better things to do. It’s not your job to right their wrong. Don’t get into the mud and get dirty. Don’t let the person or moment get the best of you.
Rise above it. Walk away from the pig. The moment will pass. The anger will subside. You’ll feel better and walk away clean.
A leader can’t directly install motivation, values, self-interest, or commitment in another person. They just can’t.
The best leaders recognize what’s already there in a person and aim it at outcomes that serve the person, the mission, and the team.
Through that experience, a person can develop new motivations. Their values and self-interest often change and grow. They develop more mature motivations indirectly, as a consequence of experiencing effective leadership.
Not as a result of the leader telling them what to care about and value, but as an indirect consequence of experiencing a leader who understands their self-interest and motivations takes them seriously.
You can’t install what you want to see in another person. You can only recognize what’s already there, aim it at worthy goals, and trust the development that the experience produces.
If someone asked you today why you live differently — what would you say?
There's a reason you don't fall apart the way everyone else does.
A reason you can show up with peace in the middle of chaos.
Forgiveness when you've been wronged.
Hope when the situation says there's nothing to hope for.
That's not personality. That's not positivity. That's Jesus.
And the people in your life — at work, home, in your everyday, they're noticing something they can't quite explain.
One day they're going to ask you about it.
Be ready to tell them why.
Wishing you a peaceful Memorial Day 🇺🇸
Let’s take a moment to honor our heroes and cherish the freedoms they fought for. Their courage inspires us every day.

There are only 2 things in this world you have 100% control over 100% of the time:
Your attitude.
Your effort.
That’s it.
You can’t control the economy.
You can’t control the competition.
You can’t control other people’s opinions, decisions, or actions.
But you can control how you choose to show up.
Every day.
With energy.
With discipline.
With gratitude.
With intentional effort.
High performers understand this. They stop wasting emotional bandwidth on things outside of their control and pour everything they have into the things that are.
Because when your attitude is strong and your effort is consistent… you put yourself in position to handle whatever life or business throws your way.
Sympathy keeps its distance.
Compassion gets in the foxhole.
One of our core values at the @tebowfoundation is "we hurt when they hurt." It's not comfortable. But it's worth it — because the people around you don't need someone who feels bad for them. They need someone who shows up.
Who around you needs you to just show up today?
Strength isn’t discovered in comfortable moments, it’s revealed when comfort is no longer an option. And when that moment comes, character isn’t what you claim it is, it’s what you do when doing right costs you something. So keep showing up. Keep doing the work. Because the moment you feel most like quitting is usually the moment you’re closest to everything you’ve been fighting for. Finish the round.
If you want to know who your people are, go through rock bottom, dark times and see who shows up! Everyone hangs around when they are invited to the penthouse to sit in the sun.
