@VoiceOfTheStar Tore mine 18 months ago.
I’ll send DM you a protocol that really helped as I recovered.

@E_TheCowboysFan @AdrianConway_ - prince that was promised.

[Danial Hooper @Sunday_Snooze]

@VanLathan 4-2-5, cover 3 flat. User control the slot corner or flat safety. Move him in closer to the front 7.

Money against all offenses other than a power based run game.

@BobbyBeltTX @BetOnline_ag What’s your pick and why is it Jason Witten?

[Danial Hooper @Sunday_Snooze]

@BobbyBeltTX @BryanBroaddus 3) miss playoffs. Hire Belichick as HC and Daboll as OC. And BB junior as DC.
4) miss again, barely. Ben Johnson and some retread DC like Rivera or Ryan (or even just Zimmer)
5) yeah…Jason Witten as HC, OC is Stefanski and DC is Panthers current DC.

[Danial Hooper @Sunday_Snooze]

@BobbyBeltTX @BryanBroaddus favorite scenario:
1) go to playoffs as 7 seed, beat commanders in round 1, win a slog in round two, get blown out in the NFC title game. Extend MM.
2) miss playoffs, trade a top 15 pick for Sean McVay, he brings whatever staff he wants.

@Marcus_Mosher I hate that I was right.

[Danial Hooper @Sunday_Snooze]

@Marcus_Mosher Rico, duh.

[Danial Hooper @Sunday_Snooze]

@Marcus_Mosher Played two games. Went very very bad. All American is not what it used to be… Or I’m just washed.

Nick Saban walked up to the interview podium after practice one day.

“Okay, y’all ready for a lecture?” he asked.

What followed was a powerful lesson on entitlement and doing your best.

Saban on the Importance of Nothing:

“Let’s talk about the importance of nothing. You get up every day, you’re entitled to nothing. Nobody owes you nothing.

“You have talent, but if you don’t have discipline, you don’t execute, you don’t focus, what do you get? Nothing.

“If you’re complacent and not paying attention to detail, what does that get you? Nothing.

“So, nothing is acceptable but your best.

“Everything is determined by what you do and trying to be your best. There should be nothing else but that, for everybody.

“That’s what we need to stay focused on. We need to not accept anything but our best in terms of what we’re doing in preparation.”

–

It’s a simple, but profound message.

Some key takeaways:

1. Entitlement is a disease. It stunts growth and erodes culture.

2. Success has a one-day life cycle. Yesterday doesn’t dictate today.

3. Nobody is owed anything. When your feet hit the floor in the morning, it’s on you.

4. Talent matters, but it’s far from all that matters.

5. The actions you take drive success. Talent only amplifies those actions.

6. Even the best can’t afford complacency. There are competitors trying to defeat you every day.

7. If you’re entitled, the biggest competitor is yourself.

8. If you’re owed nothing, that means nobody else is either. Therein is your opportunity.

9. You can have the best strategy, the best business model, the best talent and … none of it matters if you don’t execute.

10. There are no guarantees. Relish the unknown.

I'm doing 10g per day. In the morning. With my protein.

Took a month off of Creatine.
Jumped back on 7 days ago.

The effects are so noticeable.

[Danial Hooper @Sunday_Snooze]

Creatine is a nootrpic: maybe it's just the confidence that comes with feeling tighter and stronger and boosting the performance in a workout... but I feel sharper mentally and my mood is more sturdy. Plenty of studies show Creatine as a nootropic, but I live it.
