Tom Brady shares advice to all young athletes and students.

"Your future is going to be what you make of it."

"If you want to be great at something, you're going to have to put all your commitment, effort, and discipline into doing that."

No one hands you greatness. It's not promised - it's built.

Everything you get is earned.
• Through action.
• Through ownership.
• Through hard work.

Your future isn't waiting for you to build it today.

“If they ever put me in, they’re never gonna take me off the field.”

- Tom Brady 🔥

The mindset of a GOAT.

Not entitlement.
Not complaining.
Not waiting for opportunity.

Earn it.
Then refuse to give it back.

2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ - LSU: Fall Camp Offensive Intro...

[Josh Chambers @JoshChambers]

Here's Pete Carroll in his endless wisdom with an AMAZING take on how to handle your haters, overcome adversity and manage self doubt on the journey to your own personal greatness:

"They didn't know how great he was... maybe they don't know how great I can be either."

In one of the lowest moments of his coaching career, Pete Carroll couldn't sleep.

He'd taken a risk becoming the @Patriots head coach knowing the massive expectations would be hard to match and it wasn't trending the right direction in his 3rd season at the helm.

He feared his young career as a head coach may already be over.

At 3 a.m. that sleepless night, he turned on the TV and happened to catch a movie about Babe Ruth...

In the scene, Boston fans relentlessly booed Ruth after he had been traded to the Yankees.

It's in that moment, watching a fanbase annihilate the greatest baseball player of all time, in which Coach Carroll credits gaining a perspective that changed the remainder of his coaching career:

"They didn't know how great he was... maybe they don't know how great I can be either."

He made a promise to himself going forward, regardless of where he coached, that instead of changing who he was to satisfy the critics, he would double down on the standards, beliefs, and culture he believed would help his team succeed.

He went on to win multiple national championships with @uscfb and a Super Bowl with the @Seahawks:

🧭 Most people can't evaluate potential, they can only evaluate evidence. Great leaders often see the destination long before anyone else does. If you constantly adjust your convictions to earn short-term approval, you'll never stay with an idea long enough for it to become extraordinary.

🌱 Build your organization around principles, not popularity. If your standards are rooted in serving others, developing people, and advancing the mission... NOT feeding your ego, don't bend simply because they're misunderstood. The greatest cultures are almost always questioned before they're respected.

⏳ History usually arrives late. The same people who doubt your vision today may celebrate it tomorrow. Your job isn't to convince everyone you're right. Your job is to keep becoming the leader your team needs so that the outcomes become positive and sustainable.

Nobody knows how great you can become except you.

Protect that vision.

Stay true to your standards.

Build it YOUR way.

If your mission is bigger than your ego and your work consistently serves others, time has a remarkable way of revealing what criticism could never recognize.

[Derrick Baney @CoachBaney]

It’s been a fun ride. Excited to continue building. Our story is our story. It’s one that started with a vision. I never get tired of sharing our story. It’s made us who we are.

The story started at 0-33. The vision keeps us focused.

[Adam Breneman @AdamBreneman81]

Fernando Mendoza is obsessed with becoming great, and it shows in everything he does.

Curt Cignetti told me he’s never coached a quarterback who prepares better, both mentally and physically.

He might come across as a little dorky in interviews, but Cignetti said that’s not who he is on the field. Between the lines, he’s a lion, and that’s what makes him different⬇️⬇️

Troy Aikman was not known as a creation quarterback, his job was to keep the offense on schedule, distribute with accuracy, and win the situation.

His elite traits were...

1. Accuracy and ball placement

Aikman was one of the cleaner pure passers of his era. He could drive the intermediate game, throw deep outs, hit timing routes, and place the ball where receivers could stay efficient after the catch.

2. Pro-style operation

He was excellent from traditional pro-style structures. Play action, five-step timing, seven-step drops, hitch timing, and full-field concepts were central to his game. His footwork matched the concept, which allowed the ball to come out on rhythm.

3. Toughness in the pocket

Aikman would stand in and deliver throws with pressure coming. He was not trying to escape clean pockets. He operated with pocket integrity, trusted the protection, and delivered the ball through contact.

4. Leadership and stability

He was calm, direct, and accountable. That UCLA team had big personalities, but Aikman gave the program a steady command presence. He did not need to be loud to be authoritative.

Memories of his 20-4 record during his time in Westwood still gets the Bruin faithful going.

"I was a backup quarterback on a 0-8 freshman football team!" - Tom Brady

- Never Give Up
- Lead by Example
- Believe in Yourself
- Be Confident in What you Do

The best players play with a "chip.”

What is yours?

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Dabo Swinney shares what it takes to be great and it starts with how you prepare.

"You gotta embrace the suck."

"There's a lot of it that just sucks and you gotta fall in love with that part if you're gonna do anything great in life."

"All the great players that I've been around - the preparation is what separates them. They love the preparation."

Everybody loves the games, but are you willing to do the work to prepare.

What does your preparation ethic look like?

"It's falling in love and embracing the suck along the way - that's what separates us."

It means falling in love with the process.

Process over outcome.

In 1968, Bob Gibson was never removed for another pitcher. Not once, all year. Including the World Series, he made 37 starts. He completed 31 of them. The other six, he was removed for a pinch-hitter.

Tom Brady 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 on one of the most powerful forces in any organization can channel: accountability.

🧲 Accountability is contagious.

When one player starts showing up early, doing the extra work, telling the truth, and holding the standard when it’s uncomfortable, it creates pressure on everyone around them. Human beings naturally conform to the behavior they see rewarded and tolerated. Economists call it the Bandwagon Effect: people tend to adopt the attitudes and behaviors of the group.

👍🏼 Nobody wants to stick out like a sore thumb.

Nobody wants to be that guy. The guy who doesn’t have his stuff together when the rest of the locker room or coaching staff does. Accountability raises the floor in that it pushes the bottom of the class to catch up to the standards and habits of the top.

🐻Courage lasts.

The best cultures spread because someone we courageous enough to model the behaviors of that culture. The first people to lean in, those are your LEADERS.

Culture is often nothing more than a collection of behaviors people just decided were “normal”.

The fastest way to change a team isn’t convincing everyone at once.

It’s getting one person to go first.
