Discipline is mastery, not misery.

[Brian Kight @BrianKight]

@GivlerRay We can toss in hundreds of things some people like.

Everyone likes being good at something.
Even toddlers and children with no concept of purpose or autonomy.

From our earliest ages, not being good gets us frustrated and angry. Being good gives us pleasure and pride.

[Brian Kight @BrianKight]

It’s not fun to be no good: incapable, incompetent, unprepared, unskilled, or uncompetitive.

The fun is in being capable, competent, prepared, skilled, and competitive.

Sure, everyone likes to win but it’s deeper than that. Everyone wants to feel like they’re good at something.

If you're a coach, think like a builder not a collector.

The key discipline in coaching is building systems of excellence instead of collections of excellent parts.

Great builders consistently beat great collectors.

@KevinDeShazo That's the good stuff right there

Everyone knows they need stronger discipline in some area their life. But people tend to avoid the very discipline they know they need.

It’s just part of human nature.

That’s why I’ve written the “Daily Discipline” newsletter every weekday since 2018.

• Perfect for beginners who want to learn the fundamentals of great discipline.

• Ideal for high-performers looking to sharpen their skills and keep their edge.

Stronger discipline builds a stronger, better person. No matter your age, experience, or level of performance.

If you need stronger discipline — anywhere, in anything — or know someone who does, subscribe to the Daily Discipline newsletter.

This IS sports!

Wemby’s reaction was so pure. He earned every emotion and shared it with his teammates.

People who find this corny reveal themselves as empty, lame, and sad.

I hope millions of kids see this and realize it’s cool to care and show it!

Am i the only one who finds this corny?

Phoenix to Albuquerque is rough, I’ve done it. But at least it’s gorgeous. At times spectacular.

Fun fact: saw the biggest elk of my life on that drive in the last little town before the high desert forest stretch.

Massive elk was strolling downtown on the sidewalk @ 10pm, like it was looking for an open bar. The bottom of its belly was higher than the roof of my car.

Most impressive and intimidating wild animal I’ve ever seen in person.

@WellBuiltStyle Isn’t LMNT for hydration/electrolytes, not energy?

@DelagrangeChris It was touch-and-go for a minute.

[Brian Kight @BrianKight]

Water flooded in and crashed into my face. It filled my nose and mouth immediately. I was out of air.

Was I seriously about to die like this?

Everything slowed down. My vision blurred and narrowed. A second felt like an hour. Spasm. The involuntary response of my body grasping for air it couldn’t get.

Another spasm.

Don’t panic. Don't flail. Don’t wait to be rescued.

Think. Think. Think.

A ledge! Grab it.

No!

The wall. Yes!

My hands followed the wall up and I broke through the water.

I don’t know if I breathed or coughed first. Violent breaths. Violent coughs. All at once.

I sprayed water all over my kitchen table and a little on my wife.

True story of the time I drank too fast and the water came down faster than I expected. It all went up my nose and down the wrong pipe at the same time.

@Orange_Mikey_4 @TheGridironHQ The strategy we choose is controllable. The effectiveness of the strategy is not.

I want a DC who chooses this strategy. Which is controllable.

“His intentions were strong but his actions were weak” is not the way you want to be remembered.

[Brian Kight @BrianKight]

Problems you see and feel but don’t solve become poison. They poison your thoughts, your attitude, your entire inner experience. And because cause & effect is undeniable and inescapable, that inner experience poisons your action and your outer experience.

Problems you see and feel but don’t solve poison everything.

@PLUcoachmurray The simple skill executed with discipline becomes a Super Skill.
