Becoming elite is a boring, monotonous process. Properly progressed training is boring, shooting 10,000 free throws, taking 10,000 swings off a tee, 10,000 ground balls, all boring. But that's just what it takes to be great.

[Shane Parrish @shaneparrish]

Good positioning is planned.

What looks like luck is often someone positioned to take advantage of changing circumstances.

Before you work harder on something, spend time identifying the point of leverage in the situation.

Working harder on the wrong thing won't move you forward.

This can be somewhat counterintuitive for those of us who have been taught to work harder when you're not getting the results you want.

Working smarter is the most valuable form of working harder.

Brooke Mullins won the Red 6K at the Bradley Pink Classic while the Bulldog XC programs competed well against MVC and regional opponents.

"89% of international U17/U18 athletes never reach that level as seniors, and 83% of international-class seniors weren't U17/U18 internationals"

A good reminder that athletes whose talent seemingly emerges in their 20s are the rule, not the exception.

Our men's squad in the 8K won the meet as a team led by Enzo Marie and Aziz Jdai. On the women's side, three middle distance runners ran incredible 5Kraces.

High-performance teams challenge each other, share ideas, trust and respect one another, and understand their collective purpose.

These are the foundations for long-term success.

One of the most important things a leader provides is clarity. When everyone knows what they are supposed to do this leads to focused action.

I just want to say that Drew Bosley's response to my question about why he grew a mustache for his NCAA record in the 3,000 meters yesterday is one of the favorite answers I've ever received.
