If you doing something you love doing, it's not unfortunate. It's fortunate you're able to do that thing.

Take a step towards being part of the solution to minimize problems and maximize experiences. Understand perspective and how officials aren’t “out to get” teams.

Playing v Competing

Interesting videos, curious what the coaching world thinks?

And how would you go about identifying and developing “competitors”?

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

9 key concepts on path to performance:

-Stress + rest = growth
-Process over outcomes
-Show up; consistency compounds
-Be patient
-Presence over distraction
-Surround yourself wisely
-Internal drive over external validation
-Humility
-Self-awareness and tradeoffs over “balance���

[Brandon Smith @Coach_Smith31]

You don’t cheat it because you value it and accept it. Focus on the process and the small details.🔥

Football is a part of the #jOURney… being a great man is the destination.

And as said in the book Peak Performance, “minimize to maximize”. @stevemagness

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

HOW TO BE CONSISTENT:

•Commit to a goal that aligns with your values
•Set appropriate expectations
•Prioritize—you can't boil the ocean
•Keep it simple
•Progress over perfection

If you are good enough over and over again one day you'll wake up and realize you're great.

Today we wrapped up our Mini-Mounts Camp. It was a great week working together with our campers, HS players, & coaching staff! What our campers always remember most is not listening to a guest speaker or any particular basketball drill. It’s Spirit Day Competitions! #GoMounts

Our Mini-Mounts Camp is off to a great start! #GoMounts

"If you care about your results, and you're losing sleep over results, you won't perform in this game."

Those in the arena: obsessing over the results will drive you mad. Focus on what it takes to get better

Influencers: Results are all that matter

Trust those in the arena.

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

Don't get too caught up on good days.

Don't get too caught up on bad days.

Prioritize consistency over intensity.

There will be ups and downs. What matters is whether or not you are becoming a better average.

[Brandon Smith @Coach_Smith31]

Amen! Get to know the person instead of just looking at a number on the roster. Ask questions and just listen. The results can be eye-opening.

Nutrients are to bodies like oil and gas are to a vehicle. Put the wrong gas and oil into a vehicle and it won’t operate properly. Eat and drink the incorrect nutrients and you won’t operate as optimally as YOU COULD HAVE!

[Wendi A. Irlbeck MS, RDN, LD, CISSN @Wendi_Irlbeck]

I have had the pre-workout/energy drink conversation with multiple hockey, soccer, and baseball families today...so let me be clear here.

🚨High school & college athletes listen up🚨

If you need a pre-workout for "energy" you likely aren't:
❌Eating enough quality carb or protein
❌Hydrating or drinking sufficient fluid
❌Getting your 7-9 hours of sleep
❌Eating enough overall calories to support training & recovery demands

Consuming the level of caffeine ( 120-300 mg +) in pre-workouts, energy drinks like:
✖️Celsius
✖️Bang
✖️C4
✖️Red bull
✖️Prime
On a regular basis is extremely harmful to your health.

Too much caffeine (> 200+ mg ) in one dose or in a short period of time can lead to:
❌Heart palpations
❌Anxiety & mood disorders
❌Poor appetite = inability to consume enough kcal
❌Depression & poor sleep (caffeine has a 6 hour half life and it will still be in your system at bed time if you consume in the afternoon/evening)

Pre-workouts/caffeine can't replace the fundamentals. Back to the basics with real food.
