[Derek Andersen @DerekjAndersen]

The hardest lesson NFL MVP Steve Young ever had to learn.

"Fear-based thinking is a liar. I was afraid of failure, so much so that I paid this price so that I could have success. I learned as an older person, that's a fallacy. That's fraudulent."

"I'm not going to pay for success with my worry and fretting. Man, fame is a thief. Fear-based thinking is a thief. There's a lot of thieves in life."

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Mike Norvell shares what mental toughness really means.

"You are defined by how you respond to things in life."

"Your response to adversity is critical."

But here's what most people miss:
"Sometimes your response to success is much more difficult."

Adversity is hard. But success? That's where complacency creeps in.

"How do you learn how to respond? You have to live in adversity. You have to become comfortable being uncomfortable. That's mental toughness."

"How you're willing to do things that you don't want to do - that's mental toughness."

"How you stay focused on the little things when everybody's patting you on the back and telling you how good of a job you're doing - that's mental toughness."

Mental toughness isn't just surviving the storm. It's staying disciplined in the sunshine.

How you respond to adversity and success both define you.

Peyton Manning says he hates when Quarterbacks take sacks to protect their completion percentage because only 7% of drives turned into touchdowns after a first down sack

“If you give up a seven-yard sack, your chances of converting, that drive is almost over. Tom Moore at the time, when I first started, said, ‘There's only a 7% chance of a touchdown drive after a sack.’ That just stuck in my head.”

“It bothers me when I see quarterbacks take an unnecessary sack to avoid the incompletion. Avoid affecting their completion percentage.”

“Because that sack falls, not on them, it falls on the offensive line. I learned real quick from an old coach named Howard Mudd who said, you better throw that ball away. Don’t give that to us if it���s unnecessary. Seven percent.”

“I’m like, there’s no chance we’re going to score a touchdown if we get a sack. A throwaway? I can deal with second-and-10. I can’t really deal with second-and-18 that well. There’s not a lot of good second-and-18 calls on that call sheet.”
