Homecoming: Panthers and Vikings are finalizing a trade for WR Adam Thielen to return to Minnesota, sources tell ESPN.

The trade: Vikings get Thielen, a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.

Panthers get a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick.

Thielen starred for the Vikings from 2013-2022. Now he returns.

ATHLETES: Coaches watch you every day.

The off-season shows who's committed to improving and working hard, versus those who are not.

Greatness is achieved through commitment, sacrifice, and great daily habits.

‘No Deposit - No Return.’

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

PLAYERS: Your coach shouldn't have to beg you to be unselfish, provide energy, have a good attitude, or give your best effort. Those are all things you can control. That is what a winning teammate brings to a team. Great teams have great teammates.

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

Culture doesn't change when a coach tells a player he's wrong; it changes when a player tells a player, THAT'S NOT HOW WE DO THINGS HERE.

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

Every team member is responsible for the culture of the team. Everyone owns a part in that culture. It's not coach's team. It's not the starter's team. It's not so-and-so team. It's everyone's team. Everyone should be invested in the process.

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

The best teams don't always have the most talented individuals, but they do have the best teammates.

[Michael Boyle @mboyle1959]

Do you really want to help your teams conditioning? Do 3-4 short sprints early in practice( ideally timed). For hockey go goal to blue, basketball, end line to half court. Raise the ceiling, not the floor. Trust me,you’ll get plenty of low intensity in practice. @pntrack

[Tony Holler @pntrack]

I receive a couple of sprint-based 🏈 testimonials every day. This seems to be the common thread. ⤵️

➡️ Prioritize speed, in and out of season.

➡️ Reduce practice volume, no conditioning, reduce collisions, PERFORM at GAME SPEED in practice.

➡️ Kids love practice. Best athletes in school play 🏈.

➡️ Weekends off.

➡️ Coaches are reborn and their family life improves.

➡️ The game is allowed to be the hardest thing we do.

➡️ We win.

➡️ Winning inspires coaches to become better coaches.

➡️ Winning inspires players to work harder in off season.
