[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

The hardest job in coaching?

Being married to one.

The challenges are real: The long hours, the emotional rollercoaster, the sacrifices.

But behind every great coach is a spouse who makes it all possible.

Do something uncomfortable today to improve your mental toughness. Take a cold shower. Run five miles. Conquer a fear. Living in constant comfort and luxury makes you mentally weak as well as lazy, ungrateful, and needy.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Underperforming teams get bored with the basics.

High performing teams are committed to being brilliant in the basics.

Keep showing up.

You cannot skip the struggle.

Adversity and challenges will happen. It is how we grow. The process is the prize.

Too many want to skip the struggle.

- Accept the struggle.
- Overcome the struggle.

This is how greatness occurs.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Your attitude is contagious. Make sure you spread a positive one!

[Danielle MacKnight @danimacferrara]

Good reminder for us all today.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Self-talk is one of the most important mental skills. The way you talk to yourself greatly affects your motivation, confidence, resilience, and mental health. The better your self-talk, the happier and more successful you’ll be!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

The weight room does more than just build your body. It builds character & mental toughness. It strengthens weaknesses & reveals assertiveness. It shows who has drive & who fakes it. Through grit, it reveals who’ll quit & who won’t. Ultimately, doing hard things create leaders!
