@IGHSAU Does this mean that some 3A brackets will change? Doesn’t seem fair to have two top 8 teams in the same bracket.

Dan Campbell said, "Grit is when you have the ability to overcome adversity in any situation. The ability to push through it, mentally, physically, to overcome." Grit is passion and perseverance for your long-term goals. Grit isn't talent or luck, it's your ability to have stamina and endure. It's a mindset that you build over time. • It takes hard work. • It takes consistency. • It takes adaptability. 6 Ways to Develop More Grit: 1. Praise Effort over Ability - Accept that it's going to take hard work and effort. It starts with your belief and attitude that skills can be developed over time. When you consistently do the work and look to improve then you praise the importance of action and effort instead of innate ability. 2. Reflect and Grow - Developing resilience and grit is a long-term journey so constantly look to reflect, get feedback, and improve. • Developing a growth-mindset is the best way to develop grit (especially for children). • Accept that it's not about the end result, but constantly striving to grow and improve. 3. Define Your Goals - When you know where you are headed and why, then it makes getting there easier. • Remove distractions. • Define your priorities. • Define what goals you want to hit and WHY. Then set stretch goals because you want challenging objectives to test your grit. 4. Practice Deliberately - The key to grit and growth is being detailed and intentional about what you do. • Concentrate deeply on your work and practice. • Understand how to get into your flow state. • Be consistent with how you practice. Regular, purposeful practice is essential for any skill development and grit. 5. Discover Your Interests - When you know what you're interested in then doing the work is easier. It starts with genuine curiosity. Know what you care about, and recognize your interests and passions. Think about where your mind wanders because passion forms the foundation for your grit. 6. Create a Support System - In any journey there will be obstacles, so create a support system led by yourself and supported by others. Develop a positive inner dialogue. • Removing negative self-talk. • Practice optimistic self-talk by updating your beliefs Set up an external support system of mentors, coaches, or peers that you can lean on. “What makes us what we are? And what we’re going to be? I think it’s that right there. It’s GRIT.” - Dan Campbell - - - Follow @coachajkings for more posts like this!

Kurt Warner called it the, "Greatest lesson he ever learned about life and football." In 1992, Kurt Warner was a backup quarterback at the University of Northern Iowa. He was more talented than the starter, but he wasn't playing so he asked the coach why. The coach said, "The reason you're not starting is that you're not very good in practice." The response shocked Warner. He knew he could throw better than the other QBs. He outshined them when the lights came on, whether it was spring ball or the game. But then he started to think about it. He realized that almost 99% of the time his coaches and teammates saw him, was in practice. This moment shifted his mindset and perspective. Warner said, "That was one of the greatest lessons that I ever learned about life and about football. You have to bring it every day. You got to show them what to expect from you every single day." He realized: How you do one thing is how you do everything. People watch what you do all of the time, not just when the lights are on or not just for one moment. Every moment is a moment to lead by example. That moment changed everything for him. He started to take practice seriously and the results started to appear. In 1993, Kurt Warner was the starting quarterback for the University of Northern Iowa. He led the team to an 8-4 season with over 2,500 yards and 17 TDs. He was invited to training camp with the Green Bay Packers and that was just the beginning for him. Takeaway 1: Be the Example and Lead by Example In every aspect of life, not just sports, people look to your behavior and actions. It shows consistency, reliability, and the standard that you set for yourself in life. Great leaders lead through how they act. It means demonstrating what to do through your values, actions, and behaviors every day. It's essential to consistently demonstrate the qualities and behaviors we wish to see in ourselves and those around us. Takeaway 2: Value Feedback and Embrace Growth Growth is a habit and a choice. Feedback might not always be easy to hear or accept, but it's your choice whether to grow from it or deny it. You have to honest with yourself on where there are opportunities to grow. Whether in your career, sports, or personal development, being open to constructive criticism and actively seeking opportunities for growth leads to greater success and achievement. "If you're willing to put yourself and your dreams on the line, at the very least you'll discover an inner strength you may not have known existed." - Kurt Warner (@kurt13warner) - - - Follow @coachajkings for more content like this!
