I asked Ben Humrichous - a former NAIA player who just competed in the Final Four - if he has an appreciation for that unlikely journey.

I was moved by his answer.

"When the buzzer sounded all I wanted to say was praise God - for the gift that this was... By God's grace... It's unlikely... God's sovereign hand being that in that... He did so many incredible things... God's grace just supplied what I need."

Underrated coaching truth:
The best coaches aren’t obsessed with talent.

They’re obsessed with effort.
With attitude.
With toughness.

That’s what wins when it gets hard.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Nick Saban warned us.

Greatness isn't given or taken.

It's earned or lost by your mindset, actions, and systems.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Nick Saban:
“To be a good player on your team, you have to affect someone else on the team. You have to cause them to play better by the way you play.”

Great players don’t just do their job.
They raise the standard for everyone around them.

Someone’s going to have a GREAT weekend story for school on Monday 😅

16-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus improves his personal best, already the HS record, by an enormous 3+ seconds to take second in the #USATFOutdoors final in 1:42.27.

He sets a new U18 world record and becomes the youngest athlete ever to represent Team USA at a World Championship.

Lutkenhaus moved from seventh to second in the last 200m, splitting a ridiculous 12.48 last 100m down the homestretch.

[Kid Doctor @CourtneyKleber]

We are so happy and blessed beyond measure to have ⁦@estherrcameron⁩ in the family now! Congratulations Spank and Esther!! We love you!

“Great cultures don’t allow moments of mediocrity.” @BallisPsych

There are no small things.
No off days.
No good enough.

There are no little things.
Just habits that win… or habits that lose.

[Ashton Eaton @AshtonJEaton]

Pound for pound, @annaahalll might be one of the best athletes on Earth right now.

Also, imagine the 2:00, 800m athletes you know throwing shot, javelin, or doing high jump at the same level. Obviously she trains for this and that’s a huge factor, but that context gives some directional insight.

Confidence is not about guaranteeing success, it’s about knowing that if adversity strikes, you have the strength, skill and perseverance to rise.

[Inky Johnson @inkyjohnson]

Domestique!

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

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.

When are you at your best…
