[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Mike Vrabel gives a masterclass on mindset, self-talk, and dealing with doubt.

"You can't let doubt creep into what you do as a person. I don't care what you do."

"You have to be able to talk to yourself and not listen to yourself so much. You have to tell yourself what to believe."

Read that again about your self-talk. Talk to yourself - don't just listen to yourself.

Your mind will feed you doubt, fear, and negativity. Your job is to challenge it. Tell yourself what's true, not what's easy to believe.

"That doesn't say that there aren't tough times that you struggle with failure. You have to be able to recognize it and know that that is a part of all of us."

Failure isn't the opposite of success - it's part of the path to it.

Successful people don't avoid adversity. They expect it. They know that they must learn from the setbacks and challenges.

"If you coach long enough, you're gonna get fired. Just like if you play long enough, you're gonna get cut or you're gonna get traded. That's just how this business is."

That's the reality. Not cynicism...clarity.

"I've tried to explain it to the players that this is what happens. And I'm grateful for the opportunity to be able to do it with this group of guys."

Tough times happen. The choice is to be a tough person that overcomes those tough times.

UVA head coach Ryan Odom showed some raw emotion tonight when discussing the loss of former UVA and VT assistant Bill Courtney who he coached with in Blacksburg.

Erik Spoelstra on Jaime Jaquez Jr:

“Jaime at 3 o’clock was not cleared to play. He put himself out there. He spent 3 hours just trying to get his ankle ready. Even skipped walkthrough to get his treatment. He got cleared after that. Gave us everything he had.”

Shoutout to JJJ.
