Goals have a finish line. Greatness doesn’t.

Pete Carroll sad…

“Goals, you achieve them. To me, I want ongoing, never-ending aspirations of being great at what you’re doing.”

That’s the mindset.

Never arrive.
Never stop learning.
Never stop growing.

Keep chasing better. 🏆

[Josh Chambers @JoshChambers]

Tom Brady says his career turned around when a sports psychologist told him to stop complaining about what he wasn’t getting and start stewarding what he had the right way

“Greg said to me, ‘Why don’t you quit bitching about all the things you’re not getting, and how about you do the best with whatever opportunities you get?’, ‘Stop worrying about what the other quarterback’s getting. Stop worrying about what the coach is saying to you.’”

“‘Every time you get in there, you bring the juice. You bring the energy. You bring the enthusiasm. You treat practice like a game.’ Because if you just decide to go out there and you’re blaming everybody else, where does that get you? So I started to change my attitude.”

“I didn’t have a lot of confidence in myself. And when you don’t have a lot of confidence in yourself, you blame other people. When you gain confidence in yourself, you start pointing the finger at yourself.”

“I would encourage every athlete to look in the mirror after every day of practice or a game and say, ‘What can I do better to help the team? What can I do better?’”

“Not, ‘What does the coach need to do better?’ Not, ‘What do my teammates need to do better?’, ‘What do I need to do better?’ If every player does that, you’re going to have an incredible team.”

“You can’t have a false confidence. You don’t only gain your confidence because of your physical ability. You gain your confidence because you’re prepared, because you’re competitive. I couldn’t just show up and be better than everybody.”

“I had to show up prepared. I had to show up with energy. I had to show up with my body feeling right. I had to show up like I was on a mission.”

Pete Carroll says winning championships was never actually the point

“It isn’t about winning the championship. It’s not about that. As soon as you win it, it’s over with. It’s in your back pocket. You’ve already done that.”

“That’s not the motivator. The motivator is to be the best you can possibly be. That’s ongoing. It never ends. I’m not a big goals guy.”

“Goals, you achieve them. To me, I want ongoing, never-ending aspirations of being great at what you’re doing. There is no one game that is the only game. There is no one accomplishment that’s the only accomplishment.”

“Can you come back again? Is that really who you are? Is that worth fighting for?”

“Can you be true to yourself? Can you really be yourself under all circumstances? No matter what happens, when you get your ass whipped in the freaking Super Bowl, when you had two in a row and you’re two seconds from doing it again, can you come back after that moment and still be who you are?”

“That was what the challenge was to me. As hard as that looked, as hard as it felt, and as hard as it was on all the people around me, I took it like this: ‘Okay, you knew this was going to happen sometime.’ ‘Are you going to be the real deal or not?’”

Jaylen Brown says fasting “saved my life” and strengthened his mental health

“Giving your body a chance. You spend so much time focusing on digesting and breaking down stuff. When there's nothing in your system, your body can use that energy to go through so many different things, like to heal yourself, to make yourself have a little bit more clarity, or just your body starts to function in different ways when you have the energy to do so”

“How it's helped me in my craft is that it also pushes and challenges you. When you challenge your body by fasting and challenge your spirit, you also challenge your mental as well. It's your ability to persevere, your ability now to remain calm in adverse situations. I think fasting has helped me in that”

“It's increased my mental health, and I've said it before, in a lot of ways it's really saved my life. We go through trauma. We all have issues and things that we deal with on this planet that have an effect on us because we're humans. The state of your mind, the state of your well-being, can determine how you go forward from those moments”

“Being able to have strong mental health, being able to endure life's challenges, is a great skill set. I think fasting has helped me in that regard, developing that so that now when you reach these moments of adversity, these moments of anxiety, of angst, depression, that you're able to persevere because you've practiced it”

“If your body can go without water and food, your body can go without a lot of these other things, distractions, stress, and whatever is causing you depression, whatever is causing your lack of mental health. Actively challenge yourself because that's where growth happens, not from comfort”

@BBiomechanics God forbid defenders develop movement variability to stop the offense that has evolved so much over the last 25 years.

NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson said the one constant among winning players is being willing to fail in the summer when nobody is watching.

Every failed rep forces you to adjust and figure it out, and that is exactly what builds the self belief that shows up when the lights come on.

Get uncomfortable early and often… that is how winners are built.

[Oh No He Didn't @ohnohedidnt24]

Mike Brown:

"The buy in. It was a contract that I had everybody sign opening dinner night and I still have it framed. Everybody's signature from Mr. Dolan to Leon Rose, all the coaches, all the players, all the staff that was there that night signed and basically it was about committing to sacrifice, having a competitive spirit, being connected, believing in each other in the process while holding everybody accountable even myself...I told everybody that night if you're not gonna abide by this I'd have more respect for you to not sign it than to sign it and BS your way through tonight and BS your way through this and everybody bought in from day 1"

[NBA Courtside @NBA__Courtside]

Jalen Brunson on Kobe Bryant mentality:

“I think the way I carry myself and way I do things, it’s a credit to how I was raised by my parents. But also part of their philosophy steeps into the Mamba mentality as well. So there’s a connectivity there. I do my best to stay present in the moment and do everything I can to make sure my mind is right. Be mentally and physically ready everyday. Trusting my work. It’s what’s gotten me here. So there’s connectivity about it”
