@StuFather Man I almost forgot how self righteous most BYU fans are and the reason why I have a hard time with their fan base. Says a lot more about a bunch of grown adults trying to assassinate a 19 year olds character, then him warming up during a prayer.
PARENTS: One day, our kids will be finished playing sports and they will be adults raising their own kids. The best thing that we can do now is to teach them how to be good, happy people so they can, in turn, one day raise good, happy people.
Are you interested or committed?
Interested does what’s required.
Committed does whatever it takes.
Success doesn’t come to the interested—it’s earned by the committed.

Leadership means doing more.
Great leaders care, connect, and influence.
7 Leadership Principles from Dick Vermeil👇
PLAYERS: A bad coach doesn't make you have a bad attitude. A good coach doesn't make you have a good attitude. Only you can choose your attitude. Circumstances may make things harder or easier but not impossible or automatic. Your attitude shouldn't be situational.
Effort isn’t just showing up.
It’s about showing up right.
It’s about doing the small things when no one is watching, making the sacrifice to put the work in when it’s not convenient.
You don’t get results by hoping for them.
You get results by earning them.
Being coachable means you're willing to consider feedback even if you don't like what you hear. It means resisting the urge to make excuses or get defensive when challenged. Getting better is more important than your ego. You'd rather get it right than be right.
@ThighDoctor@evelina22368@thebravobabe_ I think so. It was talked about at I think reunions 2/3 or 3/4 because it was part of why Lisa was mad at Stassi or something when she came back after leaving.
4 diseases we must fight every day:
Negativity
Mediocrity
Comfort
Entitlement
Stay positive, commit to excellence & never be outworked. Surround yourself w/ people who make you happy, laugh, recharge your energy & give you a sense of peace. Then you can take on those who don’t!
