“When you start reading about yourself and believing your own press clippings is when you start to fall . . . When you’re not hungry, you become average.” (Kirby Smart)
Don’t do good things for attention.
Don’t do good things for credit.
Don’t do good things for praise.
Do good things to do good things, to make an impact, to serve others.
Humility is the way.

Mental toughness is built, in part, by doing something that is hard or uncomfortable over and over again, especially when you don't feel like doing it.
Stay positive and proactive to push through on your down days or when you don't have your A Game.

Parents,
When you meet your child’s teacher in the coming weeks, be sure to hug and thank them. I guarantee if you were to drive by any school right now, you would find 10+ cars in the parking lot.
Teachers are tirelessly working off the clock to perfect every little detail so that your child has a wonderful school year.
Teachers, you really are incredible and you make the world go round.
Thank. A. Teacher.
Coaches: At the close of summer ask yourself:
Did I use the time during summer wisely?
Was it a productive/positive experience for my players?
Did they learn & have fun?
Did they develop as people?
Am I fostering good sportsmanship?
Am I expecting too much or not enough?
The words we speak matter. That’s why I believe we need to speak words of truth and hope not only to ourselves, but to others as well. Here are 20 things we should say more often if we want to make the world more positive:
2 types of coaches:
Those who:
Coddle
Tell you what you want to hear
Don’t hold you accountable
Don't believe in you
Let you go through the motions
Those who:
Tell you the truth
Encourage
Challenge
Hold you accountable
Inspire
Demand excellence
ONLY 1 gets you ready for LIFE!
The world doesn’t need more transactional coaches who want to “win at all costs”.
What the world needs, is TRANSFORMATIONAL coaches who want to bless, serve, and empower those they coach, and who define winning as more than just the score of the scoreboard!
Another great morning at the Super Bowl Breakfast. Some great testimonies from former & current players. We also saw this year’s Bart Starr Man of the Year Award presented to Kirk Cousins who then shared the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Knights win El Clásico 2-1 making it TWO years in a row! An overall great team effort and great performance by the KNIGHT NATION always cheering the boys on! Seniors Ramon Aguilar and Jorge Sandoval with the goals! Edgar Vazquez with one assist.
Vamos! El clásico es azul!
Be just as careful with what goes into your mind as you are with what goes into your body. What you read, watch, and listen to makes a great impact on your mental health and athletic performance.
Farmers don't dig up their seeds to see if they are growing. They keep doing the work, cultivating, trusting the process, preparing for the harvest.
Growth takes time. Results take time. Be patient, be persistent, do the work, focus on your habits, be ready for the harvest.
