Was looking at afl tables today and saw Pendles will play his 433rd today. Insane effort. Thatâs more than Bont, KB and Harvey. They should celebrate it somehow.
To any young kid reading thisâŠ
Iâve doubted myself in every league Iâve ever played in.
Ryman Prem.
Conference South.
League Two.
League One.
ChampionshipâŠ
And even right before my first Premier League start last night.
Thatâs not weakness.
Thatâs being human.
Thatâs being alive.
When I was growing up, I thought Premier League players were superhuman.
Like they never felt doubt.
Like they never felt nerves.
The truth isâŠ. itâs often the opposite.
Social media wonât tell you that sometimes you step out there with no confidence. Thatâs normal. Thatâs ok!
You now have to then step out there with courage.
Confidence feels good.
Courage doesnât.
But you do it anyway. Show courage enough timesâŠ. You build confidence.
Hereâs the mindset thatâs carried me for 31 years.
When it goes well:
I worked for it.
I earned it.
Well done.
Watch it back.
Get better.
When it doesnât:
I know I prepared the best I could.
It didnât go exactly to plan. Thatâs football.
But Well done.
Watch it back.
Get better.
That simple recipe gave me a special moment last night.
Leading the team out.
Playing alongside a group that fights for every ball.
Celebrates tackles.
Gives everything for the city of Sunderland.
And sharing it with supporters who never gave up, even after four tough seasons in League One.
So if youâre a young player feeling doubtâŠ
Low confidenceâŠ
Or like you donât believe in yourselfâŠ
Youâre not alone.
Every player feels it.
Confidence isnât something youâre given.
Itâs something you build.
Bit by bit.
Day by day.
With courage.
With work.
With learning.
Anything worth building takes time.
But thatâs what makes it so worthwhile!
Thank you @SunderlandAFC â€ïžđ€
Perplexed by Australia selecting Abbott and Doggett in the Ashes Squad when they are 33 and 31 respectively. Surely there are younger, and frankly better, options.

After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. Iâm sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerryâs. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal#FreeBenAndJerrys
