Mike Leach shares a must-listen postgame message on resilience, adversity, and failure.
"Nothing is really, really, really fun unless it's hard. Nothing is really fun unless it's hard."
"We've got to embrace that things are gonna be hard. We've got to embrace to be excited when things are hard."
Successful people don't fear obstacles - they embrace them.
"You gotta embrace to be excited about it being hard and playing extremely hard."
"Even if you get way up on somebody, you want to be as hard as you possibly can because you're pushing yourself. And all of a sudden you're making great plays, you're doing things that you've never done before."
Growth requires discomfort. You have to be willing to look bad before you get better.
Then he ended with one line:
"Embrace the fact that it's hard. Never hope that it's easy."
If you only chase what's easy, you'll never become great.
Embrace the hard because that is where growth, success, and character are built.

Mike Tomlin with a must-listen speech on resilience
"The first 5 minutes never decide the outcome of the game."
"You may have what you perceive to be failure. Press on with the same spirit and determination that's allowed you to assemble here today."
Resilience is a choice.
It's a choice to endure.
Jeremiah Smith in High school when asked about the worry’s of WR depth going into OSU:
“It don’t matter to me, I’m coming to take somebody spot, I don’t care who you bring in”
He was the highest rated WR ever and his mentality was still eat or starve.
The Mentality and the Want, he just wants it more than everybody else, even when he’s already at the top.
Thats what makes him different and special.
This was one of the most raw moments from the entire conversation... and it stayed with me.
You heard me right. I hope @PhilipAMitchell's prayer never gets answered.
This is a skill, and quite frankly one that most don’t want to learn. It’s not for everybody, I get it. But for those that choose this life… Buckle up!
