@it_do_just @CryptoMeyer @palmaierc That might have been it. Is there a way to get back in and verify myself or do I need to start a new telegram account?

[S A @S2J1A4]

@CryptoMeyer @it_do_just @palmaierc Appreciate it

[S A @S2J1A4]

@CryptoMeyer @it_do_just @palmaierc @CryptoMeyer did you get this resolved? I’ve got the same issue.

[S A @S2J1A4]

@palmaierc After I get verified, it says the link expired. I read online that it could be because I got banned? I made my telegram account for this and never actually posted so I’m not sure how I could get banned, haha.

@bylucaevans Thoughts on the Cal headbutt after? Both seemed weak

[Billy Oppenheimer @bpoppenheimer]

After his second year at Michigan, Tom Brady wanted to transfer.

He wasn't playing in games, and he was so low on the depth chart that he only got 2 reps in practice.

Brady met with his coach to express his frustration, “The other quarterbacks get all the reps.”

Coach replied,

“Brady, I want you to stop worrying about what all the other players on our team are doing. All you do is worry about what the starter is doing, what the second guy is doing, what everyone else is doing. You don't worry about what you're doing.”

Coach reminded him, “You came here to be the best. If you're going to be the best, you have to beat out the best.”

And then he recommended that Brady start meeting with Greg Harden, a sports psychologist who worked in Michigan's athletic department.

Brady went to Harden's office and whined, “I'm never going to get my chance. They're only giving me 2 reps.”

Harden simply replied, “Just go out there and focus on doing the best you can with those 2 reps. Make them as perfect as you possibly can.”

“So that's what I did,” Brady said. “They'd put me in for those 2 reps, man, I'd sprint out there like it was Super Bowl 39. 'Let's go boys! Here we go! What play we got?'”

“And I started to do really well with those 2 reps. Because I brought enthusiasm, I brought energy.”

Soon, it went from getting 2 reps to getting 4 reps. Then from 4 to 10, “and before you knew it,” Brady said, with this new mindset that Greg instilled in me—to focus on what you can control, to focus on what you're getting, not what anyone else is getting, to treat every rep like it's the Super Bowl—eventually, I became the starter.”

Takeaway 1:

Greg Harden telling Brady to just focus on being great during his 2 reps reminded me of a piece of advice from the entrepreneur Mark Cuban.

“People come to me all the time and tell me they're stuck,” Cuban explained. “They're stuck in a job they don't like. They're stuck working for a boss they don't like. They're stuck on a team they don't like.”

“I just tell them, 'Be great.'”

“The reality of life is that you can't just always quit your job. You can't just always go to your boss and say, 'Give me the promotion, or I'm out of here.'” You can't just always go to your coach and say, 'Give me more reps, or I'm transferring.'

“So when you're stuck, you've gotta find it within yourself to say, 'Ok, this is where I am. And if I'm going to be here, I'm going to be great.'

Because if you're great at your job, typically other people and companies find out, so it creates opportunities.”

Takeaway 2:

I've written before about “lead measures”—the actions and behaviors that predictably drive success.

The core characteristic of a lead measure, the authors of The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) write, is that “a lead measure is influenceable; it can be directly influenced by you.”

To achieve your goals, they recommend (echoing what the Michigan Coach told Brady), apply a disproportionate energy to the things that are in your control.

Starting at Michigan and for the rest of his career, that’s what Brady did, that’s what drove his success.

In his first media call after he was selected by the New England Patriots with the 199th pick in the 2000 draft, Brady was asked: “Are you aware that [along with starting quarterback, Drew Bledsoe] there’s another quarterback here that they drafted last year?”

Brady said he was aware of that. “And I know he’s a heck of a player,” Brady said. “But I’ve always really concerned myself just with the things I can control. I don’t put a lot of thinking into the other guys because I know I’m not at my best when I’m not just thinking about playing as well as I possibly can.”

- - -

“I never once in my life ever said I wanted to be the best of all time. Ever. I wanted to be the best I could be, period. I learned that in college. It didn’t matter what the other guys were doing. It mattered what I was doing.” — Tom Brady

@ShehanJeyarajah Gus johnson just said that he things the CU defense figured something out when the WR was wide open and the ball was just under thrown. The bias is just absurd

[S A @S2J1A4]

@UnnecRoughness @BFW Taking the bait here but SC not in the top 10 is bananas.

[S A @S2J1A4]

@practicalgolf I think one thing that will help is sticking to my pre-shot routine. I have noticed that when I play with friends I get out of my normal routine. Rushing reading greens, hurrying to get up and shoot, etc. I get worried about pace or aesthetics instead of sticking to what works.

BUDGET GOLF IMPROVEMENT KIT

My least favorite thing about golf is how costly the barrier of entry is, & the way that can exclude people from improving at the game.

With that in mind, if I had a $600 budget & had to build an improvement kit from scratch, here’s what I’d do.

@thomas_shaf3r @FFToday My guy. Thanks brother

[Jon Sherman @practicalgolf]

I spent 10,000+ hours practicing and studying the game of golf.

I’ve distilled everything I know into a book, which I’m proud to announce has launched today.

This is my life’s work.

Enjoy!
