Mike Vrabel gives a masterclass on mindset, self-talk, and dealing with doubt.
"You can't let doubt creep into what you do as a person. I don't care what you do."
"You have to be able to talk to yourself and not listen to yourself so much. You have to tell yourself what to believe."
Read that again about your self-talk. Talk to yourself - don't just listen to yourself.
Your mind will feed you doubt, fear, and negativity. Your job is to challenge it. Tell yourself what's true, not what's easy to believe.
"That doesn't say that there aren't tough times that you struggle with failure. You have to be able to recognize it and know that that is a part of all of us."
Failure isn't the opposite of success - it's part of the path to it.
Successful people don't avoid adversity. They expect it. They know that they must learn from the setbacks and challenges.
"If you coach long enough, you're gonna get fired. Just like if you play long enough, you're gonna get cut or you're gonna get traded. That's just how this business is."
That's the reality. Not cynicism...clarity.
"I've tried to explain it to the players that this is what happens. And I'm grateful for the opportunity to be able to do it with this group of guys."
Tough times happen. The choice is to be a tough person that overcomes those tough times.

This is U.S. Army Veteran Ronn Easton, who was injured while serving in Vietnam. Today, he stood in the streets of Minneapolis and confronted ICE to defend his community.
RETWEET to thank Easton for his service and standing up for the Constitution!
Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.
My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.
Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.
If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.
On Sunday we had our annual Christmas party for local families. These players know how fortunate they are to be in the position that they are in, and seeing these guys give each of the families something out of their own pocket made me feel good about what we are doing and what we teach. Hope we can all find a way to bring JOY to others this holiday season.
Clark Lea is a real leader.
Doesn’t blame the committee.
Doesn’t complain about scheduling.
Doesn’t get defensive about losses or conferences.
He models responsibility for his players, same as he expects from his players.
I’m telling you, this matters more than you realize.
No coach or trainer can force you to get better. You must choose to put in purposeful work. Practice before practice. Lead during practice. Then practice more after practice. This game rewards those who build great habits. Getting better is a personal choice, not an obligation!
