Great advice by Coach Roper!

[UNI Wrestling @UNI_wrestling]

We caught up with Coach @roper165 and asked him with post season around the corner what changes ( if any) do you make from a coaching perspective?

Just a reminder the Panthers have their last two home duals this weekend starting on Friday- PURPLE 0UT- vs. Missouri at 7pm.

Instead of spending time focusing on WINNING a championship, do what it takes to BECOME a champion. A champion’s mindset won’t begin & end with games or winning a title. It’s a deep desire to compete: in practice, at home, in the classroom, etc. Excellence is a lifestyle choice!

[Iowa/USA Wrestling @IowaUSAW]

We caught up with current UNI Panther and West Delaware graduate Wyatt Voelker. Voelker was a multiple time Fargo All- American. He shares why he loves wrestling in the Summer!

Be sure to mark your calendars for May 4-5 for Iowa/ USA Freestyle and Greco State!

PLAYERS: Your body language conveys a message to your teammates and coaches. It can show others what kind of attitude, energy, toughness, focus, unselfishness, and maturity you possess. Your body language never whispers ... it screams!

[Brian Kight @BrianKight]

The following is true in the living room, locker room, & board room:

Model the behavior you want to see from the people you lead.

• Model the Effort
• Model the Standards
• Model the Discipline
• Model the Energy

If you don’t do it, why would they ever do it?

Some great nuggets in this!

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Tom Moore on Peyton Manning, "A lot of people want to be great. A lot of people just want to talk about it. He did every single thing in his power every single day to be great."

Excellence is the mindset, it's not the destination.

Peyton Manning's greatest ability wasn't his arm strength, it was his ability to aim for excellence in everything he did.
✅It was his will to work.
✅It was his will to prepare.
✅It was his will to be consistent.

Peyton Manning became one of the best ever through his unrelenting work ethic, commitment to excellence, and dedication to his craft.

3 amazing stories of Peyton Manning and how he embodies these values👇

Unrelenting Work Ethic
In the 2012 offseason, Peyton Manning was recovering from neck surgery and working out with former teammates at Duke University. He was getting better, but wanted to see if he was ready for games.

To get a sense of how healthy he was, he made them recreate the entire 2009 AFC Championship game vs the NY Jets. They ran every play in order, but they didn't just run their plays, they simulated TV timeouts, the half-time break, and stood on the sideline for the Jets offense.

Austin Collie said, "He thought about everything, all of the possibilities."

Takeaway: Your work ethic and ability to prepare is what will separate you in life.

You have to show up and do the work consistently, but you also have to bring intensity and mindfulness on those days. This is a great example of going all-in and being intentional about how you practice. Making sure that you prepare your mind and body for what is to come. Be intentional about how you work. Spend time practicing what matters.

Commitment to Excellence
In 2002, Tony Dungy took over as the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning had already been a star in the league, but he told Tony on the first day that he wanted to be coached hard and he wanted to win a championship. Tony shrugged it off as a normal player saying it, but 2 weeks later Peyton showed up in his office.

Tony said, "He showed up with 7 pages of yellow legal pad saying, 'This is what I plan to work on this offseason and you need to help me with these.'"

Takeaway: Excellence isn't a one-time event, it's a journey and a mindset.

Greatness isn't an accident when you take ownership of your mindset, commitment, and will to improve and get better every day. This is an example of taking ownership and always striving to get better. By doing this, you're making improvement inevitable. It starts by winning today and then tomorrow and then the next day. When you strive for excellence, success follows.

Dedication to His Craft
When he was younger, the Colts were said to have gone months practicing without a dropping a pass. And if they did, they would run the play over until it was right. Dominic Rhodes said, "After practice, you'd see the man (Peyton) in the weight room getting stronger, and then he'd be back watching more film. Every single day."

Peyton led by example and that continued until he retired. At 39, he was still dedicated to getting better. David Cutcliffe (his former coach) worked with him in the offseason and said, "I watch his focus, his intensity, the absolute desire for every rep to be as good as it can be - that hunger is pretty amazing at this stage. But that's what successful people do."

Takeaway: True progress requires a commitment to self-improvement and your craft.

Growth isn't guaranteed. The disciplines and habits you set today will guide your future. This is a great example of putting the time in and working towards mastery. Those little details make big victories over time. By age 35, 95% of your day is defined by your habits.

"I've never left the field saying, 'I could have done more to get ready.' And that gives me peace of mind."

@allysonschwab Truth!

[Allyson Schwab @allysonschwab]

Not just athletes, but in our realm of life especially athletes : people need to hear they are loved for who they are not what they do, not the results they have, and not what they can do for you.

Relationships that are transactional are not relationships that build roots. Those types of relationships are depleting and exhausting because you are chasing something you will never get from that person: the acknowledgment that what you have to offer this earth is enough despite the results you produce.

Coaches, bosses, mentors that build relationships establish a trust between them and their athlete, employee, or friend and trust can have a huge impact on culture and performance.

Aaron Rodgers tore his achilles last night. After all that effort and all those expectations, it’s over in 4 plays. Brutal.

But …

I’ll bet you woke up this morning to a world unaffected. Nothing stops. Everything continues, including the rest of the NFL. We all march forward with our responsibilities and pursuits in our own lives.

Here’s the lesson for all of us:

When similar disappointment lands on our doorstep, rather than on Aaron Rodgers’ achilles and career, remind yourself that it’s only a moment of your life, not the end of the world.

Our pain is not the end of the world. The rest of life doesn’t stop just because we experience a crushing disappointment.

The sun will rise again and so will you. Remember that when it’s your turn to endure a similar experience.
