Discipline doesn’t wait for motivation.
It shows up in the dark, laces the boots, and moves anyway.
The Corps was never built on comfort. It was built on the ones who refused to fold when the weight got heavy.
Carry that standard today.
Semper Fi.
Boys Of Fall would not have been the same without my good friend @SeanPayton. This is Sean giving a pregame speech in Naperville, Illinois where he played High School football. This speech wasn’t scripted. He spoke from heart. Sean is a great football coach but he is a great communicator and motivator. This speech still gives me chills. Sean I am forever grateful. It’s football season everyone. KC
Tom Brady with some more public comments on Bill Belichick and the #Patriots parting ways (via ‘Let’s Go’ pod):
“I think we're all better players for having him as our coach. And I think there was a level of accountability and discipline that he had that maybe, we didn't always want to hear it, but in the end when we reflect back, we're happy that we did hear it and that we went through it.
I think a lot of coaches are fearful of disciplining players these days because players have social media presence and if they don't like it or hurt their feelings, you know, they can lash back out and then it becomes a popularity contest between the players and the coaches.
But I'd say one thing that was great about Coach Belichick: he never had that fear. You know, he was gonna tell you what he thought the truth was, even though we may have, you know, all disagreed a little bit at times to what that truth really was.
There was no fear in his mind of correcting. I think when you grow up coaching a guy like Lawrence Taylor… you realize that as a coach, man, if you're gonna get your point across, you better come across confident. You better come across prepared. And I think when you coach a Randy Moss, first ballot Hall of Famer, then you coach Tom Brady, and you coach some incredible players that he did, he had a way about him…— and everyone saw his work ethic too. So we all knew that it came from a place, a very educated place too.
Like I respected his work ethic so much because I knew he was combing through every single bit of film, every single week to try to put us in a position to succeed. So when someone critiques you, ‘OK, I'll, I'Il embrace that.’ Now, if you're not putting the work in and you're critiquing me, ehh. I may not listen to it. But I think we all respected the work ethic, therefore we took the coaching.
…I obviously express my gratitude toward him a lot, as I should. And whatever he chooses to do, I'm sure he'll go at it 100%. Like he always has. I'm sure this year, you know, he was going at it as hard as he could as he always has.”
Kirby Smart said, "The disease that creeps into your program is called entitlement...We have a saying around our place, we eat off the floor. If you're willing to eat off the floor, you can be special."
Entitlement is the enemy of hard work.
It's the delusion that you deserve something that you haven't earned.
• Entitlement is the enemy of progress.
• Entitlement means you're lacking in gratitude.
• Entitlement means you're not living with a growth-mindset.
6 Ways to Get Entitlement Out of Your Culture
1. Lead by Example - Leaders should demonstrate humility and a non-entitled attitude. Leading by example is not about your position or title, it's about your behavior. When leaders show they don't consider themselves above others, it sets a tone for the team, discouraging entitlement.
2. Create a Culture of Growth - When you have a mindset of excellence and improvement then the growth will never stop. Encourage a place where learning from failures, continuous self-improvement, and personal development are valued. This promotes humility and helps people understand that effort and learning are key to success, not just inherent talent or privilege.
3. Foster a Culture of Gratitude - Create an environment where gratitude and humility are valued. Encourage people to appreciate what they have and the efforts of others. You can be entitled when you are grateful for every day and every opportunity. This mindset will reduce the feelings of entitlement and promote a more cooperative and appreciative culture.
4. Set Clear Expectations and Accountability - When people know what to expect, they know how to act. Clearly define roles, responsibilities, and goals. When team members know what is expected, they understand that success is a result of meeting these objectives, not just a default outcome.
5. Encourage Service and Empathy - Promote activities that involve serving others or contributing to the team. When people know each other and care for each other, they connect and lack feelings of entitlements. It helps drive collaboration, empathy, and service to the team. People understand the value of contributing, as opposed to expecting things without effort.
6. Regularly Assess and Adjust - Continuously evaluate the team's culture and make adjustments as needed. Regular assessment helps identify entitlement issues early and allows for timely interventions to maintain a healthy, collaborative team environment.
"We don't run from hard work; our kids don't run from work. As long as you don't have entitlement in your program, you got a shot." - Kirby Smart

Giannis gave a brutally raw and honest answer about if he considers this Bucks season a failure.
Giannis is outstanding: “There’s no failure in sports. There’s good days, bad days, some days you are able to be successful, some days you are not, some days it is your turn, some days it’s not. That’s what sports is about. You don’t always win.”
