Jimmy Johnson sharing a mindset lesson from General Patton.
"Football rewards the guys that are in great condition. That's when you have fun. When you're kicking somebody's ass and they're sucking for wind."
Then he quoted the great general:
"Fatigue makes cowards of us all."
"When you're tired - you make mistakes, you don't do what's right, and your will to win all of a sudden starts to waver."
"You get tired and all of a sudden you don't have that same fight."
It makes you vulnerable.
It removes your discipline and your drive to succeed.
"Fatigue makes cowards of us all. All of us. Me included."
"If you're in great shape, if you can run like a deer at the end of the ball game, you're gonna be smiling and having fun."
It means take time to prepare your mind and body.
Conditioning and preparation are things you can control.
Because when fatigue sets in, the fight goes with it if you let it.

RIP - Lou Holtz
Had the privilege to meet and discuss the coaching profession with the great Lou Holtz. Three hour plane ride that I will never forget. The knowledge that I gained from that experience has forever had an impact on my coaching career. THANKS!!
This is Pure Gold. I had the pleasure of spending time with Coach Holtz. I wanted to hear him explain his Three Rules for Life! 1) Do what’s right - trust. 2) Do everything to the best of your ability- commitment. 3) Show people you care - love. It’s pretty simple. He goes on to highlight why the transfer portal is ruining college football. The kids are losing out on the life lessons learned- how to persevere, how to be committed to a program and a group of people. You miss out on the bonds you create over 4 years. If you leave, you still have the problem, you are changing the address. These are words to live by.
Bill Parcells shares the difference between winners and losers.
"Losers assemble in little groups and complain about the coaches and the players in other little groups."
"But winners assemble as a team."
Winners don't point fingers and they don't make excuses.
They dedicate themselves to personal excellence and team excellence.
They commit to the team, bringing a positive attitude, and doing the work.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump and First Lady Melania have arrived in Kerrville, the epicenter of the Texas floods
They’ll now be taking an aerial tour to survey the damage, before meeting with first responders, in order to find out the best ways to help the victims 🇺🇸
#Browns QB Joe Flacco was asked about mentoring young quarterbacks — and gave one of the best, most thoughtful answers I’ve seen from a veteran on the topic.
This is as well as you can put it.

Coach Hand believes since the OL Coach is responsible for at least 46.5% of the players on every snap, the title of Co-OC should be automatic!
The OLCA agrees! 😂 😂
