This ONE play taught me a lesson I'll never forget as a football coach.
It was 2021. UVA vs Virginia Tech. There was 1:21 left in the game and we were down by 5. Here’s the play we ran...
And a thread on what I learned.
🧵 THREAD
The mediocre gather in masses.
The victims constantly rationalize.
The failures find excuses.
The weak blame the strong.
But,
The elite gather humbly.
The resilient take ownership.
The passionate find a way.
The strong gain confidence.
To do your best is to be your best.
From the weight room to the classroom, high school football motivates students to be their best selves.
Like if you think football brings out the best in everyone! #ThisIsHSFootballthisishighschoolfootball.com/posts/2024-25-…

Efficiency springs from enthusiasm because this alone can develop a dynamic impulse. Enthusiasm is incompatible with compulsion because it essentially is spontaneous. — B.H. Liddell Hart, "Why Don't We Learn From History?"

Get as far ahead of the power curve as you can. Especially when it comes to projects and tasks and daily life, get as far ahead of the power curve as you can. It's going to make your whole life better. It's going to make your whole life easier.

The preeminent quality which all great commanders have owned in common is a positiveness of manner and of viewpoint, the power to concentrate on means to a given end to the exclusion of exaggerated fears of the obstacles which lie athwart the course. — S.L.A. Marshall

People focus a whole lot on peak performance.
But over the long-haul, what you do on your not-so-great days probably matters more.
This is called raising the floor.
It's a worthwhile concept.
It is absolutely key to becoming better over time. Keep showing up.
FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL!
“The more concerned we become over the things we can't control, the less we will do with the things we can control.” – John Wooden
