One Thought
"I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I'm like, 'My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt.' We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't surrender to it. You embrace it as fuel. That's the Mamba Mentality: not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it."- Kobe Bryant

Accountability begin begins at the top.
Bill Belichick didn’t let Tom Brady slide.
Why?
Because when your best player is held accountable…
No one else can hide.
That’s how you build standards.
That’s how you build teams.— Greg Berge (@gb1121)

There’s nothing better than a hard-earned breakthrough. You kept showing up when the rewards were uncertain. When it was lonely. When you were misunderstood. And then one day, there it is. A tiny spark. A sliver of light. It’s the moment you realize every unseen rep was worth it.

- Lazy people can chase something for a day.
- Motivated people can chase something for a few weeks or months.But Obsessed people chase forever, and that's why they always rise to the top.

KIRBY SMART ON BEING GREAT
"There's one way. The right way. The hard way. There are no shortcuts.
When the alarm goes off...if you wanna be a really good player, you're gonna get up & go to class.
You've gotta do something somebody else isn't willing to do."
