I think everyone should read this.

Obsession + pattern recognition + not giving a f*ck + delusional optimism is the highest form of intelligence.

The fastest way to get ahead is to have extremely high standards for yourself. Stop tolerating habits, environments, and routines that keep you stuck. Decide what kind of life you refuse to live. Then start making decisions that move you away from it.

One day your children will realize no one is coming to save them. Make sure you've prepared them for that day.

James Clear: Your goal in life should be to reduce the amount of time it takes you to get out of a bad state.

The fastest way to lose a locker room is by asking 40 kids to live by one standard while allowing your most talented player to live by another. Forget about losses, outcomes, and what’s out of your control. Holding the standard is something, as coaches, we can control. Players notice everything, especially what coaches are willing to overlook.

Losing mindsets: Blame. Complain. Defend. Make excuses. Point fingers. Winning mindsets: Reflect. Own it. Listen. Adjust. Look within. Losing asks, “Whose fault is it?” Winning asks, “What can I do better next time?” Ownership changes everything.

People may take issue with the language I use here but I stand by it.

Are we developing baseball players or showcase athletes? Exit velocity, throwing velocity, 60 times. All important. But when did testing well become more important than playing well? Measurables get you noticed. Baseball skills keep you on the field.

Nothing is more dangerous than the culture of low expectations.

"The standard creates the culture." @ChristianYelich When coaches enforce it, it's a rule. When players own it, it's a standard. When everyone lives it, it's a culture. Culture isn't built by what you preach. It's built by what you practice.

If you do the bare minimum, expect bare minimum results. You want to be great, work to be great. Nothing just happens. – J. J. Watt

I watched this at 6am and changed my whole plan for the day.

Coaching GOLD from Pat Murphy 🥇 “Worry is a waste of time.” You can’t change yesterday. You can’t control tomorrow. Be where your feet are and focus on what you can do right now. Make each day your masterpiece (Wooden).

Get over yourself. There is no magic. Only the work.
