If you NEED something, the decision is easy. If you WANT something, make the decision slowly. Get the things you need, but not everything you want.

Most stress comes from the things you’re trying to avoid, not the hard things you’re actually doing….

I don’t judge you for your thoughts, I judge you for your actions. So does everyone else (no matter what they say). They also judge your actions. Let your actions speak strongly for you.

Advice is usually given by a person who has made a mistake and doesn’t want you to make the same one. Maybe listen before you take action:)

It’s not a bad thing to struggle. It develops character.

When you start pointing fingers and blaming others, your path to success gets blocked.

Your energy at practice is contagious whether you want it to be or not. The only question is…. Did you bring POSITIVE energy to practice?

I am not here to be your friend. I am here to help guide, mentor, and motivate change in you. Your job is to be open to change, to be willing to try new things, to be willing to risk failure in order to succeed. OUR job - Me and you together-Is to figure out the desired outcome

Get a goal. Get an accountability partner (to join you along the way)…. And get after it…

Check in with your friends today. Even if you don’t have practice. Share a smile; it goes a long day.

If you didn’t EARN it (like someone handed it to you), you’ll probably BURN it (like completely waste it).

Ever sit back and ask yourself, ‘what kind of impact am I having on my friends? My team? My family?’ If the answer isn’t what you’d expect from someone else, change it. Your impact is driven by your decisions. Make a positive impact.

Put your heart into it. If you fail, you’re still light years ahead of where you’d be if you stood there and watched.

Practice went great today because the athletes brought a great attitude to practice. Simple really…

This should be required viewing for every HS athlete; no matter what sport. It will NEVER be easier to make changes in your life than it is in HS. NEVER. Decide where to go. Take action today. ORDINARY EXCELLENCE: The story of Grant Fisher youtu.be/4Paq5tydnNA?si=rgQ2… via @YouTube

Watch this. And memorize the last line…. ‘It’s important that you find it…’ ORDINARY EXCELLENCE: The story of Grant Fisher youtu.be/4Paq5tydnNA?si=XSiu… via @YouTube

Someone is always training. Even when you’re sleeping. Make sure you train today. Maybe while THEY are sleeping….

Zurich DL. Amazing.

Don’t let your brain be an enemy. Make friends with it. Listen, but guide. Do not listen without a ‘third person view.’ And never let it just run amok.
