Mike Leach shares a must-listen postgame message on resilience, adversity, and failure. "Nothing is really, really, really fun unless it's hard. Nothing is really fun unless it's hard." "We've got to embrace that things are gonna be hard. We've got to embrace to be excited when things are hard." Successful people don't fear obstacles - they embrace them. "You gotta embrace to be excited about it being hard and playing extremely hard." "Even if you get way up on somebody, you want to be as hard as you possibly can because you're pushing yourself. And all of a sudden you're making great plays, you're doing things that you've never done before." Growth requires discomfort. You have to be willing to look bad before you get better. Then he ended with one line: "Embrace the fact that it's hard. Never hope that it's easy." If you only chase what's easy, you'll never become great. Embrace the hard because that is where growth, success, and character are built. (🎥 Washington State)

Miss Coach Leach! A true gem. Every single one of those players made a huge deposit into the confidence bank too. Everybody wants to be confident. Well.. do hard things. Adjust your process based on the outcome.

Growth is about being pushed out of your comfort zone. Pushed to do things you didn’t think you could but only through being pushed and learning when things don’t go as planned.

This man was a true gem. I have read his books. So much that so many can learn from him, not just about football, but about life. He was gone too soon.
