Game day is only 5% of your performance. The other 95% is preparation, practice & development. Everyone loves the lights & energy of game day, but what matters most is how you use the 95% that gets you ready. Everything you do, individually & as a team, gets revealed in that 5%.

The strongest teams aren’t built on talent alone. They’re built on culture. It’s trust, standards, accountability & belief. That’s a force opponents can’t match. A connected team plays with power you can’t teach & confidence you can’t fake. Talent is a skill. Culture is a weapon.

Mentally tough athletes have an unflappable demeanor. No matter what adversity or success they encounter, their attitude remains the same.

A Hard Truth for Parents. “If you do too much for your children, you are increasing your self-esteem by stealing theirs.” - Dr. Daniel Amen Let them struggle. Let them figure it out. The best gift you can give your kids is the belief that they can handle hard things.

Every parent should show their kids. Every coach should show their players. Every leader should show their employees. Relentless effort wins!

The best coaches are great motivators. They not only inspire their players to give their best effort, but they also teach them to love the process.

Uncoachable kids become unemployable adults. Once you are convinced the coach cares, let your kids get used to someone being tough on them

Instead of complaining about hard practices, you should thank your coach and embrace them, because they help you succeed in games.

Soft practices create hard games. Hard practices create easy games. Simple.

Lazy players do a little work and think that they should be successful. Successful players work their socks off and still worry that they're being lazy.
