A huge obstacle to success is a fear of appearing foolish. When we learn to walk, we fall repeatedly until we can do it. We look foolish until the minute we don’t. That is how we learn. So much advantage in life comes from being willing to look foolish in the short term.

What appears to be luck is often preparation and patience. Mastering your circumstances starts with being advantageously positioned.

One big mistake people repeatedly make is focusing on proving themselves right instead of focusing on achieving the best outcome. These people care more about getting credit than creating great work. Give up the desire for credit. Focus on creating the best outcome.

I am proud of the way our guys competed last night. We gave up 24pts in FF and had 4 "backups" in the lineup vs the #7 ranked team. Every guy wrestled to their ability. Two of those backups earned pins. We lost the dual by 23 points, but the level of wrestling was fun to watch.

Even the best do stance and motion. Jordan Burroughs and Yianni Diakomihalis getting some work in.

If you were a FedEx driver, is this where you'd leave a package in the rain at 10:30pm? Lucky my wife didn't drive over it.

A commitment to WINNING means a commitment to THE WORK that WINNING requires. WIN THE DAY!

Lean into discomfort without becoming addicted to the stress. Discomfort and patience seems to be the right path.

Training our minds like we train our bodies so that when the pressure hits, it feels familiar. Mental reps win matches before they start.

“The hardest thing to teach a student—and the hardest thing to believe consistently—is that there is nothing ‘out there’ to go and get. There is no part, no career, no opportunity for which you should be searching and scrounging and coveting. All of the preparation is within, and
