Just gonna leave this here....

Greatness has a cost, and “wanting to be great” does not equal a willingness to pay. Your behaviors must consistently match your goals. Start there. #Mindset

Fun weekend to swim fast. Thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this group’s journey. #goBolles @ The Bolles School instagram.com/p/CWCNSIhg2Xw/…

The more time you spend on the internet the more important it becomes that you do something in your life like deadlifting, running a fast mile, building tables out of wood with a saw, etc.

You ARE your AVERAGE!!! Your BEST and your WORST are just a glimpse of who you COULD BE! WHO YOU ACTUALLY ARE sits somewhere between the two. Every day/moment/opportunity your behaviors push your average towards BEST or towards WORST. Will you improve your average today? #Mindset

#1 George Leonard said that “Mastery is not about reaching perfection, but rather comes from maintaining a particular mindset as you move along the path of improvement in building your skills or overcoming challenges in any endeavor.” Getting better is about the path to mastery.

Good advice from Brad Stulberg: Beware the “second arrow.” The 1st arrow is a circumstance you can't control; the 2nd arrow is your refusal to accept it. You don’t need to feel good to get going; you need to get going to have a chance to feel good. wsj.com/articles/five-…

Kids aren’t soft these days. They are overwhelmed, overstimulated, over scheduled, overexposed, over judged, over micromanaged. Stop blaming kids for an environment we created and never experienced ourselves, and the coping skills they’ve created to get through it. Empower>blame

On creating clarity in your culture . . . It’s not enough to make your team culture understood. Make it so your culture can’t possibly be misunderstood.

Usain Bolt has spent only 325 seconds - a little under 6 minutes - on the Olympics track. That means he has picked up a gold medal for every 36 seconds spent on the track, including the qualifying rounds. For those 6 minutes he trained for 20 years. That’s an investment.

We can’t all be “elite” coaches, somebody has to coach younger athletes and it’s really important that they are competent.

Anyone can show up and bring it on their best days. What separates pros from amateurs is that pros can show up and bring it on their worst days, too.

More championships for Bolles Swimming! Kudos to all on the strong swims at East Winter Nationals! ow.ly/XJOc50H9LCL

Joe Rogan: “What is discipline?” Mike Tyson: “Do what you hate to do, but do it like you love it.” Lesson in there.

How to motivate athletes: 1. Don't bother. Motivation doesn't last 2. Deliver results 3. Create an experience and community they WANT to be a part of 4. Let the ones who don't want in find the door on their own You'll be left with a room full of kids who truly WANT to be there
