💯Pain is inevitable
Suffering is optional

⤵️When Players obey what they feel . . . it’s inconsistent.
⤴️When Players obey what is important to them . . . it’s reliable.

“💪🏻DOERS💪🏻 make mistakes, mistakes come from 💪🏻DOING💪🏻.
But, so does success.” -Wooden

COURAGE is all it takes

“We r pressed, but NOT crushed . . .

Persecuted, but NOT abandoned . . .

Struck down, but NOT destroyed.”

Sometimes, you wonder if what your doing makes a difference . . .

These messages recharge you!!

🙌🏻 Very gracious review from Portland Christian Academy!

These kinds of messages are dope and very gracious!

Athletes change their behavior for

✅ THEIR reasons
not
❌ YOUR reasons

Find out what’s important to THEM!

ALL YOU CAN CONTROL IS . . .
How much you invest what you've been given:

The first man turned $5 dollars into $10.
The second man turned $2 dollars into $4.

Jesus had the same exact reaction to both. Why? The first guy had a bigger total!

They both invested ALL He gave them.

How to get players out of "Avoidance Mode":
1. Give them the goal of aggression, not outcome.
2. Praise and instruct aggression, not outcome.
3. Repeat.

There can be NO OTHER goal besides aggression at first. Once they're comfortable, you can structure it.

BELIEF in yourself is unreliable . . .

We all have days of DOUBT 👤

Keep your . . .
Eyes 👀
Effort 💪🏻
On executing your plan instead of fixing your doubt and you’ll be fine.

Winners practice with two things:

1. A lot of failure: If you're not messing up, then you're staying the same.
2. A lot of identity: You can't cover everything, stick to what you do most.

Combine them and grow within your identity. THAT'S EFFICIENCY!

Confidence comes with a price . . .💰

1. Preparation
2. More Preparation
3. When you’re exhausted, more preparation.

Christ showed us how to handle anxiety . . .

The garden of gesthemane 🌳

Face your fears (since you can’t eliminate them) & execute the plan.

It’s that simple.

What's the meaning of this Jordan quote:

"I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. "

It means, "Because I'm willing to screw up, I'm successful."

😷 I’ve noticed an EPIDEMIC
•
Kids don’t know how to handle adversity.
•
Lots of players instantly feel sorry for themselves.
•
As Coaches, we can’t allow it.
•
I don’t care if you get annihilated . . . you just gotta fight.
•
Things always turn out well for fighters.
•
Just like they teach running backs. KEEP MOVING YOUR FEET

🙏🏼 MY ULTIMATE GOAL: YOU
•
I hope to relieve some of the pain athletes go through . . .
•
Give yourself permission to be a mixture of good plays and bad.
•
You DONT need perfection.
•
Christ said, that yoke doesn’t fit you anyways.
•
Any deviation from perfection DOESNT mean you suck.
•
It means you’re human.
•
Perfection’s already been decided at the ✝️
“It is finished.”
•
Demand something else from yourself.
•
Demand BEST EFFORT in PREPARATION and EX*****ON.
•
Wherever the chips fall, they fall. But, there’s no higher demand than best effort.
