True story. My friend had covid and now 10 months later his antibodies tested high. His friend was vaccinated 8 months ago and the test showed no antibodies. My friend w/natural immunity can’t go to a restaurant in NYC and is considered unsafe. His friend w/no antibodies can. 🤔
I admire
@DjokerNole
for his tennis and mental toughness but respect him most for taking a stand for principle while the world played political science. He would prove to be correct based on all the recent studies and real world evidence and experience.

A Navy Seal told me that most guys tying to be a Navy SEAL don’t make it through Hell week because they’re dreaming for it to be over. The ones who make it just focus on making it to breakfast. Don’t worry about tomorrow. Win the moment. WIN TODAY!

There are two Americas. One America believes whatever the corporate media tells them. The other America gets their news and info from other sources and clearly sees how the media is lying and protects liars. The second America is growing and it’s why I’m optimistic.
A Navy Seal told me that most guys tying to be a Navy SEAL don’t make it through Hell week because they’re dreaming for it to be over and longing for it to end. The ones who make it just focus on making it to breakfast. One moment, one day at a time.
When I speak to college athletes I tell them 20 years from now you’re not going to wish you would have spent more time on social media or played more Fortnite or partied more. 20 years from now you’ll wish you would have devoted yourself to being the best you can be.

In between Good Friday and Easter, Saturday is the day where hope was lost, the future was uncertain, and despair set in. If you feel like you’re living in a perpetual Saturday I want you to know Sunday is coming. You’re not done. You will do amazing things. God has a plan!

Not surprised to hear Dabo say this. After they won the Championship in the locker room Dabo told his players don’t let this be the best moment of your life. It can’t be. Be great husbands. Be great fathers. Do great things! He wasn’t focused on the win. He was focused on them 👇
Dabo Swinney with some 🔥🔥🔥 Take 2 minutes & enjoy ⤵️
“The fun is in the winning. If it ain't fun to win then that's a sad state of affairs.”
“I want to be judged personally by how my boys turn out in life - judge me by that."
Message to high school and college athletes:
If you are allowed to play this season, just keep getting better.
If you are not allowed to play this season, just keep getting better.
Either way just keep getting better.
You can love your country, admit it is flawed and work to make it better. America is a country with perfect ideals and imperfect people. We are at our best when we strive for and live up to the promise of these ideals. We have so much to be thankful for and yet much to do. 🙏🏿🙏🏻🇺🇸

It’s just 2 weeks. It’s just 6 feet. It’s just isolation. Fauci said we can’t/won’t mandate vaccines. Now they are. It’s just a restaurant you can’t enter. It’s just a job you’re losing for not getting a medical injection. Soon, it’s you just can’t fly. It’s just not about health
If they praise you, SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. If they criticize you, SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. If no one even notices you, just SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. Just keep showing up, doing the work, and leading the way.
Since I’ve spoken out against vaccine passports I’ve lost some followers and readers (not sure why). To be honest I don’t want to lose anyone but I’m more focused on not losing the country I love. I’m for vaccines that save lives. I’m against vaccine passports and mandates.
2 Truths to Remember This Week:
1. Failure is not meant to define you, it’s meant to refine you. Sometimes you have to lose a goal to find your destiny.
2. Ignore the critics. Show up and do the work. You are here for a reason. You have a purpose and you are meant to share it.

I hate when we’re reminded of the fragility of life. I always think people are going to live forever until they don’t. I never thought my parents would die until I saw them go. I hate it even more when it’s so sudden, especially a hero like Kobe. My heart breaks for his family.

Dabo once said to me “A lot of teams focus on the process. Yes you must have a process. We have a process too. But we are all about the relationships that drive the process.”
Relationships > Process
People laughed at guys like Dabo and PJ Fleck. “Too positive,” they say. Then they start winning and everyone wants what they have. It’s the power of positive leadership. It’s not a nice way to lead. It’s the way to lead!
