“I care less about mistakes and I care more about responses. I don’t care about the mistake that got us there. I care about what we’re going to do next. We talk a lot about mental strength and mental fortitude and the skills that go into that. They’re able to be themselves,”

The University of Texas issued an RFP for a new arena and student-athlete housing next to Moody Center. The 6,000-seat venue would host the powerhouse volleyball program, with 300 athlete-focused residential units also in the plans. https://t.co/AxYD1LdhTG

Texas A&M was 11-0 for the first time since 1992. Texas had gone from preseason No 1 to unranked in record time and had their QB labeled as College Football’s First Flop. Texas wins 27-17.

All athletes make mistakes in games. It’s how you respond to them that determines your success.

“Great moments come from great opportunity.” Herb Brooks 🥇 Before the 1980 Miracle on Ice, he reminded his team what greatness is built on. Not luck. Not hype. But preparation. https://t.co/yasyXfq5xj

Kobe Bryant was asked: “You are the best player in the world. Why would you spend 2 hours on some fundamental drills and do them over and over again?” He responded: “Why do you think I’m the best player in the world?” #ItTakesWhatItTakes

Every parent should show their kids. Every coach should show their players. Every leader should show their employees. Relentless effort wins!
The difference is the relentless effort you decide to give for your team.

Getting very angry at yourself after making mistakes in games isn’t going to help you play any better, so you might as well stay calm and continue to do the best you can. Leave your mistakes in the past. Learn from them, move on, and focus on the next play!

The key to peak performance is playing one play at a time as best as you can.

Keep your kids playing multiple sports for as long as possible. Don't listen to club coaches pushing them to specialize. They'll become more well-rounded athletes and people (and far less prone to injury/burnout) if they don't. If you're good enough, colleges will find you.
Dear young athletes- keep this photo saved to your phone and show the next person who says you have to focus on one sport in HS. The amount of kids I’ve heard say “I can’t risk getting hurt” or “my coach won’t let me” drives me crazy. You get one shot to be a HS athlete.

Every head coach knows this: A great assistant changes everything. They lift your culture. They protect your standards. And they determine how far your team can really go.

Mental toughness is about pushing yourself to stay outside of your comfort zone, both physically and mentally. Discomfort is a sign that you're giving your best effort. If you're feeling comfortable, then you most likely need to give more effort.

To perform your best in games, you need to have a short memory. Quickly forget about your mistakes and move on to the next play with complete confidence!

Six elements of a toxic team culture: 1. Low standards and no discipline. 2. A lack of ownership (excuses/complaining). 3. Intimidation and fear-based motivation. 4. Big egos and selfishness. 5. Bullying and disrespect towards others. 6. Cheating and unethical behavior.
