STEP 3: Play to Your Strengths / Cover Your Weak Spots. I was 157 lbs going against DBs 180–220. If they got their hands on me, it was over. I trained my edge, speed and quickness, and mastered the details. Leverage your strength. Fix your gaps. That’s how you #beatthecoverage.

Two defenders hit me, one high, one low. I held on and made it to the end zone. Life hits like that too, pressure from all sides. But if you’ve got purpose + grit, you don’t fold. You finish the play. 👊🏽. That’s #BeatTheCoverage. #Mindset #UnderdogMentality

You can’t wing it and expect to win. Not in sports. Not in life. Beat the Coverage is more than a mindset. It’s a system for staying ready, handling pressure, and creating wins in any environment. #BeatTheCoverage #MondayMotivation #MindsetMatters

Step 2: Find the Holes. Once you know the field, look for openings, gaps in the market, in your competition, or even your own game. Big plays come from small windows. Don’t just work harder, think smarter. #BeatTheCoverage #newkeynote.#ChiefsKingdom

I was 5'10", 153 lbs with a track scholarship,.and I still walked on to the #Oregonfootball team. People thought I was crazy. But I wasn’t chasing approval. I was chasing purpose. Not everyone will get your choices. You don’t need them to, just commit. #BeatTheCoverage

Motivation fades. Inspiration comes and goes. Discipline? That’s what shows up when you don’t feel like it. That’s what builds success. #mondaymotivation #DisciplineWins
