This is why people are as afraid of success as they are of failure.

My press when I’m speaking to athletes is to help them acquire the perspective that if you exit your respective sport with just stats and not work ethic- Commitment - Dedication- Metal toughness etc to sustain you for the rest of your life... you’ve missed the boat!

Tough times don’t build character, tough times reveal character. Anyone can stand tall when things are going well, but it takes a true champion to stand tall when things aren’t going well & continue to work their tails off to get things fixed.#BELIEVE

Watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. Dabo Swinney on mindset:

Your response is more important than your circumstances.

Discipline is the shortcut to your dreams. It’s not only the fastest path, it’s also the most reliable.

Nothing creates more regret than the attachment to short-term comfort.

Every play in practice is a statement of your commitment to your teammates. – Tom Herman

Today is the most important day of your life. Win today. You can’t win future days. Those moments aren’t here yet. You can’t win past days. Those moments are gone. You get to live today for the first time. Win this moment.

Bad grades are not generally the result of lack of intelligence, they are generally the result of laziness, lack of focus, poor work habits, lack of discipline or not having priorities in order. #Ap2w
