Listening to @TeamCoachBuzz talk about goals and dreams is an all time video clip: “I want to be famous in my home...”

The mindset shift that took Sam Darnold from questioning whether he belonged in the @NFL to becoming a Super Bowl winning starting quarterback with the @Seahawks is something anyone can apply to their own growth: You build a great house with a hammer. 🔨 You sustain it with a brush. 🖌️ The same self-criticism that got you here won't always take you where you need to go next. At some point, you stop building the foundation and start believing in the house you've already built. The habits that build confidence are hard work and self-discipline. The habits that protect confidence are self-belief and self-compassion. 🧑‍🎨 You don't reach the top without being hard on yourself. But eventually, growth requires believing in yourself as much as you've challenged yourself. Learn to trust the work, believe you belong, and move on from mistakes faster. The hammer builds the house. The brush helps it last. 🏠

Highlights from EYBL Session 2 Memphis

Mark Few explains the process Gonzaga uses to work on mental toughness and adversity. "We spend probably 25-30% of the athlete's time now on mental." Then he explained what that looks like: "We do this thing called PGMs - Personal Growth Mondays." "We start every Monday with this Personal Growth Monday. Staff, myself, coaches aren't allowed in there. It's just the players and Travis Knight, our strength coach and mental coach." They invest the time every week. You can't let the mental game be an afterthought. "They can dive into a myriad of anything that's currently happening or that they've requested...Processing pressure. Processing expectations. Lack of confidence. Hitting adversity. Handling success." The best teams train the mind, the body, and develop the person. Your mind is affected by your daily thoughts, habits and unconscious biases. Mental fitness helps you build resilience and thrive. Without investing time in mental fitness, managing stress, anxiety, and challenges becomes harder. (🎥 Walker Webcast)

I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard? Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

Underrated coaching truth: The best coaches aren’t obsessed with talent. They’re obsessed with effort. With attitude. With toughness. Because when it gets hard, that’s what still shows up.
