I talk a lot about the difference between motivation and discipline with my guys I train. Everyone I train has motivation. But the thing about motivation, there’s a shelf life. After day 4-5 that motivation is gone. But when you have discipline, you’re able to hold your self accountable, to a level motivation doesn’t come close to. For example my morning routine is worship music and prayer in the hot tub and then in the cold tub for a plunge. I never actually want to get in the cold tub. But I have to battle over the weak thoughts with more powerful and positive thoughts. This allows me to stay true to what I said I was going to do and keep a discipline routine. So make a deal with yourself and hold yourself to it. Discipline and motivation are not the same!

Being able to punt and kick into strong headwinds is a skill. If you’re trying to overpower the wind, nine times out of 10, it’s not going to work. To punt successfully into the wind, you need to understand three things: trajectory, rotation, and committed lines. If you’re swinging up into the wind and launching the ball too high, you’re going to lose distance. If you’re not hitting tight spirals, the wind will affect the ball even more. Your lines matter, too. Taking a line that’s too aggressive or too wide, or walking right just to drop the ball back inside, makes it difficult to stay consistent. Manage your trajectory. Hit tight spirals. Stay committed to your lines. Control what you can control and let your technique do the work. #TyLongKicking #Punting #Kicking #SpecialTeams #TrainWithPurpose

Something I’ve learned in my life is that a lot of my stress comes from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. When I stay present, I feel like my stress drops by 90%. We can’t change the past, and we can’t control everything that happens in the future. But we can control how we show up today. Stay present. Stay positive. Stay optimistic. Focus on what you can control and keep moving forward. It’s going to work out. #TLK #NFTS #BeAPro
