Curt Cignetti on his program's philosophy on how not to be average: 🎭 Average is a decision disguised as a default. Make standards visible, measurable, and non-negotiable. Because what you tolerate becomes your identity. 🤝 Most people negotiate with the work; elite teams eliminate the negotiation. The gap isn’t...

Urban Meyer delivers a raw message on average and what it takes to be great. It's so easy to be average...You know it as well as I know it." "It takes a little something special to be a great player. We don't have enough great players." "We don't wanna coach average. I don't wanna be around average." Average is a choice - so is being great. "Did you push yourself to be great today? Did you do it?" "If you didn't do it, you lost a day. We ain't got many days to lose." Excellence isn't the goal - it's the standard you set. Then he said the line: "If there's a touch of greatness in there, how cool would that be?" Every day is a chance to bring a mindset of excellence. Don't waste time just being average. (🎥ESPN )

Colt, like most hitters, cups his wrist and overuses his shoulders in the swing—and it kills consistency. Here’s what you guys don’t get: even the way you grip the bat is affecting everything you do. Barrel path, bat speed, contact… all of it. Every detail matters. But most of you won’t fix it—not because you can’t, but because you don’t train enough. You don’t get your reps in. You’re not in the cage every day cleaning it up. The players who actually improve are obsessed with the details. If that’s not you… good luck.

Geno Auriemma shares how he explains success to his players and why showing up isn't enough. "If you go to class and you do average work, you're gonna get a C. That's why it's called average." "If you want a B, you have to do more work. If you want an A, you have to do even more work and you have to give up stuff." You get what you earn in life. "You have to sacrifice. Maybe you can't do all the things that everybody else does." It means if you want more then you have to be willing to do more. "If you're just happy getting Bs all your life, there's nothing wrong with that either. But you're never gonna get the satisfaction of what it feels like to get an A." Then he connected it to basketball: "If you just wanna be average, then you do average work. If you wanna be a little bit above average then you do a little more work." "If you wanna get As in basketball, then you gotta do stuff that other people aren't willing to do - especially if you have the talent like we do. We have talent." It means bring a mindset of excellence to everything that you do. Excellence isn't the goal - it's the standard you set. Then he called out the entitlement problem: "Some of these younger guys coming out of high school, man, they wanna show up and go, 'I'm here. Where's my 3.7?'" "Like my father used to say, 'I got your 3.7 right here.'" Showing up doesn't earn you anything. Doing the work does. You get the grade you earn - in school, in basketball, and in life. It's easy to be average...successful people look to compete in everything they do. (🎥UCTV Sports )

Kenny Dillingham delivers a raw message on excellence and what average really looks like. "It was a really, really bad day on offense. And it all stems from the passion we play with." "Is it okay to not make a play? And if you accept it, then you accept it and that's who you're gonna be." Then he laid out the truth: "Don't be mad going 5-7. It's okay. Don't be mad going 6-6. Don't be mad going 3-9. 'Cause somebody has to go those records. There's gonna be tons of teams who do it. Why not us?" If you accept average, you'll become average. "We didn't practice bad - we didn't practice with passion." "The best teams - it matters all the time. You wanna win everything. And today we didn't have that mindset." They look to compete every single day. They win because they have a winning mindset. "We didn't wanna win. We wanted to practice. And those are 2 different mindsets to me." Then he dropped the line: "It was a good practice for a bad team. It was an average practice for an average team. That's what today was." This is what the mindset of excellence looks like: "We didn't practice with passion." → Good isn't good enough. "It matters all the time." → Standards never take a day off. "It was a good practice for a bad team." → Champions demand more. (🎥 Justin LaCertosa)

Mary Barra, Chairman and CEO of General Motors, on the single most underrated trait that separates high performers from everyone else: It's not intelligence, experience, or even talent. She is direct about it: "In my experience, in school and career, at work and at play, there are lots of talented people out there. But talent alone isn't enough. You need something more." That "something more" is what most people overlook entirely. "One thing that distinguishes those who really make a difference in life, those who really contribute, is passion and hard work. Remember, hard work beats talent, if talent doesn't work hard." But Mary Barra takes it further than just working hard. Because working hard quietly, passively, and waiting for your turn doesn't move the needle either. Most people operate on the edges. They show up, do the work they're assigned, and wait to be noticed. Barra says that mindset is exactly what holds people back: "Don't be content to work around the edges of your profession. Don't wait to be invited to important meetings or asked to work on crucial assignments. Instead, do what it takes to ensure that you're in the middle of your business." The underrated trait is proactive hard work, not just hard work alone. "Speak up, volunteer, show your enthusiasm, knock on doors." And the compounding effect of that behaviour is significant at every level of an organisation: "As an employee, your enthusiasm will make your job more interesting and get you noticed. As a manager, your passion will inspire others to join your team and work as hard as you to accomplish great things." The people who consistently rise are the ones who stopped waiting for permission and started showing up like the work already mattered to them, because it always did.

There exists a diseased & sick corporate structure in this country, even in the corporatised media industry. It hides behind the grandeur of fancy glass towers, corporate parties & business class travel. It is as feudal, if not more, as the society outside. Policies professing equality exist. But they can be tweaked to suit a caste system. A corporate caste system. And it is loaded against the young and the talented. It believes in the average. It nurtures a food chain of the insecure. 10 bosses will sit and identify a problem. The junior-most will be expected to come up with solutions. The ecosystem of below-average work ethic and talent ensures that no person can pursue their dreams. Eventually the talented perish. This toxic corporate ecosystem will speak a lot, but say little. We all know how the mediocres love to exhibit the cockroach instinct. Sick corporate structures are full of such dehumanised souls. In every adverse situation, a boardroom full of people will ideate on how to damage control, which will often involve fixing the external and never the internal. To all the youngsters with dreams, who suffer the indignity of below-average, insecure seniors, someone who will dump all the work on you and then throw you under the bus, someone who will make you feel small about your dreams, someone who will fill you up with self-doubt using negative reinforcement… to all those young dreamers - live on. And judge. Judge your average boss. Judge the average boss of your boss who put him there. Judge the whole system. In the hope of finding someone good, just like you.

Defending National Champion Indiana Football head coach Curt Cignetti (Curt Cignetti) explanation for Indiana's rapid transformation is a CLINIC in leadership: "If what you did yesterday seems important to you, you haven't done much today." 🍫🤯 👥 What changes results? People, Plan, Process. Results begin with people. Recruit high-character individuals (coaches and players), develop them relentlessly, and unite them around a shared vision. Talent may raise your ceiling, but character determines whether your team can consistently reach it! 📈 Culture can drift toward mediocrity by accident, but great cultures NEVER drift upward by accident. They are engineered through high standards, clear expectations, and accountability. As Coach Cignetti says, "How you do something is how you do everything." Every meeting, workout, practice, conversation, and decision is either reinforcing your standard or eroding it. 📚 Elite organizations are consumed with stacking value. They stack productive meetings, intentional practices, disciplined preparation, and consistent execution, they literally stack great days. Championships are simply the delayed byproduct of thousands of ordinary moments handled extraordinarily well. 🧠 The job of a coach leader: "The only limitations are those between your ears, and that's my job, to make sure those don't exist." Leadership is about expanding what people believe is possible and replacing self-imposed ceilings with confidence built through preparation. Yesterday's success is evidence, not a residence. The best teams refuse to live off old victories. They celebrate briefly, learn continuously, and return to work immediately. Every new day is another opportunity to earn the standard all over again. The scoreboard is always a lagging indicator. 🏆

People in the Military Don’t do Well in Business w/ Robert Herjavec on The School of Greatness via Lewis Howes Sources? I’ve yet to meet anyone that was an officer in the military that was not an above average performer in every community they joined afterwards including business. If you’re comparing non college graduates I’m sure the average prior military enlisted out performs the average Joe that didn’t attend college as well. I think in general you can assume this whole conversation is based on a fallacy. Right Grok ? Is he right?

Steph Curry after an NBA Play In Game Win — on finding joy in the work, what it feels like to be in the "zone", and how to earn the right to have success: 😄 Joy isn’t something you wait for at the finish line. It’s something you build into the repetition. When you learn to enjoy the rep itself, the work stops feeling like a cost and starts becoming the reward. This is a life hack with exponential returns. 🧾 TRUE CONFIDENCE can only come from your work! Confidence is not a mindset, it’s a receipt. It’s built quietly through preparation, through unseen reps, through promises kept to yourself you followed through on. What shows up in the light is simply the echo of what was done in the dark. 🤫 Outcomes are loud, but progress is quiet. The goal is not to chase the result, it’s to earn the next rep. Win or lose, you go again. Over time, stacking those reps earns you something more durable than success. It earns you the right to expect it. True confidence and lasting success come from finding purpose in the work itself: Showing up, doing the unseen reps, and earning the right to WIN, and believe in what you’re capable of.

WOW. Marcelo Bielsa is 70 years of age, and his parting message to Uruguay carries a lesson every coach should sit with. No group is the same. No individual is the same. Nobody. Bielsa admits he has never tried to be the “friendly” coach. He values order, discipline, seriousness, obsession. That has made him one of the most respected minds in football. But even Bielsa seems to accept something powerful here: That approach does not work for every player. It does not work in every environment. And knowledge alone is never enough. As a coach, you have to find a way to connect. Quote us on this: “You can have all the knowledge in the world, but it is absolutely useless if the people playing don’t like you. Player management and people management might not be on coaching courses, but don’t be kidded by associations. It is the most important quality a coach can have.” Football is about tactics, detail, preparation and standards. But above all, it is about people. So many coaches out there fail to grasp this, they think they can shout their way to development or success, and this day and age you simply can't.

"Now the average man gets nothing. No woman. No home. No respect. You come back from your 9-5 to a girl scrolling TikTok who earns more than you from a phone charged by your power plant." Being average used to be enough. Now it is a death sentence. Either the world needs a revolution or you need to break out of the matrix. One of those is faster.

DMSO is not your average topical treatment. It penetrates skin and tissue quickly, carries other substances deep into the body, and reduces pain, swelling, and inflammation. It must be pure and handled with care because it absorbs whatever is on your skin (including anything you mix with it to make a topical pain reliever). A powerful tool if you know how to use it.Have you used DMSO, how do you use it, and what have you found that you mix with it?

David Goggins just rewired my brain on purpose. No race. No deadline. No external carrot dangling—yet you still attack every day like your life depends on it. Because the ultimate purpose isn’t the goal. It’s YOU. “The main purpose in life is you,” Goggins says. If you’re hitting snooze or skipping the work, you simply don’t respect yourself enough yet. Self-betterment is the one mission that never ends. Real pride (quiet, earned, unbreakable) becomes the engine. In a soft world, “it’s so easy to be great nowadays because most people are weak.” Lean into the suck, own the loneliness, and turn it into your superpower. Craft your own ethos—your personal mission statement—and hold yourself ruthlessly accountable to it every morning. Like the man said: “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for everything.” My take: In 2025, surrounded by endless distractions and quick-fix dopamine, Goggins’ message is a lifeline. True strength isn’t built chasing applause or events—it’s the invisible daily deposits into your own character account. Compound that long enough, and you become antifragile. This 4:12 clip is pure fire. Watch it, feel it, live it. What’s one non-negotiable line in YOUR personal mission statement?

Super Bowl 🏆 Champ and Hall of Famer Ed Reed on accountability as a teammate, respecting the game, and "how you do everything, is how you do anything" is pure leadership cinema: 🛒 The way you do the small things is the way you’ll do the hard things. Championship habits live in the details people naturally overlook. It’s returning the shopping cart, cleaning your locker, putting your clothes where they belong, not because someone told you to, but because respect is a standard you carry, not a rule you follow. Those “little things” trickle into your preparation, your performance, and your outcomes. 🛶 Your habits are not a personal choice, they’re a team obligation. Someone is always downstream from your discipline. When you’re consistent, you make the people around you better. When you’re careless, you make their job harder. That’s what accountability really means. 🟰 Standards are the great equalizer. Draft status, contract, role... it doesn’t exempt you from the work. Belonging to something bigger means we all meet the same bar, every day. Not because it’s fair, but because it’s necessary to be champions. The 2013 Baltimore Ravens standards were the invisible and unspoken contract of their team: honored in the quiet of their smallest habits, revealed in the chaos of gamedays, and ultimately the difference between a group that just shared a locker room and one that now shares a LEGACY. 🏆

Most freshmen don’t struggle because they’re untalented. They struggle because everything is new. New environment. New system. Away from family. And the talent level? Just as good, if not better. Many expect to start right away. Most don’t. So when the struggle comes, and it will, take a lesson from Tom Brady. Early in his career, Brady got 2 practice reps. The starter got 20. He asked his coach, “How can I get better with only two?” The answer: “Make those two perfect.” So he treated them like the Super Bowl. Full speed. Full focus. No wasted motion. Two reps became four. Four became ten. Ten became a starting job. What separated him wasn’t talent. It was how he treated limited opportunities. Most backups focus on the reps they didn’t get. Brady treated his 2 reps like an audition. That lesson goes beyond sports. Not leading the project? Own your role like it runs the company. Not in the big meeting? Make your five minutes count. Not starting? Practice like it’s game day. Development isn’t about where you start. It’s about how you respond. Opportunity doesn’t expand because you deserve it. It expands because you make it impossible to ignore. Question: What are your “2 reps” right now? And are you treating them like they matter?

Alan Oppenheim, MIT professor: "Every trader alive uses a moving average. Almost none of them know it's a filter, and funds pay quants $600K for the version they were never taught." a moving average is a filter. it smooths a jumpy price to reveal the slower signal hiding underneath. that is all it is, and it is the bluntest one there is. the same math gives you filters that lag less and cut more noise, and that gap is a real edge. this is the second half of what Simons was doing. first you accept the market is a signal buried in noise. then you build the filter that reads it, and the moving average on your chart is the crudest possible version. Oppenheim builds the real ones at the board in this lecture. here is the catch. a filter only helps if there is a real signal under the noise. smooth pure randomness and you will see a beautiful trend that means nothing. the filter is free. knowing there is a real signal worth filtering is the edge.
