Larry Bird shares why he practiced more than anyone else. "Because I feel that if it comes down to the last shot of the game, I should be the one to be able to take it and hit it." That's the mindset. Practice isn't about reps. It's about earning...

Rory McIlroy says the way he beat his first-tee nerves was to picture the ball in the trees and walk the worst case all the way to its end. "I say this all the time. It's counterintuitive to a lot of people to do this, but I do. If you're trying to overcome anxiety or nerves or on performance, I do try to think about, well, what's the worst that could happen?" "I'm not gonna die on the golf course, thankfully." "I used to have, like, first tee nerves, like, big time. I would struggle on the first tee. And so I would say to myself, well, what's the worst that could happen?" "So if you hit it in the trees, okay, then what do you do? You go up there and you figure it out, you know, you're skillful enough to hit a punch shot out of the trees and, you know, get it up to the green and get it up and down and make a par and move on." "For whatever reason, imagining, like, the worst-case scenario, give me a level of comfort, because I felt like any worst-case scenario that I could bring up in my head, I'll be able to deal with." "Especially on the first tee for me... if you get nervous on the golf course, you get tight... it gives me a sense of freedom. And like, if I can swing free, that's when I play my best golf." "So whatever thought process I need to get into to get there, whether that's imagining the worst-case scenario." "I think I'm not standing behind a tee shot and visualizing myself hit a bad shot. Like, I'm visualizing myself hitting it where I want to. But I think just even before I get to that point, thinking, well, what's the worst that can happen?" "And then if the worst that can happen isn't that bad, it's like, well, that's okay. You'll be able to manage it." What I find wild is that he never once tries to calm himself down. He walks into the scary version instead, all the way through the punch shot and the par, and the nerves lose their grip because nothing is unknown anymore. The thing you are dreading shrinks the same way once its worst version has an ending you have already seen. - Rory McIlroy (Rory McIlroy) on The WHOOP Podcast (WHOOP)

Bam Adebayo GOES IN on the critics that says his 83 point game performance is unethical: "For the couch coaches, I mean, if you're in my shoes and you have, first of all, y'all are blaming me. You should be blaming the head coach. Get that first. I was not the one letting me go one-on-one the whole game until I had 70, and then you started to send a double. At that point, I got 70 with, like, what? nine minutes left to go in the game you think i'm not going for it like like and that's the thing that's crazy when they talk about the unethical part of the basketball i'm like if i have 70 points with 9 minutes to go Who would just be like, you know, coach, just take me out. Yeah, right. Anybody in my shoes with nine minutes left? Okay. A minute? All right. Nine? Yeah, I'm going for it. You can't be mad at that. If you are mad, I don't care because a lot of people, they're upset because if they did play, they never had a chance to get that close to chasing greatness. And then if you get that close to chasing greatness, that's the point of chasing it so you can surpass it. And some of the people have never played basketball. So like if you've been in the backyard and you and a couple of your homies have been playing 21 and you got 19. You're not going to get an easy look off. And four, they're going to talk about the free throws. It's not like I shoot 15 free throws a game. It's not like I average 10 free throws a game. You can watch the film. I was legitimately getting fouled every time. So I went to the free throw line."

Tom Brady shares the advice that changed his career and his mindset. He was at Michigan - he was only getting 2 practice reps while the starter got 20. He was complaining to sports psychologist Greg Harden: "How can I ever get better? All these guys get all the reps and I only get 2." Greg's response changed everything: "Just go in there and focus with the 2 that you got and make them as perfect as you possibly can." Focus on what you can control. So that's what he did. "They'd put me in for those 2. Man, I'd sprint in there like it was Super Bowl 49. 'Let's go boys! Here we go! What play we got?'" "I did really well with those 2 'cause I brought enthusiasm, I brought some energy, and I had a little more confidence in myself." You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn. It starts with showing up and earning it every single day. "It went from 2 reps to getting 4 reps because those 2 were pretty good. Then I had 4 good reps. Then I got 10 good reps." You can always try to lead the team in effort, attitude, and perspective because it takes no talent. Then he shared the mindset shift: "Focus on what you can control. Focus on what you're getting, not what anyone else is getting. Whenever you get an opportunity, you take advantage of it. You treat it like it's the Super Bowl." Stop complaining about what you don't have. Dominate what you do. Opportunity doesn't care about fairness - it rewards how ready you are. (🎥PBD Podcast )

🗣️ Immediate reaction from LIV Golf UK presented by JCB champion, Lucas Herbert: JERRY: I don't know where to begin. I don't know what I just saw. Was there a consistent theme to the internal dialogue that led to this kind of performance this week? What were you thinking? HERBERT: I don't know. I think last week gave me a lot of confidence that I can mix it with the best guys. Just wanted to really carry that into this week the best I could. I think I got out of my own way the first two rounds and I started thinking about it yesterday. Yeah, it was just good to play like that today when I was being pushed by two of the best players in the world. JERRY: I remember vividly following you when you won your first event on the PGA TOUR in Bermuda. On that final hole, you were visibly nervous on your second shot. You looked like you were immune to nerves all week long. How does that come about? HERBERT: I think it was a bit of a trick in hiding it. I was definitely feeling it out there. I can only do what I can do. I was able to take care of what I needed to do today pretty well to get me over the line. I knew it wasn't going to be a day where even par, 1-under was going to get it done for me. I knew I had to go out there and get it. Just kept pushing myself the whole way, and here we are JERRY: Did you ever hit some shots, notably the bunker shot in addition to so many others this week, where you just shook your head, like, I can't believe how good this is going? HERBERT: There's definitely a lot of shots -- I can think of the first shot on 10, I kind of pull one, and you're asking for it to get a good lie in the hay, lands in the rough and kicks all the way down there, you get on the green and make eagle. It was one of those weeks, just when you needed a good break. I think of the 6th hole today up the hill, the par-5, it finishes half a foot inside the short stuff and I can get it greenside. I'm looking at the lie, a foot right of that, and it could have been a load of trouble. I played great this week, but also, I got a lot of good breaks, which is really nice. It's good to take advantage of those when they come. #LIVGolfUK | Ripper GC

Important: Who is Opposing the UAPDA? "It's staff! And it's like, who elected you? You were not elected!" ~Burlison "I cannot believe that I am sponsoring the language that Senator Schumer also is sponsoring." ~Burlison ~ Burlison: "We're trying to get UAP Disclosure Acts put on the National Defense Authorization Act. We are facing difficulties, and I mean, it's so frustrating, because it's not members [of Congress]. I don't, at least, if it is members, they're not coming to me and saying, 'Hey, I'm not allowing your amendment.' "It's staff! And it's like, who elected you? You were not elected!' I mean, for you to be able to deny an elected official whose...my job is to answer to the people, and you're gonna deny me the ability to get this amendment, at least even offered, is unacceptable. "And so, right now we're trying to get that made in order, so that when it comes to the floor, at least we get an opportunity to have a vote on the UAP Disclosure Act! And then you'll know who supports it and who doesn't. "But I've gotta get the Intelligence Committee to approve that. And, so any help, André Carson, would be greatly appreciated. If you could lean on our chairman and others, that would be fantastic, but we've gotta get it made in order. And if we get out of the House, I think that we're halfway there. "And then we'll...I think we've got allies in the Senate, whether it'. And I cannot believe that I am sponsoring the language that Senator Schumer also is sponsoring (laughter and applause). But what's right is right, and truth is truth. And we're all Americans, and that's why this is such a common-sense thing. And the only thing that's gonna stop it is these staffers who are killing things behind the scenes in the cover of darkness. And so, that's what we're facing right now, so your help getting vocal on this is probably the only way we're going to get it done."

David Goggins says most people get lost in life because they fail to master the mental game: "Nothing in the world can do it like pushing yourself to the absolute limit. This is going beyond your talent. When there's no more talent. What happens to you? Most people quit. People only go to their talent level. And once their talent is gone, it becomes a mental game." "Most people can only perform to their talent level. And they ask themselves 'Man, why am I messing up right here?', 'Why is this, like, my big hurdle?'... It's because you're performing to your talent. And after that your mind has nothing for you." "I see fighters, I see runners, I see people who are great. But they get to the edge of their talent, and they're like, what's up? Because you're at the point now, where your talent can't help you. And now it's the mental game." "That's where people get lost in life. Lost in that next level. It's a talent problem." "And that is exactly what goes on in the human mind when you have a talent problem. So how are you going to defeat that bro? You're sitting there getting beat down by a guy. Just on you. Throwing you down. Take down. Take down. Hit in the face. And all that's going through you mind is there's no positivity in that." "But when you train the mind the way I train mine. You're ready man. You're ready." "First of all I didn't have much talent. So I had to train one thing. You better train your mind. Because my talent is going to run out way early." "When stuff got hard for me back in the day bro, I'm done, I'm out, See Ya! OK. I've got to invent an alter ego that can. So I invented 'Goggins'." "I invented someone who realized we're not good enough, but 'Goggins' realized we're mentally strong, and we're going to out strength the competition in the mind."

Draymond Green wants Victor Wembanyama to float less and be closer to the rim, and uses his own Game 7 performance in the 2016 Finals to illustrate why: "In order to take the next step and the next step, he's going to have to continue to figure that out more and more. Castle's going to get better, Dylan Harper is going to get better, which means they're going to require the ball more and more, which is going to require him to float less and less, and he's going to have to figure out what ultimately makes them the best and most dangerous team they can possibly be. And when you're that high a percentage at the rim, I thought it was beautiful last night. At the rim, at the rim, dunk, dunk, dunk. Oh, all right, I'mma step out and take a three now. Beautiful. Love to see that because he has an incredible jump shot, right? Like, so we don't just want to see him do away with the three. We don't just want to see him get rid of his mid-range. He's a great shooter. But when you're shooting that three, you're shooting that mid-range, that win goes to me. Whether you make it or not don't really matter. When you take it, I won, because you're not taking the 85% shot that you got at the rim. So, I won that possession. And I think he has to start to understand that. It's like I'll use myself as an example.. Game 7 of the NBA Finals, 2016. I hit six threes, 32 points, whatever it was. Beautiful. We lost. Because that 32 points that I had and the threes that I hit are different than Steph Curry scoring 32 points and hitting six threes. It's totally different. You know why? Because it causes a different reaction from the defense. If Steph Curry's hitting those threes, if Steph Curry has 32 points, somebody else got 15 just by them overreacting to him. You see what I'm saying? So with Wemby, you can hit that jump shot and it's beautiful, but when you're at the rim, it causes a different reaction to the defense." #GoSpursGo #PorVida
