Clark Lea reveals he used a rap lyric from Common to help lay the foundation he’s built at Vanderbilt “I was here as a coach and I listened to Common speak to our student group. This phrase belief is a practice, I pulled directly from his remarks. What he was talking about in his career as a wrapper, you meet way more no’s than you meet yeses. He was spending a ton of time selling CDs out of the trunk of his car.” “There was no indication that he was going to be successful. There was no one outside of himself that felt like he would become anything. But he had this belief within himself. That’s why he kept recording music. That’s why he kept selling out of the trunk of his car. He’d go anywhere and everywhere to perform and practice his craft.” “As the head coach at Vanderbilt, I get everyone’s best self. Everyone wants to say the right things, do the right things around me. But really what happens away from my eyes becomes everything in building the program.” “It also reveals what their true belief is. How many people are willing to speak their dreams or their goals, but they’re not really willing to do the work? I want to go to the NFL. I want to win a national championship. But then we turn around and do work that reveals that we don’t actually know that we have a chance to do that.” “Belief is a practice. This is not a feeling. It’s not an emotion. It’s not a dream. What you’re doing reflects what you believe possible. I don’t need a team that’s the best trash-talking team in the country. I need a team that’s the hardest-working team in the country.” “What you are literally willing to sacrifice for this program and it’s effort to win, and that's our mission, winning. Will tell me how much you believe that the dreams we have as a program are possible. Belief is a practice.”
