MIKE LEACH ON EMBRACING HARD "Nothing is really fun unless it's hard ... You're pushing yourself. All of a sudden you're making great plays. You're doing things that you've never done before... Never hope that it's easy." ~ via Washington State Football and @DrewMaddox

Happy 72nd birthday to David Wottle and his hat. 1972. 800m. Gold. Hero.

Players Your cell phone doesn't belong in the weight room, cages or dugout. Clear your mind and give the weight room, cages and team your undivided attention. Lock in and compete.

USA’s Quincy Hall GOT THAT DAWG IN HIM winning Olympic Gold in the 400m after running the 5TH FASTEST TIME IN 400m HISTORY of 43.40. That’s the 1st Gold medal in the event for the USA since 2008. Everything about his comeback was SOLID LIKE METAL GEAR.

American distance runners are saying screw it, we'll take on the world, we don't care what you've done. For so many years there was an almost fear of other countries and runners This generation has no fear. They just believe in themselves and go for it.

I love that quote

I don’t expect kids to know the benefits of HS XC but parents should know; best GPA on average, you earn your own results, you master your own mind. The question isn’t ’WHY XC?’ The question is ‘why NOT?!’ #TOD

"Make yourself a person that handles hard well. Not someone who is waiting for the easy. Because, if you have a meaningful pursuit in life, it will never be easy." Greatness isn’t a gift—it’s a relentless pursuit. What comes easy won't last. What lasts won't come easy.

You trained all summer and nailed the proper work. And now you have a target on your back. Get over it, get used to it, and accept the responsibility of being a Champion. Walk like one, talk like one, and become one. #TOD
