In this edition of The 90%, I share reflections on the post-season, highlight the grounded approach of @PGAChampionship winner Aaron Rai, and introduce the Swedish concept of fika. eomail5.com/web-version?p=f5…

As you watch Aaron Rai in the PGA Championship, you might notice he uses iron covers for his clubs and wears two gloves — two habits often viewed as golf faux pas. But both are actually inspiring. Rai grew up in a working-class family in England, where his father sacrificed heavily to support his golf career. When Aaron got an expensive set of irons as a kid, his dad would clean every groove with a pin and baby oil after practice because the clubs meant that much to them. The iron covers became a reminder to appreciate what you have. And the two gloves? Rai started wearing them as a kid during cold-weather golf in England and eventually became so comfortable with the feel that he never stopped. Not gimmicks. Just gratitude… and comfort.

This week's sign that the apocalypse is upon us: a student said, "I'm not going to look at the clock; that takes too much time." He then proceeded to pull out his phone to check the time.

Check out the “We wills” from @OU_Softball on their dugout wall. We will: 1. Energy 2. Control 3. Trust 4. Be you 5. Compete No surprise from Patty Gasso and her staff.

"We are not trying to repeat an outcome. We are trying to repeat a process." You don’t build dynasties by chasing results. You build them by mastering the habits that produce them. The scoreboard only reveals what the process already decided.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on consistency being a muscle you can grow, what discipline is, and why you can't only have it in times of prosperity: 💪 Consistency isn’t a trait you’re born with, it’s a muscle you build. Every time you follow through when it’s inconvenient, you add another rep. The strength doesn't show up until at some point in the future, but it’s earned in the now. 😁 Anyone can be consistent in times of prosperity. The real separator is doing the work when motivation disappears. That’s where identity is truly formed, you find out who you are, not in the spotlight, but in the resistance. 📌 Discipline is doing what matters most when you least feel like acting on it. If you only rely on consistency in good times, it becomes a crutch. If you train it in hard times, it becomes a competitive advantage. Champions aren’t determined by flashes of greatness, but by how RARELY they drift below their standard of success. They don’t use the consistency muscle in a reactionary way, instead they train it daily so the habit of success has somewhere to live. 🏠

“You think every time you achieve something or have success that you’ll be happy. But, then the goal posts move and they keep nudging a little bit further and further out of reach. What I’ve realized is, as long as you can find enjoyment in the journey, that’s the big thing,” @McIlroyRory

I've been a fan of @Doug_Lemov 's work for years. This article and thread is absolute gold for coaches.

As Bill Walsh has said, "Champions behave like champions before they are champions."

Students who took notes by hand scored ~28% higher on conceptual questions than laptop note-takers. Writing forces your brain to process and compress ideas instead of copying them.

Powerful: Patriots star rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson says he used to struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts before he found Jesus Christ. “I struggled with suicidal thoughts… living a life in darkness… Only Jesus pulled me out.” A true inspiration 🙏
