The tough guy lie: “Nobody cares. Work harder.” ❌Wrong. Research shows: - Teams with psychological safety perform better - Empathy drives engagement - Connection fuels performance Flip it: ✅Someone cares. Work smarter. That’s how you #winfromwithin #MentalFitness

The @chicagobears made big news this week when they hired their new head coach this week in Ben Johnson. But they also have had an innovative hire on staff that most don’t know about, a retired US Army Lt Colonel named Andy Riise, who serves as the Bears Mental Performance and Leadership Coordinator. Since much of sports performance truly comes down to the 6 inches between our ears my hope is that more teams begin to build mental health and performance STAFFS, but just a therapist on staff. Really cool insight from the Bears mental performance coach on this week’s Unbreakable: A Mental WEALTH Podcast by clicking link below. #bears #mentalhealth #coaching @designtoperform link.chtbl.com/unbreakablewi…

The #fullbackmindset is all about #attack mode. Being on the offensive, bringing your own block, and being a versatile and selfless teammate. Who’s your favorite #fullback of all time not on this list? See you in the arena.

Regarding energy, there are two types of people: Fountains and drains. You’re either a fountain that consistently provides energy, starting with yourself. Or you’re a drain who is running on empty and sucking energy from others. Be the fountain! See you in the arena.

Dear Warriors (vets & first responders): we don’t own the market on stress & trauma. They’re part of the human experience - what connects us to 92% of the pop who didn’t raise their hand. Let’s turn our struggle in into strength by walking the path for others to follow. #syita

Coaches - #protip: use whatever bulletin board material you want to help motivate your players internally. Externally, focus on your team and praise your competition - win or lose. #coachingmatters #trainyourbain #DTP #seeyouinthearena

#GOAF Mike “Wrecking Ball” Alstott. Dude was an absolute unit. 11 yrs, 5,088 yards, 58 tuds, 305 passes for 2,284 yd. 6 x Pro Bowls and 3 x All-Pro. If Alstott isn’t deserving of Pro Football Hall of Fame then Travis Kelce isn't a Swiffer. #makefullbacksgreatagain
