"Julius, we don't pay you to think. We pay you to run."
For me, that was something I could no longer accept hearing. I'm grateful for the NFL experiences and how my life has changed.
BUT - I believe that I have a gift that is mental as well.
Never let anyone put limits on you

At my core, I always knew I wasn't going to get the opportunity to challenge myself intellectually or push my limits mentally in football.
I knew deep down inside God blessed me with sports, but my purpose was something bigger.

Now it's clear. My purpose was to study the mind, brain, and human behavior.
Then use that knowledge to help others learn how to maximize their success without paying the "Cost of Performance."

Most people double down when things aren't working.
High performers take a pause.
Sometimes you need to stop and ask yourself: Do I need a new plan?
That's refocusing. That's how you stay ahead.

Breaking News 🚨
The Seahawks and Patriots both lose Super Bowl LX!!!
What an amazing result!
I'm just being a hater because I took some tough losses to both teams.
But what I think doesn't matter 👇🧵

Whatever it is, are you treating that time gap before the big moment like these teams are treating theirs?
Or are you coasting until the pressure forces you into the moment?
Championship performance starts in the weeks before.

Stop waiting. Start treating your next big moment like it's the Super Bowl.
Because if you don't, someone else will. (And for the record, I still hope they both lose 🤣)

Depression costs organizations nearly $1 trillion globally in lost productivity each year!!
It's is the hamstring injury of corporations.
It's always getting torn and people try to play through it which usually causes more harm than good.

Timothée Chalamet wants everyone to know what he’s pursuing.
There’s something powerful about saying your ambition out loud.
Now the world can hold him accountable to what he says he’s after.
What are you committed to?

Timothée Chalamet is so athlete-coded, and it shows.
“I’m really in pursuit of greatness… I want to be one of the greats.”
Most actors talk about the craft—Timmy talks like he’s chasing a ring. GOAT mentality. We have no choice but to stan.

In 2016, I felt happy with my success but unsettled that I hadn't found myself.
I played football on Sundays, competed with some of the best athletes in the world, and pushed myself to be better.
