I talk a lot about the difference between motivation and discipline with my guys I train. Everyone I train has motivation. But the thing about motivation, there’s a shelf life. After day 4-5 that motivation is gone. But when you have discipline, you’re able to hold your self accountable, to a level motivation doesn’t come close to. For example my morning routine is worship music and prayer in the hot tub and then in the cold tub for a plunge. I never actually want to get in the cold tub. But I have to battle over the weak thoughts with more powerful and positive thoughts. This allows me to stay true to what I said I was going to do and keep a discipline routine. So make a deal with yourself and hold yourself to it. Discipline and motivation are not the same!

Growing up throughout my football career, there were times when coaches would tell me not to be nervous. I would do everything I could to fight those nerves, but it never worked.
It wasn’t until later in my career that I realized many of the people telling me not to be nervous had never experienced the pressure of playing meaningful football. That’s not a knock on them, they just didn’t understand what I was feeling.
Those nerves weren’t a weakness. They were my body’s recognition of the moment. They were preparing me for what was ahead. They were a reminder that the next few hours mattered.
So for those of you who get nervous before you perform, embrace it.
Your body is recognizing the moment. It’s getting you ready to go to work.
The goal isn’t to eliminate the butterflies.
The goal is to make them fly in formation.

Just finished UAB Specialist Camp. It was very well run and led by great coaches. @Coach_Jones_1 @andrew_36_ @trlong02
Worked on FGs, Punting, and Kickoffs.
Lots of elite kickers and punters. Competition makes me want to get better.
As @Coach__DGreen say “Be Elite”
It takes work!
